To discontinue an approved recharge activity, submit a Discontinuation Request to Recharge Review one month following the end date that includes:

• the activity’s cessation date;
• a financial reconciliation of the activity (Dept ID - Fund - Project net position);
• a financial reconciliation of all associated reserves (Dept ID - Fund - Project net position); and
• the proposed disposition of recharge activity net position.

Deficit balances must be charged to a discretionary project. Disposition of surplus balances will be determined on a case by case basis. See treatment of surplus balance worksheet for guidance on how to return a surplus balance to recharge users. Recharge activities are not formally terminated until the recharge unit receives written approval of their proposed disposition of fund – Dept ID - Project balance(s). Units providing any goods or services to external sources should contact Government & Business Contracts of the Office of Sponsored Research for appropriate disposition of existing agreements with external clients.
