Sec. 101-45.001  Demilitarization and decontamination.



    (a) Dangerous material shall not be disposed of pursuant to part 

102-38 of the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) without first being 

demilitarized or decontaminated when a duly authorized official of the 

executive agency concerned determines this action to be in the interest 

of public health, safety, or security. This may include rendering the 

property innocuous, stripping from it any confidential or secret 

characteristics, or otherwise making it unfit for further use.

    (b) Demilitarization or decontamination of property to be donated to 

public bodies pursuant to part 102-37 of the FMR shall be accomplished 

in a manner so as to preserve so far as possible any civilian utility or 

commercial value of the property.

    (c) Except for those sales otherwise authorized by part 101-42 of 

the Federal Property Management Regulations or other statutes, and for 

specialized sales authorized by the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Munitions 

List items identified as requiring demilitarization shall not be 

reported for public sale without first being demilitarized or requiring 

demilitarization to be a part of the terms and conditions of sale. The 

General Services Administration may refer technical questions on 

demilitarization to the Department of Defense for advice.
