Sec. 102-42.20  What is the typical disposition process for gifts and 
decorations that employees are not authorized to retain?

    (a) Non-monetary gifts or decorations. When an employee receives a 
non-monetary gift above the minimal value or a decoration that he/she is 
not authorized to retain:
    (1) The employee must report the gift or decoration to his/her 
employing agency within 60 days after accepting it.
    (2) The employing agency determines if it will keep the gift or 
decoration for official use.
    (3) If it does not return the gift or decoration to the donor or 
keep it for official use, the employing agency reports it as excess 
personal property to GSA for Federal utilization screening under Sec. 
102-42.95.
    (4) If GSA does not transfer the gift or decoration during
    Federal utilization screening, the employee may purchase the gift or 
decoration (see Sec. 102-42.140).
    (5) If the employee declines to purchase the gift or decoration, and 
there is no Federal requirement for either, GSA may offer it for 
donation through State Agencies for Surplus Property (SASP) under part 
101-44 of this title.
    (6) If no SASP requests the gift or decoration for donation, GSA may 
offer it for public sale, with the approval of the Secretary of State, 
or will authorize the destruction of the gift or decoration under part 
101-45 of this title.
    (b) Monetary gifts. When an employee receives a monetary gift above
