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.

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.

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.
