SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    The Government Accountability Office and the General Services 
Administration Office of Inspector General have reported that some 
Federal agencies using the delegated leasing authority issued to 
Federal agencies on September 25, 1996, are not following properly the 
instructions specified as a condition for use of the leasing 
delegation. To address the concerns raised by these audits, to 
facilitate compliance with all applicable laws and regulations 
governing the acquisition of real property leasehold interests, and to 
minimize risk to the Federal Buildings Fund, GSA will no longer 
authorize General Purpose leasing delegations for space acquisitions in 
excess of 19,999 rentable square feet.

B. Executive Order 12866

    The General Services Administration has determined that this final 
rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes of 
Executive Order 12866.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This final rule is not required to be published in the Federal 
Register for comment. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does 
not apply.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to 
the FMR do not impose information collection requirements that require 
the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.

E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    This final rule is exempt from Congressional review under 5 U.S.C. 
801, since it relates solely to agency management and personnel.
