(a)Prescribing Regulations.— With the approval of the President, the Secretary of the Treasury and the United States Postal Service jointly shall prescribe regulations governing the shipment of valuables by an executive department, independent establishment, agency, wholly owned Government corporation, officer, or employee of the Federal Government, with a view to minimizing the risk of loss and destruction of, and damage to, valuables in shipment.
(b)Compliance.— Each executive department, independent establishment, agency, wholly owned Government corporation, officer, and employee of the Government, and each person acting for, or at the direction of, the executive department, independent establishment, agency, wholly owned Government corporation, officer, or employee, must comply with the regulations when making any shipment of valuables.
(Pub. L. 107–217, Aug. 21, 2002, 116 Stat. 1280.)
In subsection (a), the words “As soon as practicable after July 8, 1937” are omitted as obsolete. The words “United States Postal Service” are substituted for “Postmaster General” in section 1 of the Government Losses in Shipment Act (ch. 444, 50 Stat. 479) because of section 4(a) of the Postal Reorganization Act (Public Law 91–375, 84 Stat. 773).
In subsection (b), the words “After the effective date of such regulations, which shall be not more than thirty days after their issuance” are omitted as obsolete.
