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 Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, 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. A notice announcing this deviation was published in the Federal Register on September 16, 2005 (70 FR 54747) as a result of Hurricane Katrina. This notice amends that notice by including all agencies whose purchase of gasoline for motor vehicles has been impacted by both Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

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

the motor vehicle manufacturer when fueling motor vehicles owned or 
leased by the Government.
    As a result of the catastrophic destruction caused by Hurricanes 
Katrina and Rita, 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.
