SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    GSA intended to make it clear that agencies are required to submit 
their payment documentation for a post payment audit through GSA's 
Transportation Audits Management System (TAMS) to comply with Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum, M-23-07. This OMB Memorandum 
reaffirms the Federal Government's overarching objective to shift 
towards electronic records. However, the initial publication failed to 
adequately articulate the reasons behind GSA's regulatory modification.

Correction

    In proposed rule FR Doc. 2024-0279, beginning on page 12296 in the 
issue of February 16, 2024, make the following correction. On page 
12297, in the first column, revise the first sentence of the last 
paragraph and add two additional sentences to read as follows:
    ``GSA Transportation Audits Division maintains a central repository 
of electronic transportation billing records for legal and auditing 
purposes. Therefore, to comply with the Office of Management and Budget 
Memorandum M-23-07, GSA now requires agencies to submit their payment 
documentation for a post payment audit via the Transportation Audits 
Management System (TAMS). Other documents that may need to be sent to 
GSA Transportation Audits Division will only be accepted electronically 
via email. * * * ''
