SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    GSA has the responsibility to provide guidance to agencies on 
property management accountability systems. This bulletin is the first 
document issued by GSA's Office of Travel, Transportation, and Asset 
Management which addresses only this subject. Further guidance on this 
topic in the form of bulletins or regulations is planned.
    Section 524 of Title 40 of the United States Code (40 U.S.C. 524) 
requires that executive agencies maintain adequate inventory controls 
and accountability systems for property under their control. Section 
121(b)(2) of 40 U.S.C. requires the Administrator of General Services 
to work with the Comptroller General and other executive agencies to 
develop accounting systems for Federal property. The term ``system'' 
includes information technology components as well as the non-automated 
processes and procedures used to account for Federal property.

B. Procedures

    Bulletins regarding the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) are 
located on the Internet at http://www.gsa.gov/bulletin as FMR
