Federal Right of Recovery and Waiver of Recovery (42 CFR Part 124,
Subpart H) (OMB No. 0915-0099 Extension)
The regulation known as ``Federal Right of Recovery and Waiver of
Recovery,'' provides a means for the Federal Government to recover
grant funds and a method of calculating interest when a grant-assisted
facility under Titles VI and XVI of the Public Health Service Act is
sold or leased, or there is a change in use of the facility. It also
allows for a waiver of the right of recovery under certain
circumstances. Facilities are required to provide written notice to the
Federal Government when such a change occurs: and to provide copies of
sales contacts, lease agreements, estimates of current assets and
liabilities, value of equipment, expected value of land on the new
owner's books and remaining depreciation for all fixed assets involved
in the transactions, and other information and documents pertinent to
the change of status.
