AnimalsFMR102-36 does not stipulate special handling requirements for most animals, so the traditional disposal process typically applies. However, optional methods exist for some species and may be exercised without GSA’s approval or involvement. 40 USC 1308 - Unfit Horses and Mules 41 CFR 102-36.365 - Canines 42 CFR 71 - Non-human primates

AnimalsHorses and Mules may be destroyed or put out to pasture , either on pastures belonging to the Government or those belonging to financially sound and reputable humane organizations whose facilities permit them to care for the horses and mules during the remainder of their natural lives, at no cost to the Government . Canines may be donated to an individual who has experience handling canines in the performance of those official duties FMR 102-36.365 Typical disposal process applies to nonhuman primates but transfer, donation, and sale documents must address appropriate uses of non-human primates per 42 CFR 71.53Scientific Research, Education, or Exhibition

Foreign Gifts

Can my Agency Keep Gifts? Yes , if your agency has gift retention authority. Gift becomes normal property – loses its identity as a gift. Otherwise, report to GSA on SF 120 . If no authority to keep, but agency wants gift, note on 120 your interest and submit SF 122 to GSA. FMR 102-36.405 thru 420

Can Employees Keep Foreign Gifts and Decorations? Yes , with employing agency approval if: Gift has minimal value ( $375 or less – but subject to change); Decorations for outstanding or unusually meritorious performance. If employing agency disapproves, gift becomes property of the U.S. Government and is reported as excess to GSA. Employees must report all gifts to agency within 60 days. FMR 102-42

What if Employee Wants to Keep a Gift Disapproved by Agency, or, above Minimal Value?If the Agency does not keep the gift for official purposes, Gift is reported to GSA. GSA will offer Gift to other Federal Agencies, National Archives has priority for requesting. If no Federal Agency wants the gift, the (non-GSA) employee can buy the gift for the appraised value.
