PROPERTY REGULATIONS
OF THE
U. S. Department of Agriculture
EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 1916
WASHINGTON
GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
1916
Aprin 29, 1916.
The honorable the S—EcRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.
Str: The Advisory Committee on Finance and Business
Methods submits a draft of Property Regulations for the
Department of Agriculture with the recommendation that
they be approved to take effect on July 1, 1916, superseding
all prior rules, regulations, orders, and memoranda relating
to the receiving, handling, and issuing, custody and re-
sponsibility, recording and accounting for the property of
the department. These regulations present an outline of
general principles to be followed by the bureaus, which
should be authorized to supplement them with such addi-
tional instructions, not in conflict therewith, as may be
necessary to carry the principles into effect. The regula-
tions have been prepared after a most careful study by the
committee of all existing property regulations in this de-
partment and such regulations as were obtainable from
other departments of the Government, of the laws upon
which such regulations are based, and of such suggestions
as were made by the various bureaus of the department.
It is believed that if the regulations are approved, pro-
mulgated, and properly administered, they will result in
more systematic methods, better safeguards, and greater
economy and efficiency in the receipt, custody, and dis-
position of Government property in the Department of
Agriculture.
Respectfully submitted.

Chairman.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
Washington, May 23, 1916.
Under the authority conferred upon the Secretary of
Agriculture by law, the following regulations are prescribed
to govern the methods of receiving, recording, caring for,
issuing, disposing of, and accounting for Government prop-
erty in the Department of Agriculture. These regulations
shall become and be effective on and after July 1, 1916,
and shall supersede all prior rules, regulations, orders, and
memoranda in conflict therewith.

tively, to mean:
(a) The Department: The United States Department
of Agriculture.
(b) The Secretary: The Secretary or the Acting Secre-
tary of Agriculture.
(c) Bureau: Any bureau, service, independent divi-
sion, independent office, or Independent committee, in-
cluding the library of the United States Department of
Agriculture, the office of the Solicitor, and the Office of
Farm Management. The remaining subdivisions of the
office of the Secretary, unless otherwise directed by the
Secretary from time to time, together will constitute a
separate independent office.
(dq) Chief of bureau: The administrative head of any
bureau, service, independent division, independent office,
or independent committee, or of the library of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
(e) Employee: Any officer or employee of the depart-
ment.
(f) Property clerk: Any employee authorized by the
chief of bureau to keep property records.
(g) Substation: Any field station or field party.

