Valerie,

I could not ascertain which type organization was involved in your request, so I include below references for universities, non-profits, for-profits and hospitals.

For Educational Institutions, the authority source would be OMB A-21 Circular (see section J8):
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a021/a021.html#exc

For Non-Profit organization, A-122 serves as the official citation (see Attachment B, section 7m):
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a122/a122.html

In terms of  Hospitals, the authoritative source would be the "DHHS-Guide for Hospitals" (see section IX, 7c).  Note that this is currently available in hardcopy only, but I have heard that DHHS is planning a Website electronically version imminently.

Finally, in reference to For-Profit organizations, the requirements are included under Federal Acquisition Regulations (see FAR, see Part 31, section 31.205-6) although these are a little bit less definitive than the others above (and, this is not an area of my expertise):

I hope that my response is of some benefit.

Regards,
Steve
