Legal Authority:  40 USC 476; 42 USC 2000d-1; 20 USC 1681

CFR Citation:  41 CFR 101-6.2

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The General Services Administration proposes this regulation 
to implement all of the above cited Federal laws. These statutes 
prohibit discrimination, in whole or in part, so that no person in the 
United States shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, or 
sex be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be 
subject to discrimination under any program activity receiving Federal 
assistance from the General Services Administration. In addition, the 
objectives of the regulation are to streamline certain administrative 
procedural requirements by consolidating prohibitions of discrimination 
into one regulation and to make requirements clear and convenient for 
applicants and recipients to comply with, as well as making the 
regulation manageable for GSA to administer.

Abstract: GSA proposes to revise and reissue chapter 5, 48 CFR, in its 
entirety. The reissuance will represent the culmination of the Total 
Quality Management project to review GSA's acquisition regulation/
directive system.

Statement of Need: GSA plans to publish a proposal to revise the entire 
GSAR. The proposal will redefine the objectives of the procurement 
system and its regulatory base, establish very narrow standards for the 
scope and nature of the regulation, eliminate provisions that impede 
productivity or unnecessarily increase administrative costs, reduce 
rigid rules in favor of guiding principles, delegate authority and 
accountability to the lowest level consistent with competency, and 
reduce the overall volume of the regulation by at least 50 percent. 
After consideration of public comments, the entire regulation will be 
issued in final form.

Alternatives: Alternatives considered include an approach which would 
continue to include nonregulatory internal guidance in the GSAR rather 
than putting the internal guidance in a separate internal directive to 
be distributed to contracting personnel within the agency.

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: Issuance of the final regulation will 
facilitate GSA's ability to operate in a competitive environment by 
enabling GSA contracting offices to deliver services in a more timely, 
efficient, and cost-effective manner. A specific dollar savings cannot 
be calculated.

process.

4032. REMOVAL OF FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULE ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

Priority:  Regulatory Plan

Legal Authority:  40 USC 486(c)

CFR Citation:  41 CFR 101-26

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Amend the Federal Property Management Regulations to remove 
Federal Supply Schedule ordering instructions. These instructions will 
be restated in the form of nonregulatory guiding principles. Similar 
action is being taken on the Federal Information Resources Management 
Regulation. When combined, these actions will result in a uniform set 
of flexible guiding principles that empower Federal agencies to make 
``best value'' purchasing decisions in a demonopolized environment. 
These actions are consistent with the National Performance Review and 
are part of GSA's larger plans to create a Government that works better 
and costs less.

Statement of Need: Over time, the Federal Supply Schedule ordering 
instructions in the FPMR have become obsolete. Hence, it is no longer 
necessary to retain them.

Summary of the Legal Basis: The legal authority for this change is 40 
USC 486(c). This proposed change is not required by law.

Alternatives: This proposed change was published in the Federal 
Register for comment. The following alternatives were suggested:
Keep regulations; eliminate redundancy.
Remove regulations, but insert a strong endorsement of the Multiple 
Award Schedule Program.

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: This proposed change will carry out the 
principles of the National Performance Review by unburdening all 
Federal agencies from unnecessary regulations. A specific dollar 
savings cannot be calculated.

frequent flyer mileage may be used to upgrade to first-class 
transportation accommodations. The estimated annual economic impact of 
this amendment on all Federal agencies has not been determined to date.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Federal Property Management Regulation Temporary Regulation 
D-76, Part 101-17, Assignment and Utilization [[Page 24062]] of Space, 
was published in August 1991. It is intended that this regulation will 
become permanent. Its purpose is to improve space delivery process for 
Federal agencies by making the process more efficient, more timely, and 
better able to deliver quality space that supports agency mission 
needs. The regulation does the following: implements a new space 
assignment process that emphasizes client service; establishes a new 
comprehensive move policy that clarifies roles and responsibilities; 
revises the GSA location policy to be more responsive to agency mission 
needs; revises the standard alterations which agencies receive upon an 
initial move, to recognize modern office needs; and revises the space 
classification definitions to eliminate ambiguity. These changes will 
result in a more efficient space delivery process and improve the 
overall efficiency of Government operations. The intention is to extend 
Temporary Regulation D-76 until such time as the Final Rule, which will 
supersede it, is approved for publication.

4046. SMOKING

Legal Authority:  40 USC 486(c), sec 205(c), 63 Stat 390

CFR Citation:  41 CFR 101-20.105-3

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Passive environmental tobacco smoke has been classified as a 
Class A human carcinogen by EPA. Current FPMRs ban smoking in GSA-
controlled buildings, except in designated smoking areas determined by 
the occupant agency head. In view of EPA's classification of passive 
smoke as a carcinogen, legislation has been introduced in the Congress 
to ban smoking in Federal buildings and an Executive order is being 
considered to also ban smoking in the executive branch. Upon enactment 
of legislation or issuance of an Executive order, GSA will revise 
current policy to address the EPA findings.
There should be no costs associated with the implementation of a 
proposed rule other than the posting of new signs prohibiting smoking.

4065.  FEDERAL TRAVEL REGULATION (FTR) AMENDMENT 42, 
PRIVATELY-OWNED VEHICLE MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT

Legal Authority:  5 USC 5701 to 5709; 31 USC 1353; 40 USC 486(c); EO 
11609, 36 FR 13747, 3 CFR 1971 to l975 Comp, p 586

CFR Citation:  41 CFR 301-4; 41 CFR 302-2

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This amendment implements provisions of the Treasury, Postal 
Service, and General Government Appropriations Act for FY 1995 (PL 103-
329, September 30, 1994). The Act eliminates fixed statutory ceilings 
on mileage reimbursement rates for advantageous use of a privately 
owned vehicle (POV) on official business travel, and allows the 
Administrator of General Services to establish rates 
[[Page 24065]] based on cost investigations. This amendment establishes 
a mileage reimbursement rate of 30 cents per mile for use of a 
privately owned automobile, 88.5 cents per mile for use of a privately 
owned airplane, and 24.5 cents per mile for use of a privately owned 
motorcycle. The amendment also raises the two-tiered mileage 
reimbursement rate for use of a POV when use of a Government-furnished 
vehicle is more advantageous from 19 and 9.5 cents per mile to 23.5 and 
10.5 cents per mile respectively. The estimated annual economic impact 
of this amendment on all Federal agencies is $88.2 million.
