41CFR101-42.1101;

Contain Hazardous Materials.

41CFR101-42.1101(b);

[NOTE: To facilitate identification of hazardous materials or

complete list of FSC classes composed predominantly of

hazardous items and Table B-2 contains a selective listing of FSC

The holding DOE organization may donate surplus chemicals, which would otherwise be abandoned or destroyed,

directly to public bodies, without going through the GSA, in accordance with Subpart H of DOE-PMR (41CFR109)

and Subpart H of FPMR (41CFR101). As there is no special form to process donations, the holding agency may use

any document that has an audit trail to record the transaction. [41CFR102-37.35(c); 41CFR102-37.575]
