Each driver is required to surrender the completed documentation to the security officer at the security control point upon departure. Each vehicle is then subject to inspection prior to departure from the Center to check the contents of the respective vehicle against the information listed on the documentation authorizing removal of the property.

(2) In addition to the above, Municipal Waste, Recyclables, and Hazardous Materials must also be properly disposed of utilizing the appropriate containers and collection points for each type of scrap and residual material. Failure to adhere to the proper disposal of these materials or unauthorized use of municipal waste or recycling containers may result in the denial of Center access and possible civil or criminal prosecution for the offender.

(3) Property movement and disposal shall be coordinated through the Logistic and Technical Information Division’s (LTID) Supply and Equipment Management Officer/Property Disposal Officer in accordance with the requirements in NASA Policy Document (NPD) 4200.1, Equipment Management, NPD 4300.1, NASA Personal Property Disposal Policy, NPR 4200.1, NASA Equipment Management Procedural Requirements, and NPR 4300.1, NASA Personal Property Disposal.

(4) Questions concerning the proper removal and disposal of property, scrap, waste or other residual job materials should be forwarded to the NASA COR, or the GRC Supply and Equipment Management Officer (SEMO).
