Please cite Amendment 2006-04, FMR case 2006-102-5.
In the years since 41 CFR part 102-42 was published as a final rule, the references to other regulations which migrated from the Federal Property Start Printed Page 28778Management Regulations (FPMR) (41 CFR chapter 101) to the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) (41 CFR chapter 102) became outdated. Additionally, in the intervening years since this regulation was published, several agencies have moved or changed names. Finally, updating or clarifying revisions were made where the revisions are administrative or clerical in nature. This includes—
1. Clarified provisions regarding the handling of foreign gifts that are below the minimal value established by GSA, including a revised definition of “minimal value”; and
2. A revised provision for the handling of foreign gifts and decorations received by the Vice President.
Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c); 5 U.S.C. 7342.
2. Section 102-42.5 is revised to read as follows:
§ 102-42.5
This part covers the acceptance and disposition of gifts of more than minimal value and decorations from foreign governments under 5 U.S.C. 7342. If you receive gifts other than from a foreign government, you should refer to § 102-36.405 of this subchapter B.
3. Amend § 102-42.10 by revising the definition “Minimal value” to read as follows:
Minimal value means a retail value in the United States at the time of acceptance of $305 or less, except that GSA will adjust the definition of minimal value in regulations prescribed by the Administrator of General Services every three years, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to reflect changes in the consumer price index for the immediately preceding 3-year period.
§ 102-42.20
4. Amend § 102-42.20 in paragraph (a)(5) by removing “part 101-44 of this title” and adding “part 102-37 of this subchapter B” in its place; and by removing from paragraph (a)(6) “part 101-45 of this title” and adding “part 102-38 of this subchapter B” in its place.
5. Revise the heading and text of § 102-42.70 to read as follows:
§ 102-42.70
Who handles gifts and decorations received by the President or Vice President or a member of their family?
The National Archives and Records Administration normally handles gifts and decorations received by the President and Vice President or a member of the President's or Vice President's family.
§ 102-42.120
6. Amend § 102-42.120 by removing “part 101-44 of this title” and adding “part 102-37 of this subchapter B” in its place.
§ 102-42.140
7. Amend § 102-42.140 by removing “part 101-45 of this title” and adding “part 102-38 of this subchapter B” in its place.
§ 102-42.155
8. Amend § 102-42.155 by removing “part 101-45 of this title” and adding “part 102-38 of this subchapter B” in its place.
