Amendment of Miscellaneous FIRMR Provisions

AGENCY: Information Technology Service, GSA.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document proposes to amend various Federal Information 
Resources Management Regulation (FIRMR) provisions with regard to 
updating the references to GSA offices and symbols to reflect 
reorganizations within GSA.

DATES: Comments will be considered in the final rule, but must be 
received on or before November 28, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to GSA/KAR, 18th & F Streets, NW, 
Room 3224, Washington, DC 20405, Attn: Doris Farmer or delivered to 
that address between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Doris Farmer, telephone FTS/Commercial (202) 501-0960 (v), Internet 
([email protected]) or (202) 501-0657 (tdd).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: (1) Various sections of the FIRMR are being 
amended to update GSA offices and symbols. These changes result from 
several reorganizations within GSA.
    (2) GSA has determined that this rule is not a significant 
regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 of October 
4, 1993, because it is not likely to result in any of the impacts noted 
in Executive order 12866, affect the rights of specified individuals, 
or raise issues arising from the policies of the Administration. GSA 
has based all administrative decisions underlying this rule on adequate 
information concerning the need for and consequences of this rule; has 
determined that the potential benefits to society from this rule 
outweigh the potential costs and has maximized the net benefits and has 
chosen the alternative approach involving the least net cost to 
society.
    (3) The recordkeeping provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act do 
not apply because the FIRMR changes do not impose information 
collection requirements or collection of information from offerors, 
contractors, or members of the public which require the approval of OMB 
under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
