FEDERAL MANAGEMENT REGULATION

Amendment2006-04

TO: Heads of Federal agencies

SUBJECT: FMR Case 2006-102-5; Utilization, Donation, and

Disposal of Foreign Gifts and Decorations

1.Purpose. This document includes pages that reflect amendments to Part 102-42 of the Federal Management Regulation

(FMR). This rule was published in the Federal Register at 71 FR

28777, May 18, 2006.

2.Background. In the years since 41 CFR part 102-42 was published as a final rule, the references to other regulations which migrated from the Federal Property Management Regulations

(FPMR) (41 CFR chapter 101) to the Federal Management Regulation

(FMR) (41 CFR chapter 102) became outdated. Additionally, in the intervening years since this regulation was published, several agencies have moved or changed names. Finally, updating or clarifying revisions were made where the revisions are administrative or clerical in nature. This includes—

1. Clarified provisions regarding the handling of foreign gifts that are below the minimal value established by GSA, including a revised definition of “minimal value”; and

2. A revised provision for the handling of foreign gifts and decorations received by the Vice President.

3.Effective date. June 19, 2006.

4.Explanation of changes. The General Services Administration is amending the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) language that pertains to personal property by correcting references to

outdated or superseded provisions of law or regulation; correcting text to be in conformance with revised laws, regulation, or Federal agency responsibilities; and clarifying

text where the intended meaning could be updated or made clearer. The FMR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSA’s Web site at .

5.Filing instructions. Make the following page changes: Remove FMR pages: Insert FMR pages:
