condition to its approval and the extension of any Federal financial 
assistance under JTPA pursuant to the application, provide a statement 
that the JTPA-funded program or activity is (or, in the case of a new

thereon, the assurance shall obligate the recipient, or (in the case of 
a subsequent transfer) the transferee, for the period during which the 
property is used for a purpose for which Federal financial assistance 
under JTPA is extended, or for as long as the recipient retains

real property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial 
assistance under JTPA is extended.
    (2) Where no Federal transfer of real property or interest therein 
from the Federal Government is involved, but real property or an 
interest therein is acquired or improved under a program of Federal 
financial assistance under JTPA, the recipient shall include such 
covenant described in paragraph (d)(1) of this section in the instrument 
effecting or recording any subsequent transfer of such property.
    (3) When the property is obtained from the Federal Government, such 
covenant described in paragraph (d)(1) of this section may also include
