SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration (GSA) is amending the
Federal Management Regulation (FMR)
by updating requirements and
information on motor vehicle
management. This interim rule makes
changes to vehicle identification
requirements. Specifically, it allows
agencies to have limited identification
exemptions for motor vehicles that are
regularly used for common
administrative purposes. Some agencies
have expressed a need to exempt even
their administrative vehicles from
displaying Government identification
for situations with specifically
identified security risks. Agencies will
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
still need to have a certification of need
signed by the agency head or designee
before authorizing limited identification
exceptions.
This interim rule provides
information for obtaining U.S.
Government license plates from
UNICOR, Federal Prison Industries Inc.,
the current license plate supplier. This
interim rule further updates Federal
motor vehicle management regulations
by replacing the requirement for
agencies to provide certain motor
vehicle information to GSA on the
Standard Form 82 with the requirement
to use the Federal Automotive
Statistical Tool (FAST), an Internetbased reporting tool.
This interim rule also requires
agencies to have an agency-wide fleet
E:\FR\FM\12MYR1.SGM
12MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 92 / Friday, May 12, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
management information system that
will link all fleet data throughout the
agency and interface with the Federal
Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST).
This new FMR requirement implements
40 U.S.C. 17503 that gives the
Administrator with others, the authority
to prescribe data collection
requirements for data on the costs and
uses of motor vehicles by executive
agencies. Furthermore, the requirement
for an agency-wide management
information system was a keystone
report recommendation for improving
agency fleet management made by the
Federal Fleet Policy Council’s
interagency team of fleet professionals
following their review of agencies’ fleet
management programs in 2002. The
FMR and any corresponding documents
may be accessed at GSA’s Web site at
https://www.gsa.gov/fmr.

is effective May 25, 2006.

A. Background
Part 102–34 of the Federal
Management Regulation (FMR) (41 CFR
part 102–34) is being amended to
update the regulation in the following
areas: The Fleet Average Economy
Standards for FY 2000 and beyond; the
preferred location for displaying motor
vehicle identification; the source for
obtaining official U.S. Government
license plates; and the process for
receiving exemptions from the
requirement to display U.S. Government
license plates and other motor vehicle
identification.
Also, Federal agencies located in the
District of Columbia (DC) should now
use Federal license plates provided by
UNICOR for all their vehicles, even
those vehicles operating in DC. The
requirement for Government vehicles
operating in DC to obtain U.S.
Government license plates from the DC
Department of Motor Vehicles is
removed by this interim rule. This
change standardizes the license plate
ordering process and allows Federal
agencies in DC to use the same type of
license plates as Federal agencies use in
the rest of the country. The list of
approved U.S. Government license plate
codes has been removed from section
102–34.160 and placed in GSA Bulletin
FMR B–11. Also, the list of agencies
having unlimited exemptions from
displaying U.S. Government license
plate and motor vehicle identification
has been removed from section 102–
34.195 and placed in GSA Bulletin FMR
B–12. (FMR bulletins are located at
www.gsa.gov/bulletin.)
Subpart I of 41 CFR part 102–34 is
being revised to require agencies to have
a vehicle management information
system (VMIS) in accordance with 40
U.S.C. 17503. In April 2002, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
requested all Executive Branch agencies
to take a closer look at their fleet
management operations, particularly the
size of their fleets and costs of
operations. Many agencies were unable
to accurately evaluate their fleet
operations because of a lack of data on
vehicle inventory and operational costs.
Agencies also lacked internal
performance metrics to ensure their
fleets were being replaced in a timely
manner and operating at their optimal
performance level. An interagency
review team from the Federal Fleet
Policy Council (FEDFLEET)
recommended that agencies be required
to have a VMIS. There are two main
reasons for this requirement. First, with
a VMIS agencies can more efficiently
and accurately collect agency
information on their actual motor
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
27637
vehicle fleet: vehicle cost, fuel costs,
projected vehicle inventories and
vehicle disposals; and then use that
information to better manage their
fleets. Secondly, agencies can more
easily provide that information to the
Internet-based reporting system called
FAST (Federal Automotive Statistical
Tool) in lieu of the paper SF 82. The
data reported to FAST will be used by
GSA, the Department of Energy, and the
Office of Management and Budget to
monitor Federal fleets and identify
those agency motor vehicle management
programs that are effective as well as
identify those programs that need to
improve.
In addition, some sections of this
regulation were rewritten for clarity.
Editorial changes were made to the
entire regulation to remove outdated
information in tables and to make the
regulation consistent with current
practices. For example, in subpart F
‘‘crash’’ replaces ‘‘accident’’ when
referring to motor vehicle collisions to
be consistent with the National
Highway and Safety Administration, the
lead Federal agency for the assurance of
safe, secure, and efficient automotive
travel.
B. Executive Order 12866
The General Services Administration
(GSA) has determined that this interim
rule is not a significant regulatory action
for the purposes of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
A Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is
not required under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,
because there is no requirement that this
interim rule be published in the Federal
Register for notice and comment.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply because this interim rule does
not contain any information collection
requirements that require the approval
of the OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et
seq.
E. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act
This interim rule is also exempt from
Congressional review prescribed under
5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to
agency management and personnel.

