Download as PDF 14510 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 31, 2009 / Proposed Rules between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Energy Effects We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ under that order because it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211. tjames on PRODPC61 with PROPOSALS Technical Standards The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. Environment We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 5100.1 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have made a preliminary determination under the Instruction that this action is not likely to have a significant effect on the human environment. An environmental analysis checklist supporting this preliminary determination is available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    The purpose of the proposed rule is to update and clarify FMR 102-
36.135. The current language has caused confusion with our customers 
and resulted in unnecessarily prolonged removal periods. This revision 
makes it clear that the acquiring agency is responsible for scheduling 
and coordinating the property removal once the acquiring agency 
receives notification from GSA that they have been allocated the 
property.

B. Executive Order 12866

    This proposed rule is excepted from the definition of 
``regulation'' or ``rule'' under Section 3(d)(3) of Executive Order 
12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993 and, 
therefore, was not subject to review under Section 6(b) of that 
Executive Order.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This proposed rule is not required to be published in the Federal 
Register for notice and comment as per the exemption specified in 5 
U.S.C. 553 (a)(2); therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 
601, et seq., does not apply.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the proposed 
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 proposed rule is exempt from Congressional review under 5 
U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and personnel.

List of Subjects in 41 CFR Part 102-36

    Dated: February 23, 2009.
Stan Kaczmarczyk,

    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, GSA proposes to amend 41 
CFR part 102-36 as set forth below:

as follows:

    Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c).

    2. Revise Sec.  102-36.135 to read as follows:


Sec.  102-36.135  How much time do we have to pick up excess personal 
property that has been approved for transfer?

    Normally, you have 15 calendar days from the date of GSA allocation 
to pick up the excess personal property for transfer and you are 
responsible for scheduling and coordinating the property removal with 
the holding agency. If additional removal time is required, you are 
responsible for requesting such additional removal time.
