3469. FEDERAL MANAGEMENT REGULATION (FMR) AMENDMENT 2003-2; FMR CASE 
2003-102-1; MAIL MANAGEMENT

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: sec 2, PL 94-575, as amended; 44 USC 2904; 40 USC 
121(c)

CFR Citation: 41 CFR 102--192

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The interim rule published in the Federal Register at 67 FR 
38896, June 6, 2002, revised FPMR 101-9 and moved it into the Federal 
Management Regulation at 102-192. The new rule, rewritten in plain 
language, established four requirements at the agency level.

[[Page 38335]]

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 usingcommercial 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; and (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.
This second interim rule amended the Federal Management Regulation 
(FMR) to extend the deadline for agencies to convert to commercial 
payment to the United States Postal Service instead of the Official 
Mail Accounting System (OMAS). This rule amended the interim rule 
published in the Federal Register at 67 FR 38896, June 6, 2002, to 
reflect the extension of the deadline from October 1, 2003, to December 
31, 2003. The FMR and corresponding documents are available via the 
Internet at http://www.gsa.gov.

Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) Office of 
Governmentwide Policy continually reviews and adjusts policies as a 
part of its ongoing mission to provide policy assistance to the 
Government agencies bound by the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR). As 
part of that ongoing mission, GSA created the Relocation Best Practices 
Committee (RBPC) to examine Government relocation policy. The RBPC 
consists of Government as well as private sector relocation experts. 
The proposed FTR changes are the result of RBPC recommendations, 
benchmarking against private industry, and GSA, representing 
Governmentwide policy needs. The proposed changes are intended to keep 
Government relocation practices in line with current relocation trends 
and allow for better management of the Government relocation programs 
including costs.

3480. FEDERAL MANAGEMENT REGULATION; MOTOR VEHICLE MANAGEMENT

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 40 USC 121(c)

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 has closed. The GSA Federal Vehicle

[[Page 38338]]

Policy Division (MTV) initiated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 
with UNICOR to provide license plates to all Federal agencies.
4. Agencies are identified by a letter codeon the license plate. For 
example, the letter G designates GSA Fleet.
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 September 11, 
2001, at the request of the agencies. This note has been removed to 
allow agenciesto 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 datafrom 
all Federal agencies.
8. A new subpart has been added on Environmental Concerns, which 
addresses 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.

3487. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION; ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL; 
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 (and their 
spouses and minor children) 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.

Abstract: This rulemaking establishes procedures for implementing the

of Treasury rules at 31 CFR part 208 and OMB Prompt Payment Act rules 
at 5 CFR part 1315. To comply with these rules, GSA must collect

to include the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and banking 
information for electronic funds transfer, unless agency procedures 
provide otherwise. GSA will require the TIN on each invoice but will 
consider entering banking information on the GSA Form 300 in lieu of 
requiring it on the invoice, if feasible.

Abstract: The General Services Administration revised the Federal

several cross-references are no longer valid in existing FMR parts. 
This final rule amends the FMR by updating certain cross-references in
