# 102-37.445 Responsibilities.

(a) The holding agency is responsible for preparing SF 97-1 upon notification by GSA that a donee has been identified. The SF 97-1 may be prepared by GSA if mutually agreed upon by the holding agency and GSA. The holding agency is designated as the “transferor.” If the holding agency authorizes or requires any other entity, including a contractor or grantee, to complete this SF 97-1, the holding agency must first ensure compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.

(b) The SASP is responsible for facilitating the transfer of the surplus vehicle to the donee in accordance with this part. The SASP must not sign the SF 97-1 as “transferee” unless the SASP is the donee.

(c) The donee is responsible for processing the SF 97-1 in accordance with state licensing and titling authorities. The donee signs the SF 97-1 as “transferee” upon receipt of the surplus motor vehicle. The donee is responsible for notifying the SASP if an SF 97-1 is not provided by the Government.
