(A)or
(B)is not practicable. For equipment reported under paragraph (1)(C), the Administrator of General Services shall manage the equipment in accordance with subchapters II and III of chapter 5 of subtitle I of title 40, United States Code. Equipment transferred under section 11(i) of the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 ( 15 U.S.C. 3710(i) ) is neither transferred pursuant to this Act nor subject to the requirements of this Act. The head of each Federal agency shall report to the Administrator of General Services the availability of useful Federal electronic equipment as far as possible in advance of the date the equipment is expected to become excess to the needs of the Federal agency, so that the Administrator may attempt to arrange for the direct transfer from the donating agency to educational recipients. In transferring any equipment pursuant to this Act, at the request of the educational recipient and if appropriate, if the equipment is not classroom-usable, the head of the transferring agency shall convey the equipment initially to a nonprofit refurbisher for upgrade before transfer to the educational recipient. In transferring any equipment pursuant to this Act, the head of the transferring agency shall remove data from the equipment prior to transfer to the educational recipient according to accepted sanitization procedures. To the maximum extent practicable, the head of the transferring agency shall remove data using a means that does not remove, disable, destroy, or otherwise render unusable the equipment or components. In transferring any equipment pursuant to this Act, the head of the transferring agency shall give the highest preference to educational recipients located in a persistent poverty county, a qualified opportunity zone, an enterprise community, a qualifying small town, or a qualifying county. Any transfer made pursuant to this Act shall be made at the lowest cost to the educational recipient permitted by law. Title of ownership of equipment transferred pursuant to this Act shall transfer to the educational recipient receiving the equipment. The Administrator of General Services shall provide notice of the anticipated availability of useful Federal electronic equipment to educational recipients by all practicable means, including newspapers, community announcements, and the internet. The regional Federal Executive Boards (as that term is used in part 960 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations) shall help facilitate the transfer of useful Federal electronic equipment from the agencies they represent to educational recipients under this Act.
