(e) Donates to the American National Red Cross property (generally blood plasma and related medical materials) originally provided by the Red Cross to a Federal agency, but that has subsequently been determined surplus to Federal needs (see subpart G of this part);
(f) Approves, after consultation with the holding agency, foreign excess personal property to be returned to the United States for donation purposes;
(g) Coordinates and controls the level of SASP and donee screening at Federal installations;
(h) Imposes appropriate conditions on the donation of surplus property having characteristics that require special handling or use limitations (see § 102-37.455); and
(i) Keeps track of and reports on Federal donation programs (see § 102-37.105).
