SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background

    Section 521 of Title 40 of the United States Code ( 40 U.S.C. 521) 
and General Services Administration (GSA) policies require the maximum 
use of excess property by executive agencies, and provide for the 
transfer of excess property to other Federal agencies and eligible 
recipients. In addition, section 524 of Title 40 United States Code (40 
U.S.C. 524) and Federal Management Regulation (FMR) section 102-36.45 
(41 CFR 102-36.45) require that the agencies perform care and handling 
of excess property. Maintaining the utility of property protects the 
Government's investment in that property and saves Federal agencies and 
taxpayers valuable resources by avoiding the need to acquire new 
property.
    This notice announces GSA Bulletin FMR B-17 which provides guidance 
to Federal agencies to maximize the use and benefits of property 
throughout the asset management lifecycle and to explain how those 
benefits are extended to the public.
