employee is assigned a temporary
change of station (TCS) in support of a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
A. Background
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5738 the
Administrator of General Services is
authorized to prescribe necessary
regulations to implement laws regarding
Federal employees when assigned a TCS
or when otherwise officially relocated.
The overall implementing authority is
the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) (41
CFR chapters 300–304).
This final rule incorporates language
based on Public Law 110–181, the
National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2008, section 1104, and 5
U.S.C. 5737a, to allow agencies to
establish policies to provide for the
storage, without charge, or for the
reimbursement of the cost of storage, of
a POV that is owned or leased by a
covered employee of that agency (or by
a dependent of such an employee),
when the employee is assigned a TCS in
support of a contingency operation. The
term ‘‘contingency operation’’ has the
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
meaning given such term in 10 U.S.C.
1482a(c)(2) to include humanitarian
operations, peacekeeping operations,
and similar operations.
This final rule also amends and
clarifies other clerical issues pertaining
to FTR Part 302–3, (Subpart B—
Transferred Employees—Table H—
Temporary Change of Station (TCS), and
Subpart E—Employee’s Temporary
Change of Station) and Part 302–9
(Allowances for Transportation and
Emergency Storage of a Privately Owned
Vehicle).
B. Executive Order 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). Executive Order 13563
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules,
and of promoting flexibility. This rule
has not been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ and is not
economically significant, under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
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 revisions are not considered
substantive. This final rule is also
exempt from the Regulatory Flexibility
Act per 5 U.S.C. 553 (a)(2) because it
applies to agency management or
personnel. However, this final rule is
being published to provide transparency
in the promulgation of Federal policies.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply because the changes to the
FTR do not impose recordkeeping or
information collection requirements, or
the collection of information from
offerors, contractors, or members of the
public 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 also exempt from
congressional review prescribed under 5
U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to
agency management and personnel.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5738 the Administrator of General Services is
authorized to prescribe necessary regulations to implement laws
regarding Federal employees when assigned a TCS or when otherwise
officially relocated. The overall implementing authority is the Federal
Travel Regulation (FTR) (41 CFR chapters 300-304).
This final rule incorporates language based on Public Law 110-181,
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, section
1104, and 5 U.S.C. 5737a, to allow agencies to establish policies to
provide for the storage, without charge, or for the reimbursement of
the cost of storage, of a POV that is owned or leased by a covered
employee of that agency (or by a dependent of such an employee), when
the employee is assigned a TCS in support of a contingency operation.
The term ``contingency operation'' has the meaning given such term in
10 U.S.C. 1482a(c)(2) to include humanitarian operations, peacekeeping
operations, and similar operations.
This final rule also amends and clarifies other clerical issues
pertaining to FTR Part 302-3, (Subpart B--Transferred Employees--Table
H--Temporary Change of Station (TCS), and Subpart E--Employee's
Temporary Change of Station) and Part 302-9 (Allowances for

B. Executive Order 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive

flexibility. This rule has not been designated a ``significant

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the
revisions are not considered substantive. This final rule is also

because it applies to agency management or personnel. However, this
final rule is being published to provide transparency in the
promulgation of Federal policies.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to
the FTR do not impose recordkeeping or information collection
requirements, or the collection of information from offerors,
contractors, or members of the public 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 also exempt from congressional review prescribed
under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and
