Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice of GSA Bulletin FMR B–
50, Foreign Gift and Decoration Minimal
Value.
AGENCY:
GSA, in consultation with the

the minimal value of foreign gift items
to reflect changes in the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) for the preceding 3-year
period, as specified under the law
concerning the Receipt and Disposition
of Foreign Gifts and Decorations. The
minimal value was last defined effective
January 1, 2017, and must be redefined
effective as of January 1, 2020.
This bulletin cancels FMR Bulletin B–
41, ‘‘Foreign Gift and Decoration
Minimal Value,’’ issued January 12,
2017, as this bulletin provides updated
information on the same topic.
DATES: Applicability Date: January 1,
2020.
This notice applies to foreign gifts and
decorations received on or after January
1, 2020.

SUMMARY:
Background
Foreign gifts and decorations above
the GSA-defined minimal value are
handled differently than lesser-valued
foreign gifts and decorations under the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7342 and FMR
§ 102–42.
Foreign gifts and decorations above
the minimal value become the property
of the Federal Government and must be
reported to GSA for disposal if not
immediately needed by the agency for
official purposes. Additionally, those
items initially retained by the agencies
for official use are reported to GSA upon
termination of official use.
The foreign gifts and decorations
minimal value was last redefined
effective January 1, 2017, at $390, and
therefore, must be redefined as of
January 1, 2020, to reflect the CPI
increase of 6.35 percent for the
preceding three years.

Jkt 250001
Pursuant to FMR § 102–42.10, the
approved revised minimal value will be
published in an FMR Bulletin posted on
OGP’s website (www.gsa.gov/
personalpropertypolicy).
Calculations using the consumer
prices over the past three years show
that the minimal value must increase
6.35 percent from its current $390,
which yields an amount of $414.77. As
in previous years, GSA is rounding the
amount to the nearest five dollar
increments.
Therefore, GSA is adjusting the new
minimal value to $415.00. Per FMR
§ 102–42.10, an agency may, by
regulation, specify a lower value than
this Government-wide value for its
agency employees.
