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.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

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.