2. Acquisition of Property by the Department.—
Subject to the provisions of law, these regulations, and the
fiscal and administrative regulations of the department,
9
10 PROPERTY REGULATIONS.
property may be acquired (1) by purchase upon trequisi-
tion or contract or, in the field, under letters of authoriza-
tion; (2) by manufacture within the department; and (3)
by transfer or purchase from another department, or estab-
lishment of the Government. Each purchase or acquisi-
tion by manufacture within the department shall be
evidenced by a written requisition, contract, shop request,
or memorandum, approved by the chief of the bureau or
an employee duly authorized by the chief of the bureau
for which the article was purchased or manufactured.
Transfers or purchases from another department or Goy-
ernment establishment shall be evidenced by copies of
the transfer records approved by the Secretary. Imme-
diately upon the delivery to a bureau of an article which
has been acquired by purchase, manufacture, or transfer,
the fact that the article has been received shall be reported
to the property clerk who shall see that a record of the
article is made without delay on the property returns of
the bureau.
3. Receipt of Property in a Bureau.—In each bureau
an employee or employees shall be designated by the
chief of bureau to receive, receipt for, and take charge of
all newly acquired property which may be delivered to
the bureau.
4. Responsibility for Property.—Every employee
entrusted with property or supplies of the department will
be held strictly responsible for the use, care, preservation,
and disposition thereof, until relieved of such responsi-
bility in accordance with these regulations.
5. Classification.—The department property will be
grouped, according to the manner of its final disposition,
into two general classes, viz:
(1) Expendable property, comprising (a) supplies that
are destroyed or consumed by use, such as stationery and
fuel, (b) supphes that are soon worn out by use, such as
mops and brushes, and (c) all material or parts used in
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 1916. il
construction or repair work, such as bricks, nails, lumber,
and machine parts.
(2) Nonexpendable property, comprising (a) property of
a, permanent character, such as instruments and furniture,
and (b) articles that are worn out by use, but slowly, such
as shears and carpets.
(See Appendix B for list of expendable and nonexpend-
able property.)
6. Bureau Records.—Complete and accurate records
shall be kept by property clerks of all department prop-
erty in each bureau. The records of nonexpendable prop-
erty shall show with respect to each article in the bureau
and each article received by requisition or by field pur-
chase under letter of authorization, the number and cost,
and either where it is located or the name of the person in
whose possession it is. The records of expendable prop-
erty shall show the number and cost of articles received
and on hand in the storeroom and the number and cost
of articles issued to an official or employee. The records
of both expendable and nonexpendable property will be
supported by receipts of the employees to whom articles
have been issued.
7. Individual Accountability.—Each employee en-
trusted with any nonexpendable property shall be re-
quired to receipt, and, from time to time, account there-
for. Each employee entrusted with any expendable prop-
erty, when the chief of the bureau shall so direct, shall
likewise be required to receipt and, from time to time,
account therefor. Having receipted for an article an em-
ployee may be relieved of responsibility—(1) by delivery
of the article to the bureau property clerk and taking a
receipt therefor; (2) when authorized by the chief of the
bureau, by delivery of the article to another employee of
the bureau and taking his receipt therefor; (3) by present-
ing a certificate approved by the chief of the bureau, or
by an employee authorized by the chief of the bureau to
Ly PROPERTY REGULATIONS.
approve such certificates, that the article has been con-
sumed in use, lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed; (4) by
payment to the disbursing clerk or appropriate fiscal agent
of the value of the article at that time as determined by
the chief of the bureau or other employee designated by
him; (5) by sale or other disposition by a board of survey
(see paragraph 9 of these regulations); or (6) by abandon-
ment (see paragraph 12 of these regulations).
No receipt should be signed until the list of articles to
be receipted for has been verified and the articles have
been delivered to, or placed at the disposal of, the em-
ployee giving the receipt.
8. Property Lost, Stolen, Damaged, or De-
stroyed.—Whenever any property either expendable
or nonexpendable is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed,
the employee who had custody of the property at the time
will forward immediately to the chief of bureau, through
the employee against whom the property is charged on the
property records, a certificate showing (1) a list of the
articles, (2) the circumstances attending their loss, damage,
or destruction, (3) whether his fault or neglect or that of
any employee was involved, and (4) if the property was
lost or stolen, the action taken to recover the property.
When the value of the property exceeds $10 the certificate
shall be sworn to before an officer authorized by the admin-
istrative regulations to administer oaths of office.
If the certificate upon examination is found to be satis-
factory, the chief of bureau will authorize the dropping of
the property from the property records; otherwise, he will
take steps to recover the value of the property from the
employee responsible, and promptly transmit any moneys
which may be collected to the disbursing clerk, or appro-
priate fiscal agent, for deposit in the Treasury. If the
amount of the loss is considerable, and it appears that the
property may have been lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 1916. is
through the fault, neglect, or misconduct of an employee,
a board of survey may be appointed by the Secretary, upon
recommendation of the chief of bureau, to determine the
responsibility, and make recommendation to the Secretary
as to what action should be taken by the department in
the matter.
9. Sale or Other Disposition of Property in Gen-
eral.—Articles for which the department has no further
use and articles which have become unserviceable will be
submitted to a board of survey for sale or other disposition.
In Washington, such articles will be submitted to the de-
partment board of survey. For action concerning such
articles outside of Washington special boards of survey will
be appointed upon recommendation of the chief of bureau.
Recommendations for the appointment of special boards
of survey shall be supported by descriptions of the articles
to be disposed of, together with statements of the specific
reasons therefor.
When any board of survey has decided that articles shall
be sold, the sale will be advertised by notifying interested
parties by letter, circular, or poster. No expense will be
allowed for advertising in newspapers except by specific
written authority of the Secretary. When property has
been sold the board of survey will pay all expenses, take
receipts therefor, and remit the net proceeds by postal
money order, bank draft, or cash to the disbursing clerk
of the department or appropriate fiscal agent, to be de-
posited in the Treasury to the credit of miscellaneous
receipts. No department property shall be disposed of by
private sale unless the Secretary shall so direct.
It shall be the duty of each board of survey to see to the
destruction of all property which it has condemned and
ordered to be destroyed. Atleast one member of the board
shall be present when the property is destroyed, and when
proper destruction has been effected, shall make and sub-
mit to the Secretary a certificate to that effect.
14 PROPERTY REGULATIONS.
The transfer of property in the field from one branch of
a bureau to another shall be made only upon the approval
of the chief of bureau.
The transfer of property in the field from one bureau to
another shall be made only upon the approval of the
Secretary.
The sale of property 1n the field by one bureau to another
is prohibited. (See Administrative Regulations.)
10. Sale of Property Specifically Authorized by
Law; No Action by Board of Survey Required.—
Photo prints, lantern slides, index cards, maps, farm
products, pathological and zoological specimens, official
cotton standards, samples of pure sugars, naval stores,
microscopical specimens, animals and animal products,
and other articles, the sale of which is specifically author-
ized by law, need not be submitted to a board of survey.
11. Property at TInaccessible Points.—An_ em-
ployee, responsible for property which has become totally
unserviceable or worthless at a place where it would be
impracticable for a board of survey to pass upon it, must
refer the facts to the chief of bureau, who, if he is satisfied
with the report, may, with the prior approval of the
Secretary, authorize and direct the destruction of the
property and appropriate adjustment of the property
returns.
12. Abandonment, Sale, or Destruction by Chief
of Field Party.—Inexpensive camp equipment in pos-
session of field parties may be abandoned, sold, or de-
stroyed by the chief of party when it is impracticable
to return it for condemnation as herein prescribed. An
explicit statement of the date, cause, and location of an
abandonment or sale as herein provided for must be
forwarded immediately to the chief of bureau.
13. Conversion of Property to Personal Use.—li
any article of department property is converted to his own
U. 8. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 1916. 15
use by an employee of the department, the chief of bureau
will immediately take steps to recover the property or
its value from the employee. Any moneys which may
be so recovered shall be promptly transmitted to the dis-
bursing clerk, or appropriate fiscal agent, for deposit in
the Treasury to the credit of miscellaneous receipts. Pend-
ing such recovery, the chief of bureau should request the
disbursing clerk, or appropriate fiscal agent, to withhold
any moneys due or which may become due to the employee
involved, and should also report the circumstances of the
case to the Secretary for proper disciplinary or other
action.
14. Emprovements.—Excepting lands acquired for
forest reserves, all lands, buildings, telegraph lines, tele-
phone lines, cables, fences, and other improvements of a
permanent character constructed or purchased by the de-
partment shall be accounted for on property returns.
15. Storage.—Property issued to employees in charge
of field parties which is no longer needed and which can
not be advantageously returned to the property clerk may
be placed in storage, when authority therefor is obtained
in advance from the chief of bureau. Storage fees may
be paid in cash by the employee charged with the property
and the receipt of the storage company submitted with his
reimbursement account, or payment may be made to the
storage company on Form 5 voucher.
16. Property not to be Given as Payment for
Supplies.—Unless specifically authorized by law, no
property of the department shall be gtven or exchanged
for any supplies or work. (See paragraphs 61, 62, 63,
and 64 of these regulations.)
17. Unserviceable Property to be Reported.—
Every employee shall report periodically to the chief of his
bureau all articles of nonexpendable property for which
he is responsible, which have been broken, worn out, or
otherwise rendered unfit for further use, for such action as
16 PROPERTY REGULATIONS.
the chief of bureau may direct, in accordance with para-
eraphs 8 and 9 of these regulations.
18. Condemnation of Property having no Sale
Value.—Nonexpendable property worn out or damaged
beyond repair which has no sale value wul be retained

