compliance costs incurred by the tribal
governments or the agency consults
with tribal officials early in the process
of developing the proposed regulation.
This action will not significantly affect
any Indian tribe. As indicated above,
North Dakota is not authorized to
implement its pretreatment program in
Indian country. The EPA will continue
to administer the existing pretreatment
program in Indian country in North
Dakota.
Executive Order 13132—Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled
‘‘Federalism,’’ dated August 10, 1999
(64 FR 43255), requires the EPA to
develop an accountable process to
ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by
State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that
have federalism implications.’’ The
phrase ‘‘policies that have federalism
implications’’ is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations
that have ‘‘substantial direct effects on
States, on the relationship between the
National Government and States, or on
the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.’’ This action does
not have federalism implications. It will
not have any substantial direct effects
on the states, on the relationship
between States and the National
Government, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government, as
specified in Executive Order 13132. It
will merely put in place a state
regulatory program that is identical to
the existing federal program.
Executive Order 13211—Energy Effects
Because it is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866, this action is not subject
to Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions
Concerning Regulations that
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use,’’ 66 FR 28355 (May
22, 2001).

ACTION: Notice of a deviation.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces that
the General Services Administration
(GSA), Office of Governmentwide Policy
(M), is granting a deviation from section
102–34.335 of the Federal Management
Regulation (FMR) (41 CFR 102–34.335)
to all agencies whose purchase of
gasoline for motor vehicles has been
impacted by Hurricane Katrina. This
deviation will allow Federal agencies to
purchase premium gasoline for
government owned and leased vehicles
when lower grade gasoline is not
available. This deviation can be found at
www.gsa.gov/vehiclepolicy and clicking
on ‘‘Deviation from 41 CFR 102–
34.335’’.
The deviation announced in this
notice is effective September 8, 2005.

the deviation regarding motor vehicle
management dated September 8, 2005.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Federal Management Regulation
(FMR) section 102–34.335 (41 CFR 102–
34.335) prohibits the use of premium
grade gasoline in any motor vehicle
owned or leased by the Government
unless the motor vehicle specifically
requires premium grade gasoline. This
section states that drivers are to use the
grade (octane rating) of gasoline
recommended by the motor vehicle
manufacturer when fueling motor
vehicles owned or leased by the
Government.
As a result of the catastrophic
destruction caused by Hurricane
Katrina, agencies have reported that
their vehicles operators are unable to
purchase lower octane gasoline for their
vehicles to complete their missions. In
many areas, agencies have only been
able to procure premium gasoline for
use in their motor vehicles. The original
intent of section 102–34.335 was to
reduce fuel costs and eliminate the
unnecessary use of premium gasoline in
vehicles capable of being operated on
lower grade gasoline.
