handle is hein.gao/gaobabevf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE CT ROL LER GENERAL Report To The Congress F' THE UNIT D STATES GAO's Third Biennial Report On The Transfer Of Excess And Surplus Federal Personal Property To Nonfederal Organizations Public Law 94-519, effective in 1977, established, under the direction of GSA, a single system to distribute excess and surplus federal personal property to eligible nonfe- deral organizations. Property is excess when it is not needed by the possessing federal agency. Excess property becomes surplus if it is not needed by any federal agency. The Congress believed it would be more equitable if nonfederal organizations mainly received personal pro- perty as surplus through the donation program. Also, the law requires federal agencies to report annually to GSA all personal property furnished to nonfederal organizations in any manner whatsoever. GAO found that the law is accomplishing the objectives of reducing transfers to nonfederal organizations of excess personal property that might be needed within the federal government and encouraging the fair and equitable dona- tion of surplus personal propertyto a wider range of eligible nonfederal organizations. But, GAO found that several federal agencies believed that certain categories of per- sonal property and types of recipients were not to be reported to GSA. Thus, GAO recommends that GSA clarify the types of information on federal personal property that are to be reported. \rS qD S t 2. GAO/GGD-85-3 -NOVEMBER 9. 1984
