GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

41 CFR Part 102-37

[FMR Amendment B-2]
RIN 3090-AH74


Federal Management Regulation; Notification of Allocation of 
Surplus Personal Property for Donation

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide Policy, General Services 
Administration (GSA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the 
Federal Management Regulation (FMR) to clarify the period of time GSA 
normally requires to allocate surplus personal property for donation. 
This final rule will allow holding agencies to move property to sale if 
they have not received notification of allocation by day 6 after the 
surplus release date.

DATES: Effective Date: December 26, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Holcombe, Director, 
Personal Property Management Policy Division (MTP), General Services 
Administration, at (202) 501-3828. For information pertaining to status 
or publication schedules, contact the Regulatory Secretariat, Room 
4035, GS Building, Washington DC, 20405, (202) 501-4755. Please cite 
FMR Amendment B-2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Executive Order 12866

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

B. 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.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to 
the FMR do not impose information collection requirements that require 
the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 
3501, et seq.

D. 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.
