SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    In January of 1998, the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget signed a determination letter transferring all GSA reproduction 
facilities to the Defense Automated Printing Service (DAPS), DOD, 
thereby transferring the GSA mission of providing reproduction services 
for all agencies. As a result of this transfer and

further review by GSA's Office of Legal Counsel, GSA has concluded that 
coverage in the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) 
addressing centralized field duplicating services made available by GSA 
in Federal buildings should be deleted. Therefore, the contents of FPMR 
101-5.2 (41 CFR 101-5.2), Centralized Field Reproduction Services, is 
being removed and reserved. If, in the future, GSA issues regulations 
regarding centralized field reproduction services, they will be issued 
in the Federal Management Regulation (FMR). The FMR replaces the FPMR 
and is written in plain language to provide agencies with updated 
regulatory material that is easy to read and understand.

B. Executive Order 12866

    GSA has determined that this final rule is not a significant rule 
for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 dated September 30, 1993.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    A Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not required under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because there is no 
requirement that this final rule be published in the Federal Register 
for notice and comment.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this final rule 
does not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements, 
or the collection of information from offerors, contractors, or members 
of the public which require the approval of the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    This final rule is exempt from Congressional review prescribed 
under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and 
personnel.