Report?
What is the Federal Fleet
The Federal Fleet Report (FFR) is an
annual summary of Federal fleet
statistics based upon fleet composition
at the end of each fiscal year and vehicle
use and cost during the fiscal year. The
FFR is compiled by the General Services
Administration (GSA) from information
submitted by Federal agencies. The FFR
is designed to provide essential
statistical data for worldwide Federal
motor vehicle fleet operations. Review
of the report assists Government
agencies, including GSA, in evaluating
the effectiveness of the operation and
management of individual fleets to
determine whether vehicles are being
utilized properly and to identify high
cost areas where fleet expenses can be
reduced. The FFR is posted on the GSA,
Federal Vehicle Policy Division Internet
website (https://www.gsa.gov/
vehiclepolicy).
I 23. Add § 102–34.346 to read as
follows:
§ 102–34.346 How do I submit information
to the General Services Administration
(GSA) for the Federal Fleet Report (FFR)?
(a) Annually, agencies must submit to
the General Services Administration
(GSA) the information needed to
produce the Federal Fleet Report (FFR)
through the electronic Standard Form
(SF) 82, Agency Report of Motor Vehicle
Data. Agencies must use the Federal
Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST), an
Internet-based reporting tool, to report
required information to GSA. To find
out how to submit motor vehicle data to
GSA through FAST, go to https://
fastweb.inel.gov/.
(b) Specific reporting categories, by
agency, included in the FFR are—
(1) Inventory;
(2) Acquisitions;
(3) Operating costs;
(4) Miles traveled; and
(5) Fuel used.
Note to § 102–34.346: The FAST system is
also used by agency Fleet Managers to
provide the Department of Energy with
information required by the Energy Policy
Act and Executive Order 13149. In addition,
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
requires agency Fleet Managers and budget
officers to submit annual agency motor
vehicle budgeting information to OMB
through FAST. (See OMB Circular A–11,

A. Background
DFARS Transformation is a major
DoD initiative to dramatically change
the purpose and content of the DFARS.
The objective is to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of the
acquisition process, while allowing the
acquisition workforce the flexibility to
innovate. The transformed DFARS will
contain only requirements of law, DoDwide policies, delegations of FAR
authorities, deviations from FAR
requirements, and policies/procedures
VerDate Aug<31>2005

