Abstract: This rulemaking updates GSAR clause 552.270-4, Historic 
Preference, that is used in the acquisition of leasehold interests. 
E.O. 13006 requires that Federal agencies give first consideration to 
historic properties within historic districts. If no such property is 
suitable, then Federal agencies shall consider other developed or 
undeveloped sites within historic districts. Federal agencies shall 
then consider historic properties outside of historic districts, if no 
suitable site within a district exists. As a result of the requirements 
of the E.O., 552.270-4 will be revised to establish the order of 
precedence.

Abstract: Final Rule FMR parts 102-71 to 102-82 was published in the 
Federal Register on January 18, 2001, and was effective on January 18, 
2001. The completion of that regulatory action initiates the start of a 
new initiative entitled ``Real Property Policies Update.'' The goal of 
this new initiative is to amend FMR parts 102-71 to 102-82 to complete 
the transfer of policy from the FPMR to the FMR and to update policies, 
such as location of space policy, historic preservation/E.O. 13006 
policy, and security policy. This regulatory action will also create a 
separate part, FMR part 102-83, to deal specifically with the updated 
location of space policy.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This final rule updates, streamlines, and clarifies Federal 
Management Regulations (FPMR) part 101-37 and moves the part into the 
Federal Management Regulation (FMR). The rule is written in a plain 
language, question and answer format. As the FPMR part 101-37 was 
amended a number of times over the years, its organization became a 
patchwork of rules on various subjects. In the new FMR part 102-33, GSA 
has reorganized and streamlined the content to address the life-cycle 
of aircraft management, from acquisition through disposal, and to 
accommodate revised reporting. Despite the major changes from FPMR part 
101-37 described above, the overall purpose of the part is unchanged: 
To provide guidance and assistance to executive agencies on minimizing 
costs and improving the management and use of Government aviation 
resources (following direction to the Administrator of General Services 
found in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-126 
``Improving the Management and Use of Government Aircraft,'' revised 
May 22, 1992).

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

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

CFR Citation: 41 CFR 102-34

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: An amendment to FMR 102-34 has been drafted to incorporate 
recent changes in the program. The significant changes proposed are:
1. The Fleet Average Fuel Economy Standards for FY 2000 and beyond is 
20.7 miles per gallon for light trucks.
2. Motor vehicle identification requirements have been changed. All 
required identifiers are now to be included on the license plate: ``For 
Official Use Only,'' ``U.S. Government,'' and Federal agency or bureau 
identification. Previously, the identifiers were on decals that were 
placed on the vehicles. A waiver is currently allowing agencies to 
deviate from the decal requirement.
3. UNICOR is the mandatory supplier of official U. S. Government 
license plates. Lorton Prison in Virginia was the supplier for a number 
of years but recently closed. The GSA Federal Vehicle Policy Division 
(MTV) initiated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UNICIOR to 
provide license plates to all Federal agencies.
4. Agencies are identified by a letter code on the license plate. For 
example, the letter G designates GSA Fleet. The International 
Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) and the Presidio Trust (PT) requested 
identifiers that were issued last year.
5. The exemption from displaying U.S. Government license plates and 
other motor vehicle identification currently did not allow agencies to 
request this on administrative vehicles that were not directly 
connected to investigative, law enforcement, or intelligence duties. 
Our office issued a wavier to this after the events of 9/11/01 at the 
request of the agencies. This note has been removed to allow agencies 
to request an exemption on all their vehicles.
6. Addition of a clause that agencies are required to purchase EPA-
designated content products such as re-refined engine oils, retread 
tires, and reclaimed engine coolant.
7. The Federal Motor Vehicle Fleet Report reporting is now accomplished 
through the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST). FAST is an 
internet-based reporting system used by GSA and the Department of 
Energy to capture motor vehicle inventory, cost, fuel, and use data 
from all Federal agencies.
8. A new subpart as been added on Environmental Concerns which address 
hazardous wastes, Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Energy Policy Act 
of 1992, Executive Order 13149, the Federal Fleet Program, EPA-
designated recycled content products, and the Federal Alternative Fuel 
Vehicle USER Program.

Legal Authority: sec 210(j), Fed Prop and Admin Services Act of 1949, 
as amended (40 USC 490(j))

CFR Citation: 41 CFR 102-85

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is revising the 
Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) by moving coverage of 
GSA's Rent Program into the Federal Management Regulation (FMR). A

This interim rule establishes the pricing policy guidance for Occupancy 
Agreements between GSA and the customer agencies. It also governs 
intra-governmental pricing of space and services.

3581. PROHIBITED PURCHASES OF PROPERTY SOLD BY GSA

Priority: Info./Admin./Other

Legal Authority: 5 USC 7301; 5 CFR 2635.105; 5 CFR 2635.702; 5 CFR 
2635.703

CFR Citation: 5 CFR 6701.103

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Under the current regulation at 5 CFR 6701.103, GSA employees 
(and their spouses and minor children) are prohibited from purchasing 
for themselves or others any personal or real property being sold by 
GSA. This regulation supplemented the prohibition on the use of public 
office for private gain at 5 CFR 2635.702 and the prohibition on the 
use of nonpublic information at 5 CFR 2635.703. GSA believes that the 
current prohibition at section 6701.103 for all GSA employees, their 
spouses, and minor children is unnecessarily broad and that the 
prohibition should be extended only to those employees where the 
possibility of using public office or nonpublic information for private 
gain exists or where the possibility of the appearance of a conflict of 
interest occurs. For that reason, GSA is retaining but liberalizing 
this provision, so as to allow the purchase by GSA employees of 
property sold by GSA, except for those GSA employees who personally and 
substantially participate in, or have official responsibility for, the 
sale of real and personal property.

CFR Citation: 41 CFR 101-9; 41 CFR 102-192

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rulemaking revises FPMR 101-9 and moves it into the 
Federal Management Regulation at 102-192. The new rule, rewritten in 
plain language, establishes four requirements at the agency level. 
Specifically, all agencies must (1) have written security plans at the 
agency and facility level; (2) ensure that mail costs are identified at 
the program level; (3) ensure that all payments to the United States 
Postal Service are made using commercial payment processes (i.e., not 
using the Postal Service's Official Mail Accounting System)--the 
effective date of this requirement will be October 1, 2003; (4) have 
performance measures for mail operations. In addition, the new rule 
requires all agencies that spend over $1 million per year on postage to 
send GSA an annual report that states the total amounts spent on 
postage, verifies that facility security plans have been reviewed at 
the agency level, identifies performance measures in use, and describes 
the agency's plans to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their 
mail operations.
