DIGEST:


THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF   THE   UNITED STATHO
WASFOINGTON. 0.0C. 20548


DATE:  May 12, 1978


OF:  Substitute Grant Projects - South Carolina State
     College

A  research grant was made to South Carolina State
College, an 1890 institution (as defined in 7 U.S. C.
S 323). undLr the authority of 7 U.S. C. S 450i using
fiscal year 1975 appropriated funds. In fiscal year
1976, although it retained some aspects of the original
proposal, the research objective of the grant was
changed.  The substitute proposal changed the scope
of the original grant and thereby created a new obli-
gation chargeable to the appropriation of the year
(fiscal year 1976) in which the substitution was made.


   The  Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Agriculture requested
our decision about the authority of the Department of Agriculture.,
under Pub. L. No. 89-196, section 2, 79 Stat. 431, 7 U.S. C. S 450i
(1976) to substitute one research grant project :or another although
awarded to the saws grantee, after the expiration of the original
appropriation.

   The  Department has provided us with the following facts:

   Grant No. 516-15-163 was made  by the Cooperative
   State Research Service (CSRS) to South Carolina State
   College (SCSC) on June 27, 1975, to fund a research
   project proposal entitled 2A Method of Determining
   Trace  Metal Concentrations Utilizing Luminescence
   Spectroscopy. t

   The  grant was part of the program administered by
   CSRS  to make research grants to the colleges eligible
   to receive funds under the Act of August 30, 1890
   (25 St.  417-419, amEnded; 7 U.S.C. 321-326 and
   328), including Tuskegee Institute. The grant was*
   funded in the amount of $146, 583 out of the annual
   appropriation made to CSRS in FY 1975 for scientific
   research pursuant to section 2 of Public Law 89-106
   (7 U.S. C. 4501). This Act, prior to its recent
   amendment  by section 1414 of the Food and Agri-
   culture Act of 1977, Public Law 95-113, authorized
