Background As a result of the catastrophic destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, agencies should consider delaying all non-essential TDY and relocation to the affected locations for a period of 90 days. This is especially important with relocation travel because the 120-day maximum for TQSE cannot be extended due to statutory restrictions. While in the past, GSA has limited application of such waivers to Presidentially Declared Disaster Areas, in the case of Hurricane Katrina, the widespread devastation coupled with the extensive evacuation of urban areas means that we cannot effectively VerDate Aug<18>2005 15:25 Sep 09, 2005 Jkt 205001 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration on Aging 2005 White House Conference on Aging Administration on Aging, HHS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    In April 2002, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requested 
thatall Executive Branch agencies take a closer look at their fleet 
managementoperations, particularly the size of their fleets. In 
coordination withOMB, information was collected from the agencies using 
a survey developedby the Federal Fleet Policy Council (FEDFLEET) and 
GSA's Vehicle ManagementPolicy Division. The results of the survey 
indicated a number ofdeficiencies in the fleet management operations of 
the agencies. Aninteragency working group of FEDFLEET members 
recommended correctiveactions, including the establishment, within each 
agency, of a documentedstructured vehicle allocation methodology to 
identify the optimalallocation of the agency vehicles in terms of 
number and configuration ofthose vehicles. The need for such a 
methodology was further validated in aMay 2004 Government 
Accountability Office report on the acquisition andmanagement of 
Federal motor vehicles.
    The guidance provided in FMR Bulletin B-9 includes a descriptionof 
the methodology and resultant optimal vehicle allocation, an example 
ofthe methodology both in narrative and in standardized format, how 
themethodology and resultant optimal vehicle allocation should be 
recorded,the sources for development of the methodology and resultant 
optimalvehicle allocation, what actions Federal executive agencies 
should take asa result of the bulletin, and a contact for further
