(2) Cost of publishing research results as a pamphlet or book for sale if the publication is incidental to a grant-funded research project.
§ 80.123 How may an agency use program income?
(a) A State fish and wildlife agency may choose any of the three methods listed in paragraph (b) of this section for applying program income to Federal and non-Federal outlays. The agency may also use a combination of these methods. The method or methods that the agency chooses will apply to the program income that it earns during the grant period and to the program income that any subgrantee earns during the grant period. The agency must indicate the method that it wants to use in the project statement that it submits with each application for Federal assistance.
(b) The three methods for applying program income to Federal and non-Federal outlays are in the following table:
| Method | Requirements for Using the Method |
| (1) Deduction……. | (i) The agency must deduct the program income from total allowable costs to determine the net allowable costs. (ii) The agency must use program income for current costs under the grant unless the Regional Director authorizes otherwise. (iii) If the agency does not indicate the method that it wants to use in the project statement, then it must use the deduction method. |
| (2) Addition……….. | (i) The agency may add the program income to the Federal and matching funds under the grant. (ii) The agency must use the program income for the purposes of the grant and under the terms of the grant. |
| (3) Matching……… | (i) The agency must request the Regional Director’s approval in the project statement. (ii) The agency must explain in the project statement how the agency proposes to use the program income, the expected results, and why it is essential to use program income as match. (iii) The Regional Director may approve the use of the matching method if the requirements of paragraph (c) of this section are met. |
(c) The Regional Director may approve the use of the matching method if the proposed use of the program income would:
(1) Be consistent with the intent of the applicable Act or Acts; and
(2) Result in at least one of the following:
(i) The agency substitutes program income for at least some of the match that it would otherwise have to provide, and then uses this saved match for other fish or wildlife-related projects;
(ii) The agency substitutes program income for at least some of the apportioned Federal funds, and then uses the saved Federal funds for additional eligible activities under the program; or
(iii) A net benefit to the program.
§ 80.124 How may an agency use unexpended program income?
If a State fish and wildlife agency has unexpended program income on its final Federal financial report, it may use the income under a subsequent grant for any activity eligible for funding in the grant program that generated the income.
§ 80.125 How must an agency treat income that it earns after the grant period?
(a) The State fish and wildlife agency must treat program income that it earns after the grant period as either:
(1) License revenue for the administration of the agency, or
(2) Additional funding for purposes consistent with the grant or the program.
(b) The agency must indicate its choice of one of the alternatives in paragraph (a) of this section in the project statement that the agency submits with each application for Federal assistance. If the agency does not record its choice in the project statement, the agency must treat the income earned after the grant period as license revenue.
§ 80.126 How must an agency treat income earned by a subgrantee after the grant period?
(a) The State fish and wildlife agency must treat income earned by a subgrantee after the grant period as:
(1) License revenue for the administration of the agency,
(2) Additional funding for purposes consistent with the grant or the program, or
(3) Income subject only to the terms of the subgrant agreement and any subsequent contractual agreements between the agency and the subgrantee.
(b) The agency must indicate its choice of one of the above alternatives in the project statement that it submits with each application for Federal assistance. If the agency does not indicate its choice in the project statement, the subgrantee does not have to account for any income that it earns after the grant period unless required to do so in the subgrant agreement or in any subsequent contractual agreement.
