BOP Program Statement 8562.01 § 9

managers are responsible for monitoring the property under their

control to assure maximum use and the prompt disposition of items

which become obsolete or excess to the needs of that location.

Whenever there is sufficient evidence that any Building and

Improvement, Machinery and Equipment, RM&S, Work in Process or

Finished Goods have become idle (not in use) and need no longer

be retained, the AW(I&E)/SOI is to appoint a Board of Survey to

physically inspect such property and recommend whatever action is

considered to be in the best interest of the Government.
