Which statement about excessing assets in place is true?

• A. An agreement exists with DRMO granting permission
• B. A bank authorization is required
• C. A supervisor must approve all excesses
• D. No approval is required

Answer: (A)

Excessing assets in place relies on having a formal agreement with DRMO that grants permission to place the property into excess status while it remains on site. This agreement sets the authorization for declaring the item excess and transferring custody to DRMO for disposal or reuse through their channels, without needing immediate removal. It ensures proper accountability in DPAS, showing that the installation has the authority to designate the asset as excess and coordinate its disposition with DRMO. Without that DRMO agreement, there isn’t a valid, DPAS-approved path to excess in place, and the other options—bank authorization, blanket supervisor approval, or no approval—don’t align with the required DRMO-led disposal process.
