The proposed FTR changes are the result of RBPC

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.

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. 
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; 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

[[Page 73957]]

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 proposes revising FPMR

This proposed rule updates, streamlines, and clarifies FPMR part 101-42 
and moves the part into the FMR as part 102-40. This proposed rule 
amends the FPMR by revising coverage on the hazardous and certain 
categories of personal property and moving it into the FMR. The 
proposed rule is written in a plain language question and answer 
format. This style uses an active voice, shorter sentences, and 
pronouns. A question and its answer combine to establish a rule. The 
employee and the agency must follow the language contained in both the 
question and its answer.

3459. 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 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 code on 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 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 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.
