§702 Return of Foreign Excess Property to United States

Summary

Foreign excess property can be sent back to the United States to be treated as excess or surplus property under subchapter II of chapter 5, or under section 549 or 551, when the head of the executive agency or the Administrator of General Services (after talking with the agency head) decides it is in the United States’ interest. The Administrator must make rules for this, and those rules must say that the federal agency, state agency, or donee receiving the property must pay the transportation costs to return it.
