  20. Implementation of National Strategy FMR Bulletin issued February 29, 2012. Electronic version at www.gsa.gov/ewaste. FMR Regulation 102-36 drafted and GSA is obtaining comments. We expect to have the regulation published by the end of the FY. Major points are new policies and new reporting requirements.
  21. FMR Bulletin B-34 Introduces the term “Federal Electronic Asset” (FEA); defines covered categories. Encourages reuse within Federal government. Facilitates donations to state and local entities. Allows for sale of FUNCTIONAL electronics. Prohibits bulk sales of non-functional FEA
  22. FMR Bulletin B-34 (continued) Requires ultimate disposal to certified recyclers/ refurbishers. Prohibits landfilling and incineration. Encourages downstream recipients to dispose of FEA in a responsible manner. Changes the reporting requirements, deadlines, and dissemination of data.
  23. Changes to Reporting Data collected via automated reporting tool for annual reports (non-federal recipients). Pushing the envelope to have reports submitted by October 15 of each year. Reports are much more granular to determine disposition. Data to be published on data.gov for transparency.
