Background

    GSA Bulletin FMR C-2023-01 revokes U.S. General Services 
Administration (GSA) Bulletin FMR B-52 (B-52) in its entirety but 
retains previous clarifications from B-52 of certain other terms and 
concepts in part 102-83 of the Federal Management Regulation (FMR), 
``Location of Space,'' to reflect current laws, executive orders (E.O.) 
and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) bulletins and management 
procedure memoranda. This bulletin brings federal location policy into 
compliance with current governing authorities, including E.O. 14091 of 
February 16, 2023, ``Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for 
Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.''
    Among other things, E.O. 14091 revoked E.O. 13946 of August 24, 
2020, ``Targeting Opportunity Zones and Other Distressed Communities 
for Federal Site Locations,'' including the amendments it made to E.O. 
12072 and E.O. 13006. In accordance with E.O. 14091, GSA is hereby 
revoking B-52 to remove all previous references to ``Opportunity 
Zones,'' ``other distressed areas,'' and other terms referenced in E.O. 
13946.