have become unserviceable, or for which the department
has no further use in their entireties, may, in the discretion
of boards of survey, be retained for use in repair, construc-
tion work, or for other departmental purposes. In such
case the articles will be dropped from the property re-
turns, and the parts shall be taken up as expendable
property on the records of the bureau to which they are
allotted by the board of survey.
22. Personal Possession of Condemned Prop-
erty.—No employee shall appropriate to his own use any
article of department property which has been ordered
destroyed.
23. Disposition of Property Ordered Destroyead.—
All articles ordered destroyed by a board of survey shall
be separated into two classes, viz, articles that can and
articles that can not be destroyed by burning. Prop-
erty of the former class shall be immediately burned in

that proper destruction has been effected.
24. Employees Who May Not Purchase Con-
demned Property.—Public property which has been
condemned and is offered for sale by authority of the de-
partment shall not be purchased, either directly or indi-

by one bureau to another is prohibited.
26. Transfers of Property from One Field Station
to Another.—Property shall not be transferred from one
field station to another in the same bureau without specific
authority from the chief of bureau, and when such authority
is obtained the property shall be invoiced and receipted
for. The chief of bureau, in his discretion, may direct
such transfers without action by a board of survey.
27. Bureau Property Inspection.—An inspection of
bureau property in Washington, D. C., may be made an-

