Dickenson Director, National Park Service Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. 20240 119308 Dear Mr. Dickenson: Subject: Alaska Regional Office Needs To Improve Personal Property Management In May 1982 we visited Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve, where we noted that replaced and excess personal prop- erty had not been reported to the General Services Administration (GSA) in a timely manner and had not been protected from damage and deterioration, as required by Federal regulations. Poor admin- istrative practices at Denali and at the Park Service's Alaska regional office were the cause of these problems. We visited Denali as part of a followup on our review of health and safety standards in national parks and forests (Facilities in Many Na- tional Parks and Forests Do Not Meet Health and Safety Standards, CED-80-115, Oct. 10, 1980). We looked into these problems further to determine (1) the amount of replaced and excess personal property at the Denali Park, (2) whether the problem exists at other parks in Alaska, and (3) the reasons why the property was not handled properly. We inter- viewed regional office and Denali Park officials, reviewed regional office and park property records, and studied Federal regulations and Department of the Interior property management regulations. DELAYS IN REPORTING REPLACED AND EXCESS PERSONAL PROPERTY TO GSA Federal property management regulations (41 C.F.R. 101-43.101) require each executive agency to continuously survey property under its control to assure maximum use and to promptly make excess property available for transfer. Agencies must report promptly to GSA any excess personal property or property to be disposed of un- der the exchange/sale authority (41 C.F.R. 101-43.311-1, 41 C.F.R 101-4.4, 41 C.F.R. 114-46.4). Pending disposal, each agency is responsible for the care and handling of the personal property (41 C.F.R. 101-45.104).
