The Personal Property Accounting System provides EPA's property accountable areas with standard methods of submitting property accounting transactions via batch or tele-typewriter terminals to a central system. It also furnishes a more efficient means of updating the master file, thus enhancing the quality and timeliness of the reporting cycle. This document describes the system and gives a background for systems maintenance. It also provides instructions for operating the system. Management, audit and other personnel are provided reference documentation to insure compliance with Sec. 202, the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949.