81. Purchase from Government Employees Pro-
hibited.—No supplies or property for the use of the de-
partment shall be purchased from any of its employees

32. Exhibits at Expositions.—All property, either
expendable or nonexpendable, displayed at expositions,
fairs, and similar exhibitions, shall be accounted for in

authorized by law no material shall be shipped until the
management of the exposition, fair, or exhibition shall
have executed a satisfactory contract and bond to defray
expenses incident to the packing, shipping, installation,
repacking, and return to the department of the material.
No such bond shall be accepted until approved by the
Solicitor. Each bureau furnishing material for any such
exhibition shall turn it over to the special agent of exhibits
by invoice and take his receipt therefor. Upon the return
of the material, the special agent of exhibits shall be
accountable therefor until it has been delivered to, and
receipted for, by the bureau to which it belongs. Exhibit
material fabricated under the direction of the special
agent on exhibits shall be taken up by him on his property
inventory and accounted for under these regulations.

of bureau, and upon complhance with such restrictions as
he may impose, be loaned without requiring a contract
and bond and without reference to the special agent of
exhibits. (See Administrative Regulations.)

EXPENDABLE AND NONEXPENDABLE PROPERTY.
The following list of ‘‘Expendable” and ‘‘Nonexpend-
able” property divides the property of the department
into general classes and does not necessarily show the bureau
designation to be followed in taking it up on the returns.
The list shows articles which are known to be parts of
other articles and such parts will only be accounted for
separately when they are temporarily carried in stock.
The list also shows articles of glassware which occasionally
are used in the laboratories and when so used they will be
considered as “‘laboratory glassware” and therefore will
be expendable:
(a) Articles not exceeding 25 cents in value marked
with an asterisk will be considered as ‘‘Expendable,”’
and articles exceeding 25 cents in value marked with an
asterisk will be considered as ‘‘ Nonexpendable.”’
_(b) Articles marked ‘‘Expendable” may be made
“‘Nonexpendable” in special cases in the discretion oi
the chief of bureau.
(ce) Articles not specifically mentioned must be sub-
mitted to the Secretary for classification, unless such
articles are similar in character to those enumerated under
a general class, in which case they may be considered as
being included under the general class.
(d) Fixtures placed by the department in a private
building which has been rented will be accounted for as
““Nonexpendable,”’ and shall be removed when the build-
ing is vacated. Fixtures placed ina building owned by
the department may be considered as a part of the build-
ing and need not be accounted for separately.
(e) Materials and parts for construction purposes may
be considered as expended when applied to the work,
but the constructed article in its entirety, such as a tele-
graph line, building, fence, shed, or wall case, must be
accounted for when completed. Materials and parts for
repair purposes or to replace other parts will become a
part of the article repaired or to which it has been attached,
61
62 PROPERTY REGULATIONS.
such asa boiler, vehicle, telegraph line, fence, or electric
fan, and may be considered as expended when applied to
the work. When it is impracticable to obtain by pur-.
chase parts needed for the repair or improvement of other
articles or the creation of new articles, or when economy
of expenditure or efficiency of use will result, and the
necessary parts can be taken from articles on hand and no
longer needed for the purpose for which originally de-
signed, such articles on hand may be regarded as parts
and expendable under this paragraph. Entire articles
may be purchased and considered as parts and expendable
when immediately used in the same way. When in ex-
perimental or research work it becomes necessary to de-
stroy an article ordinarily carried as nonexpendable it may |
be considered expendable for the purpose of the investi--
gation in which it is used.
(f) All articles of platinum shall be carried as nonex-
pendable. Owing to its value, all platinum shall, so far
as practicable, be safeguarded, and shall be Scoot for.
by weight, size, or identification mark, and every transfer
from one official or employee to another shall be evidenced |
by areceipt, and any loss, damage, or consumption in use,
or other disposition of same, shall be recorded.
