Highlights

GAO conducted a followup review of an earlier report which concluded that replaced and excess personal property at Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve had not been reported to the General Services Administration (GSA) in a timely manner and had not been protected from damage and deterioration, as required by Federal regulations. In this report, GAO examined these problems to determine: (1) the amount of replaced and excess personal property at the Park; (2) whether these problems exist at other parks in Alaska; and (3) the reasons why the property was not handled properly.
