Policy
When the State does not hold title to property acquired with federal funds, the property should not be capitalized. (Possession does not equal ownership). The property, however, can be inventoried for tracking purposes.
When the State does hold title to property acquired with federal funds, the property should be capitalized, subject to the OSC Capitalization Policy.
All inventoried/capitalized assets acquired with federal funds, regardless of whether the state holds title or not, must be flagged to ensure that federally funded assets will not be sold or transferred without following federal property disposition guidelines. When federally-funded assets are no longer needed for the grant program, the state must dispose of the assets according to the property disposition guidelines.
