What paperwork is necessary to remove DOC property from the buildings?
Federal agencies must control all accountable personal property by keeping records to show an audit trail or chain of custody. The Department’s Personal Property Management Manual mandates the use of Optional Form 7, Property Pass, a temporary authorization for an individual to remove property from a Government-occupied building for mission purposes. All Bureau Property Management Officers (PMO) shall submit a memorandum and Commerce Department (CD) Form XX to the Office of Security, designating Authorizing Officials to issue and sign the OF-7, which authorizes the removal of Government property from Federal buildings. This memorandum should be updated on an as needed basis by the Bureau PMO. CD Form XX will serve as a supplement to the memorandum submitted by the Bureau PMO and include the names of the Authorizing Officials. Designees authorized to issue and sign the OF-7 may include the following: Bureau PMO, Bureau Property Accountability Officers, and Bureau Property Custodians. Ad
