45 C.F.R. § 12a.12 – Abrogation.

(a) HHS may abrogate the conditions and restrictions in the transfer document if:
1. (1) The transferee submits to HHS a written request that HHS abrogate the conditions and restrictions in the transfer document as to all or any portion of the surplus property;
2. (2) HHS determines the terms and conditions of the proposed abrogation and determines that the proposed abrogation is in the best interest of the United States; and
