3420. FEDERAL MANAGEMENT REGULATION (FMR) AMENDMENT 2003-2; FMR CASE 
2003-102-1; MAIL MANAGEMENT

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 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 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

[[Page 65370]]

(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.

3421. FEDERAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS (FPMR) CASE 2003-101-1; 
DISPOSITION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY WITH SPECIAL HANDLING REQUIREMENTS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 40 USC 121(c)

CFR Citation: 41 CFR 101-42; 41 CFR 101-45; 41 CFR 102-40

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The General Services Administration proposes revising FPMR 
101-42 and moving it into the Federal Management Regulation at 102-40. 
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.

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 RBPC researched and produced a complete package of relocation 
changes that included both statutory as well as regulatory elements. 
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.

3435. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION ACQUISITION REGULATION (GSAR) CASE 
2005-G501; FEDERAL AGENCY RETAIL PHARMACY PROGRAM

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 40 USC 121(c)

CFR Citation: 48 CFR 538; 48 CFR 552

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to 
amend the General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to add a new 
subpart and clause required by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), 
consistent with congressional intent under section 603 of the Veterans 
Health Care Act of 1992 (VHCA) and 38 U.S.C. 8126, that certain Federal 
agencies (i.e., VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Public Health Service 
(including the Indian Health Service), and the Coast Guard) have access 
to Federal pricing for pharmaceuticals purchased for their 
beneficiaries.
GSA is responsible for the schedules program and rules related to its 
operation. Under GSA's delegation of authority, the VA procures medical 
supplies under the VA Federal Supply Schedule program. VA and DoD seek 
this amendment. This new subpart adds a clause unique to the virtual 
depot system established by a Federal Agency Retail Pharmacy Program 
utilizing contracted retail pharmacies as part of a centralized 
pharmaceutical commodity management program. At this time, only DoD has 
a program in place, and the rule would facilitate DoD's access to 
Federal pricing on Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) pharmaceutical 
contracts for covered drugs purchased by DoD and dispensed to TRICARE 
beneficiaries through retail pharmacies in the TRICARE network.

3443. 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 will be changed. All 
required identifiers are now to be 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. GSA intends to amend the FMR to reflect the practice 
currently permitted under the waiver.
3. UNICOR is the mandatory supplier of official U.S. Government license 
plates. Lorton Prison in Virginia, the supplier of license plates for a 
number of years, is 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. A letter code on the license plate now identifies a specific 
agency's vehicles. For example, the letter G designates GSA Fleet.
5. The Federal Management Regulation includes a provision under which 
the head of an agency (or designee) may authorize a limited exemption 
to the display of U.S. Government license plates and motor vehicle 
identification upon written certification. Motor vehicles used for 
common administrative purposes and not directly connected to 
investigative, law enforcement, or intelligence duties involving 
security activities are ineligible for this exemption. A deviation was 
granted after the events of September 11, 2001, to remove the 
restriction as to motor vehicles used for administrative purposes. GSA 
intends to amend the FMR to reflect the practice currently permitted 
under the deviation.
6. The Federal Motor Vehicle Fleet Report. This 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.
7. Agencies must have an agency-wide fleet management information 
system that will link all fleet data throughout the agency and 
interface with the FAST.
