Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 2023 / Rules and Regulations PART 102–39—REPLACEMENT OF PERSONAL PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE/SALE AUTHORITY 1. The authority citation for 41 CFR part 102–39 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c); 40 U.S.C. 503. 2. Amend § 102–39.20 in the definition ‘‘Similar’’ by revising paragraph (4) and adding a note to read as follows: ■ § 102–39.20 part? What definitions apply to this * * * * * Similar * * * (4) Are designed or constructed for the same general purpose (includes any and all forms of property regardless of the FSC Group to which they are assigned). Note 1 to the definition of ‘‘similar’’: Only one of the criteria in this definition needs to be met for the property to be considered ‘‘similar’’ for an exchange/sale transaction. * * * * * ■ 3. Amend § 102–39.25 by revising the first sentence to read as follows: § 102–39.25 Which exchange/sale provisions are subject to deviation? All of the provisions in this part are subject to deviation (upon presentation of adequate justification) except for those mandated by statute, as described in note 1 to § 102–39.60(a) and § 102– 39.80. * * * ■ 4. Revise § 102–39.40 to read as follows: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 § 102–39.40 How does the exchange/sale authority differ from the disposal process for excess/surplus personal property? (a) The primary difference is that sales proceeds or exchange allowances may be used to acquire similar replacement personal property that is still needed under the exchange/sale authority as described in this part; whereas under the more frequently used excess/surplus disposal process, you would not be able to use sales proceeds or exchange allowances to acquire replacement personal property. (b) Your use of the exchange/sale authority is optional and should be considered when needed replacement assets may be acquired under the provisions of this part. If exchange/sale is not practicable (for example, if conducting an exchange/sale transaction is not cost effective), you should dispose of the property through the excess/ surplus disposal process by reporting the property as excess, as addressed in part 102–36 of this chapter. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:18 Apr 26, 2023 Jkt 259001 (c) In the excess/surplus disposal process, any net proceeds from the sale of surplus property generally must be forwarded to the miscellaneous receipts account at the United States Treasury, and thus would not be available to you for use in acquiring similar replacement property or for any other purpose. You may use the exchange/sale authority in the acquisition of personal property even if the acquisition is under a services contract, as long as the property acquired under the services contract is similar to the property exchanged or sold (e.g., for a service life extension program (SLEP), exchange allowances or sales proceeds would be available for replacement of similar items, but not for services). ■ 5. Amend § 102–39.60 by revising paragraph (a) to read as follows: § 102–39.60 What restrictions and prohibitions apply to the exchange/sale of personal property? * * * * * (a) The following FSC Groups of personal property: (1) 10 Weapons. (2) 11 Nuclear ordinance. (3) 44 Furnace, Steam Plant, and Drying Equipment; and Nuclear Reactors (FSC Class 4470, Nuclear Reactors only). (4) 68 Chemical and chemical products. (5) 84 Clothing, individual equipment, and insignia. Note 1 to paragraph (a): Under no circumstances will deviations be granted for FSC Class 1005, Guns through 30mm. Deviations are not required for Department of Defense (DoD) property in FSC Groups 10 (for classes other than FSC Class 1005), or any other FSC Group, for which the applicable DoD demilitarization requirements, and any other applicable regulations and statutes are met. * * * * * ■ 6. Amend § 102–39.65 by: ■ a. Removing ‘‘and’’ from the end of paragraph (d); ■ b. Redesignating paragraph (e) as paragraph (f); and ■ c. Adding new paragraph (e). The addition reads as follows: § 102–39.65 What conditions apply to the exchange/sale of personal property? * * * * * (e) Your agency documents at the time of exchange or sale (or at the time of acquiring the replacement property if acquisition precedes the exchange or sale) that the exchange allowance or sale proceeds will be applied to the PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 25511 acquisition of replacement property; and * * * * * ■ 7. Amend § 102–39.80 by adding a sentence at the end to read as follows: § 102–39.80 What are the accounting requirements for exchange allowances or proceeds of sale? * * * Under no circumstances will deviations be granted for this section. ■ 8. Revise § 102–39.85 to read as follows: § 102–39.85 What information am I required to report? You must submit, within 90 calendar days after the close of each fiscal year (FY), an exchange/sale report using the online Personal Property Reporting Tool template found at https://www.property. reporting.gov. This template provides the specific information needed for your agency’s report. You can contact the GSA Help Desk at help.PPRT@gsa.gov if you need assistance accessing the online reporting tool. All reports, including negative reports, must be submitted electronically through the Personal Property Reporting Tool. Transactions involving books and periodicals in your libraries need not be reported. ■ 9. Add § 102–39.90 to read as follows: § 102–39.90 Where do I obtain additional information? Additional information is provided at the GSA websites www.gsa.gov/bulletin and www.gsa.gov/exchangesale.