that have a significant effect beyond the
internal operating procedures of DoD or
a significant cost or administrative
impact on contractors or offerors.
Additional information on the DFARS
Transformation initiative is available at
https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/
dfars/transformation/index.htm.
This final rule is a result of the
DFARS Transformation initiative. The
rule permits DoD contracting activities
to assign an additional identification
number to an existing contract by
issuing a separate ‘‘continued’’ contract,
when continued performance under the
existing contract number is not practical
for administrative reasons. The
continued contract will incorporate all
prices, terms, and conditions of the
predecessor contract. Use of this
procedure is expected to be limited, but
will help to simplify administration,
payment, and closeout of lengthy,
complex contracts; and will help in
situations where a contracting activity
has exhausted its assigned series of
identification numbers for orders placed
against another activity’s contract.
DoD published a proposed rule at 70
FR 23826 on May 5, 2005. One DoD
contracting activity submitted
comments requesting clarification of
administrative matters pertaining to the
Government’s execution of this new
procedure. A new section has been
added to the DFARS companion
resource, Procedures, Guidance, and
Information (PGI), at PGI 204.7001
(https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/
pgi), to provide supplemental guidance
to contracting officers regarding use of
this procedure.
This rule was not subject to Office of
Management and Budget review under
Executive Order 12866, dated
September 30, 1993.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DoD certifies that this final rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
within the meaning of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,
because the rule addresses an
administrative procedure that is
performed by the Government. A
continued contract does not constitute a
new procurement and will incorporate
all prices, terms, and conditions of the
predecessor contract.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply, because the rule does not
impose any information collection
requirements that require the approval
of the Office of Management and Budget
under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

