39 CFR Part 233

 

Removal of Donation to a Charitable Organization From the 
Provisions for the Disposition of Forfeited Property

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: To be consistent with current statutory provisions for the 
disposition of forfeited property, this final rule amends Postal 
Service regulations by removing the provision that forfeited property 
may be donated to a charitable organization.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 14, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Postal Inspector-Attorney Frederick I. 
Rosenberg, (202) 268-5477.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Postal Service regulations concerning the 
disposition of forfeited property acquired by the Postal Inspection 
Service are published in title 39 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) as Sec. 233.7(i). It is necessary to amend the section to remove 
paragraph (1)(v), donation of forfeited property to a charitable 
organization, to make the section consistent with current statutory 
provisions that authorize methods for the disposition of forfeited 
property.
    Section 233.7(i)(1) is amended by: (1) adding ``or'' to paragraph 
(iv); (2) removing the text of paragraph (v); and (3) renumbering 
paragraph (vi) as paragraph (v).
