SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

GSA is amending the FPMR to make editorial changes to FPMR Parts 101-42 and 101-45. Sections therein should have been removed when the policy migrated from FPMR parts 101-42 and 101-45 (with regards to items requiring special handling) to FMR part 102-40.

GSA indicated in the preamble of FMR Change-2015-01; FPMR Case 2003-101-1; FMR Case 2003-102-4, which was published in the Federal Register at 80 FR 7352, on February 10, 2015, that these sections were migrating from the FPMR to the FMR; but the deletion of these superseded FPMR sections were not specifically enumerated in the list of changes to be made. The end result is that, as of today, there is overlapping policy in both the FPMR and the FMR and the remaining FPMR material is outdated and redundant. Therefore, to remove this duplicative information, GSA is issuing a technical correction to FMR Change-2015-01; FPMR Case 2003-101-1; FMR Case 2003-102-4.
