grantees and sub-grantees to retain any records which are continuously needed for joint use. The
awarding agency will request transfer of records to its custody when it determines that the records
possess long-term retention value. When the records are transferred to or maintained by the Federal
agency, the 3-year retention requirement is not applicable to the grantee or sub-grantee.
(c)
Starting date of retention period
(1)
General. When grant support is continued or renewed at annual or other intervals, the
retention period for the records of each funding period starts on the day the grantee or sub-grantee
submits to the awarding agency its single or last expenditure report for that period. However, if
grant support is continued or renewed quarterly, the retention period for each year's records starts
on the day the grantee submits its expenditure report for the last quarter of the Federal fiscal year.
In all other cases, the retention period starts on the day the grantee submits its final expenditure
report. If an expenditure report has been waived, the retention period starts on the day the report
would have been due.

If submitted for negotiation. If the proposal, plan, or other computation is required to be
submitted to the Federal Government (or to the grantee) to form the basis for negotiation of the
rate, then the 3-year retention period for its supporting records starts from the date of such
submission.
(ii)
If not submitted for negotiation. If the proposal, plan, or other computation is not required
to be submitted to the Federal Government (or to the grantee) for negotiation purposes, then the 3-
year retention period for the proposal plan, or computation and its supporting records starts from
end of the fiscal year (or other accounting period) covered by the proposal, plan, or other
computation.
