This shall include those areas where the actual research or associated work is done, and also office space for research personnel.
8. EXPENDITURES DURING TWELVE MONTH PERIOD: List the amounts of yen spent during the period covered by this report according to the classification indicated in the sample form. "Materials” means basic materials and parts that are expended in conducting research (often referred to in Japanese as "shomo-hin"). "Facilities" includes floor space, experimental equipment machinery, etc., that have been acquired for permanent or semi-permanent use in research. List prepared budget for the next period.
9. SOURCE OF INCOME DURING TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD: Show all sources of monetary aids received during the period of the report. Indicate amount, date of receipt, source and purpose of each grant. If all expenses are met by one parent organization, as might be true in the case of an industrial laboratory, a statement to this effect will be sufficient. Where the funds are provided by or obtained from, more than one source, the indicated information shall be supplied. If the immediate source of funds (income) is an affiliated organization whose function is to commercialize the results of the reporting organization’s research work, then the source of the affiliate’s income should also be briefly described. State also if any grants are expected for use on the proposed research projects for the following twelve-month period.
10. CHANGES IN ORGANIZATION: Indicate all changes of organization that have taken place during the period reported. Show such changes as consolidations of sections or divisions, new sections formed, old sections discontinued, changes in the chief scientist or engineer or other key personnel, etc.
11. RESEARCH PROJECTS COMPLETED OR ABANDONED:
Designation of Project: The designation of the project shall be a title, but may also include a numerical or otherwise-coded designation if desired. The title shall be as short and concise as is consistent with the essential purpose of identifying the project and differentiating it from others.
Person in Charge: Where the scientist or engineer in charge of a project is responsible for more than one project, "Persons in Charge" shall mean and include not only the name of this scientist or engineer but also the names of the one or more subordinates who are directly concerned with this project alone, where such subordinates come within the definition, for "Scientists and Engineers" given under item number six hereabove.

MEMO FOR RECORD: (SCAPIN 47/1)
WJA/LHC/dc
11 May 1949
1. Directive No. 3 (SCAPIN 47), dated 22 September 1945 (par 8) directed laboratories and research institutes to render a report each month stating in detail the projects on which their personnel have been engaged during the preceding month and the results of such work. This directive also prohibited research on radio-active unstable elements.
2. Memorandum for the Japanese Government, AG 091.3(25 May 46) ESS/ST, SCAPIN 984, dated 25 May 1946, subject: Amendment of SCAPIN 47 (Directive No. 3) changed the period of submission of reports of research from monthly to twice yearly. This directive specifically authorized research for the extension of scientific knowledge, except in fields of warlike activities.
3. Memorandum to the Japanese Government, AG 315 (14 Sep 46) ESS/ST, SCAPIN 1203, dated 14 September 1946, subject: Form of Report for Research Agencies, authorized research on projects not warlike in nature, contingent upon submission of report. This directive required that reports be submitted on a specified form and included a detailed set of instructions for completing the form. Five copies of research reports were part of the requirement.
4. The most practical method of carrying out surveillance of research (research in aeronautics, atomic energy, radio-active unstable elements and warlike activities are prohibited by FEC policy) is by the study of reports of research and by occasional inspections.
5. Japanese officials have stated that should submission of reports be changed to a fiscal year basis, the preparation of the reports would be simplified.
6. Excellent cooperation by Japanese scientists during the past three years indicates that close surveillance is no longer necessary to insure compliance with FEC research policy. Hence, this directive reduces the requirement for submission of reports of research from a semi-annual to an annual basis, from a calendar year basis to a fiscal year basis and reduces the number of copies required from five to three.
7. This is an administrative matter.
