A donation under this paragraph— “(A) shall be at no cost to the Government; and “(B) may be made only if the used equipment has no recoverable value because disposal in accordance with paragraph (1), under the most favorable terms available to the Government, would result in a loss to the Government. “(3) The Committee on House Administration of the House of Representatives shall have authority to prescribe regulations to carry out this subsection. “(4) As used in this section— “(A) the term ‘State’ means a State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and a territory or possession of the United States; and “(B) the term ‘used equipment’ means such used or surplus equipment (including furniture and motor vehicles) as the Committee on House Administration of the House of Representatives may prescribe by regulation.”.

(c) The amendments made by subsection (a) and the repeal made by subsection (b) shall take effect on October 1, 1989.
