SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    On February 24, 2017, the President signed Executive Order (E.O.) 
13777, ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,'' which established a 
Federal policy ``to alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens'' on the 
American people. Section 3(a) of the E.O. directs Federal agencies to 
establish a Regulatory Reform Task Force (Task Force). One of the 
duties of the Task Force is to evaluate existing regulations and ``make 
recommendations to the agency head regarding their repeal, replacement, 
or modification.'' The E.O. further asks that each Task Force ``attempt 
to identify regulations that:
    (i) Eliminate jobs, or inhibit job creation;
    (ii) are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective;
    (iii) impose costs that exceed benefits;
    (iv) create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with 
regulatory reform initiatives and policies;
    (v) are inconsistent with the requirements of section 515 of the 
Treasury and General Government Appropriation Act, 2001 (44 U.S.C. 3516 
note), or the guidance issued pursuant to that provision in particular 
those regulations that rely in whole or in part on data, information, 
or methods that are not publicly available or that are insufficiently 
transparent to meet the standard of reproducibility; or
    (vi) derive from or implement Executive Orders or other 
Presidential directives that have been subsequently rescinded or 
substantially modified.''
    Section 3(e) of the E.O. 13777 calls on the Task Force to ``seek 
input and other assistance, as permitted by law, from entities 
significantly affected by Federal regulations, including State, local, 
and tribal governments, small businesses, consumers, non-governmental 
organizations, trade associations'' on regulations that meet some or 
all of the criteria above. Through this notice, GSA is soliciting such 
input from the public to inform its Task Force's evaluation of existing 
federal management and federal property management regulations. 
Specifically, GSA is seeking input on regulations within 41 CFR Chapter 
102 (Federal Management Regulation (FMR)) and 41 CFR Chapter 101 
(Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR)) that may be 
appropriate for repeal, replacement, or modification.
    This Notice is requesting comment on topics contained in the 
following Subchapters of 41 CFR part 102:

 Subchapter A--General
 Subchapter B--Personal Property
 Subchapter C--Real Property
 Subchapter D--Transportation
