§ 101-43.502 - Holding agency responsibilities.

(a) Each executive agency having foreign excess personal property is responsible for its disposal as provided by title IV of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended (40 U.S.C. 511 et seq.), or by other governing statute. Before making foreign excess personal property available for return to the United States for further Federal use or for donation as prescribed in paragraph (b) of this section, and in subpart 101-44.3, the holding agency may make such property available for use in authorized Federal programs outside the United States.

(b) It is the responsibility of each holding agency, or of GSA after consultation with such agency, to determine whether it is in the interest of the United States to return foreign excess personal property to the United States for further Federal use or for donation. Determinations to return property may be made in response to specific requests for transfer or from consolidated screening requirements.
