Federal Management Regulation (FMR); FMR Case 2012-102-4, Disposal and Reporting of Federal Electronic Assets (FEA) 4 actions from March 6th, 2014 to February 2015
Mail: General Services Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), ATTN: Hada Flowers, 1800 F Street NW., Washington, DC 20405. Instructions: Please submit comments only and cite FMR Case 2012-102-4 in all correspondence related to this case. All comments received will be posted without change to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal and/or confidential business information provided.
At this time, GSA has identified two electronics recycling standards to which recyclers may conform to in order to be considered a “certified recycler” under this proposed rule—the Responsible Recycling (R2) Standard (http://www.r2solutions.org/r2practices/r2-standard/) and the e-Stewards Standard (http://e-stewards.org/certification-overview/e-stewards-standard/). Recyclers that conform to either of these two standards would be considered a “certified recycler” under the proposed rule.
Additional information regarding reuse, recycling, and refurbishment is available at http://www.epa.gov/fec/publications.html#eol.
This proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. This proposed rule is also exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act per 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) because it applies to agency management, personnel, and public property. However, this proposed rule is being published to provide transparency in the promulgation of Federal policies.

§ 102-36.375 What assets are considered Federal Electronic Assets (FEA)?
Refer to the definition in § 102-36.40. The list of assets classified as FEA will be updated as appropriate through revisions to FMR Bulletin B-34.
§ 102-36.380 How do I dispose of my functional FEA?
When disposing of functional FEA, use every opportunity to re-use these assets to the fullest extent possible using the disposal codes in this part (§ 102-36.240) and following the sequence of the Federal disposal program listed below:
§ 102-36.385 How do I dispose of my non-functional FEA or other electronic assets eligible for disposal under the abandonment/destruction authority?
(b) Other electronic assets (non-FEA) disposed of under the abandonment/destruction authority (see §§ 102-36.305 thorough 102-36.330), should also be disposed of through a certified recycler using the methods in paragraph (a) of this section.
§ 102-36.390 If I use a certified recycler, am I still responsible for sanitizing my electronic assets?
§ 102-36.395 Is disposing of FEA in a landfill or through incineration acceptable?
§ 102-36.400 What steps must I take to guide recipients of functional FEA to environmentally-preferable disposal?
§ 102-36.405 How do I dispose of overseas excess FEA?
FEA located overseas and designated as foreign excess must follow § 102-36.440. However, any abandonment and destruction action should give preference to disposition through a certified recycler, when permissible under relevant foreign laws and regulations. All disposal actions for foreign excess must comply with the laws and environmental regulations of the host country.
§ 102-36.410 Are there reporting requirements for FEA?
Yes, you must submit an annual report on electronic assets given to non-Federal recipients, the Non-Federal Recipients Report, in accordance with § 102-36.300. This report captures disposal information regarding personal property provided or conveyed to non-Federal entities.
§ 102-36.415 How and when do I submit the report?
You must submit your annual report using the online reporting tool at https://gsa.inl.gov/property. The report should be submitted 45 days after the fiscal year for the fiscal year just concluded.
