    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.

  15. 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 (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.

    Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

    Legal Authority: 40 USC 121(c); 40 USC 17503

    CFR Citation: 41 CFR 102-34

    Legal Deadline: None

    Abstract: An amendment to FMR 102-34 was drafted to incorporate recent changes in the program. The significant changes included in the interim rule published in May 2006 include: 1. The Fleet Average Fuel Economy Standards for FY 2005, 2006, and 2007 for light trucks are revised. 2. Motor vehicle identification requirements are 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 amended the FMR to reflect the practice currently permitted under the deviation as part of the interim rule. 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.

    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.

    Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 701 to 796l, and 5

    U.S.C. 3102, that allows agencies to reimburse employees with special needs for expenses incurred for the services of an attendant while on official travel. Specifically, this final rule amended the FTR by adding reimbursement for ``services of an attendant traveling with an employee with special needs'' as a miscellaneous expense item. The FTR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSA's website at http://www.gsa.gov/ftr.
