§ 101-47.203-6 - Designation as personal property.

(a) Prefabricated movable structures such as Butler-type storage warehouses, quonset huts, and housetrailers (with or without undercarriages) reported to GSA with the land on which they are located may, in the discretion of GSA, be designated for disposition as personal property for off-site use.

(b) Related personal property may, in the discretion of the disposal agency, be designated for disposition as personal property. Consideration of such designation shall be given particularly to items having possible historic or artistic value to ensure that Federal agencies, including the Smithsonian Institution (see § 101-43.302), are afforded the opportunity of obtaining them through personal property channels for off-site use for preservation and display. Fixtures such as murals and fixed sculpture which have exceptional historical or artistic value may be designated for disposition by severance for off-site use. In making such designations, consideration shall be given to such factors as whether the severance can be accomplished without seriously affecting the value of the realty and whether a ready disposition can be made of the severed fixtures.

(c) When a structure is to be demolished, any fixtures or related personal property therein may, at the discretion of the disposal agency, be designated for disposition as personal property where a ready disposition can be made of these items through such action. As indicated in paragraph (b) of this section, particular consideration should be given to designating items of possible historical or artistic value as personal property in such instances.