[FMR Amendment 2006-03; FMR Case 2006-102-1]
RIN 3090-AH68
Federal Management Regulation; Motor Vehicle Management
AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide Policy, General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Interim rule with request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the
Federal Management Regulation (FMR) by updating requirements and
information on motor vehicle management. This interim rule makes
changes to vehicle identification requirements. Specifically, it allows
agencies to have limited identification exemptions for motor vehicles
that are regularly used for common administrative purposes. Some
agencies have expressed a need to exempt even their administrative
vehicles from displaying Government identification for situations with
specifically identified security risks. Agencies will still need to
have a certification of need signed by the agency head or designee
before authorizing limited identification exceptions.
This interim rule provides information for obtaining U.S.
Government license plates from UNICOR, Federal Prison Industries Inc.,
the current license plate supplier. This interim rule further updates
Federal motor vehicle management regulations by replacing the
requirement for agencies to provide certain motor vehicle information
to GSA on the Standard Form 82 with the requirement to use the Federal
Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST), an Internet-based reporting tool.
This interim rule also requires agencies to have an agency-wide
fleet
[[Page 27637]]
management information system that will link all fleet data throughout
the agency and interface with the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool
(FAST). This new FMR requirement implements 40 U.S.C. 17503 that gives
the Administrator with others, the authority to prescribe data
collection requirements for data on the costs and uses of motor
vehicles by executive agencies. Furthermore, the requirement for an
agency-wide management information system was a keystone report
recommendation for improving agency fleet management made by the
Federal Fleet Policy Council's interagency team of fleet professionals
following their review of agencies' fleet management programs in 2002.
The FMR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSA's Web
site at https://www.gsa.gov/fmr.
DATES: Effective Date: This interim rule is effective May 25, 2006.
Comment Date: Comments must be received on or before June 12, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Part 102-34 of the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) (41 CFR part
102-34) is being amended to update the regulation in the following
areas: The Fleet Average Economy Standards for FY 2000 and beyond; the
preferred location for displaying motor vehicle identification; the
source for obtaining official U.S. Government license plates; and the
process for receiving exemptions from the requirement to display U.S.
Government license plates and other motor vehicle identification.
Also, Federal agencies located in the District of Columbia (DC)
should now use Federal license plates provided by UNICOR for all their
vehicles, even those vehicles operating in DC. The requirement for
Government vehicles operating in DC to obtain U.S. Government license
plates from the DC Department of Motor Vehicles is removed by this
interim rule. This change standardizes the license plate ordering
process and allows Federal agencies in DC to use the same type of
license plates as Federal agencies use in the rest of the country. The
list of approved U.S. Government license plate codes has been removed
from section 102-34.160 and placed in GSA Bulletin FMR B-11. Also, the
list of agencies having unlimited exemptions from displaying U.S.
Government license plate and motor vehicle identification has been
removed from section 102-34.195 and placed in GSA Bulletin FMR B-12.
(FMR bulletins are located at www.gsa.gov/bulletin.)
Subpart I of 41 CFR part 102-34 is being revised to require
agencies to have a vehicle management information system (VMIS) in
accordance with 40 U.S.C. 17503. In April 2002, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) requested all Executive Branch agencies to
take a closer look at their fleet management operations, particularly
the size of their fleets and costs of operations. Many agencies were
unable to accurately evaluate their fleet operations because of a lack
of data on vehicle inventory and operational costs. Agencies also
lacked internal performance metrics to ensure their fleets were being
replaced in a timely manner and operating at their optimal performance
level. An interagency review team from the Federal Fleet Policy Council
(FEDFLEET) recommended that agencies be required to have a VMIS. There
are two main reasons for this requirement. First, with a VMIS agencies
can more efficiently and accurately collect agency information on their
actual motor vehicle fleet: vehicle cost, fuel costs, projected vehicle
inventories and vehicle disposals; and then use that information to
better manage their fleets. Secondly, agencies can more easily provide
that information to the Internet-based reporting system called FAST
(Federal Automotive Statistical Tool) in lieu of the paper SF 82. The
data reported to FAST will be used by GSA, the Department of Energy,
and the Office of Management and Budget to monitor Federal fleets and
identify those agency motor vehicle management programs that are
effective as well as identify those programs that need to improve.
In addition, some sections of this regulation were rewritten for
clarity. Editorial changes were made to the entire regulation to remove
outdated information in tables and to make the regulation consistent
with current practices. For example, in subpart F ``crash'' replaces
``accident'' when referring to motor vehicle collisions to be
consistent with the National Highway and Safety Administration, the
lead Federal agency for the assurance of safe, secure, and efficient
automotive travel.
B. Executive Order 12866
The General Services Administration (GSA) has determined that this
interim rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes of
Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
A Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not required under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because there is no
requirement that this interim rule be published in the Federal Register
for notice and comment.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this interim
rule does not contain any information collection requirements that
require the approval of the OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This interim rule is also exempt from Congressional review
prescribed under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency
management and personnel.

year and vehicle use and cost during the fiscal year. The FFR is
compiled by the General Services Administration (GSA) from information
submitted by Federal agencies. The FFR is designed to provide essential
statistical data for worldwide Federal motor vehicle fleet operations.
Review of the report assists Government agencies, including GSA, in
evaluating the effectiveness of the operation and management of
individual fleets to determine whether vehicles are being utilized
properly and to identify high cost areas where fleet expenses can be
reduced. The FFR is posted on the GSA, Federal Vehicle Policy Division
Internet website (https://www.gsa.gov/vehiclepolicy).

Sec. 102-34.346 How do I submit information to the General Services
Administration (GSA) for the Federal Fleet Report (FFR)?
(a) Annually, agencies must submit to the General Services
Administration (GSA) the information needed to produce the Federal
Fleet Report (FFR) through the electronic Standard Form (SF) 82, Agency
Report of Motor Vehicle Data. Agencies must use the Federal Automotive
Statistical Tool (FAST), an Internet-based reporting tool, to report
required information to GSA. To find out how to submit motor vehicle
data to GSA through FAST, go to https://fastweb.inel.gov/.
(b) Specific reporting categories, by agency, included in the FFR
are--
(1) Inventory;
(2) Acquisitions;
(3) Operating costs;
(4) Miles traveled; and
(5) Fuel used.
