Good Afternoon,
Attached please find the revised and required Signature Authorization Form. This form
currently exists with the current OSP policy; however, the recent RMAS findings identified
an inconsistent treatment of this form across FAS.
RMAS recommendations and our agreed-to actions were to do several things:
1) Communicate this form to you, as I did today at RAS Friday, as well as through
this email, by November 18, 2011.
2) I ask that you ensure that this revised form is filled out for the appropriate
individuals who handle disposals, transfers, sales relocations, and physical inventories.
3) As a new and agreed to action, we are required to track and keep copies here in
RAS; please return this form to me no later than December 15th for all current
employees.
4) This form is going to be available on our Website as well as on the new OSP
website.
Here is a link to the form on the new OSP website:

Should you have any questions concerning this form, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
Kara
