The Regulatory Secretariat at 202–501–4755 for information pertaining to status or publication schedules. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Councils are seeking public input on SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 whether there is a distinction between renting and leasing that would be useful in performing the analysis required at FAR subpart 7.4 to determine the most cost effective approach, all factors considered. This RFI does not address real property or its leasing. ‘‘Real property’’ is defined in the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) at 41 CFR 102–71.20, and generally describes buildings and land. Some have suggested that there is no legal distinction between leasing and renting per the Uniform Commercial Code and that any distinctions in practice are irrelevant to FAR subpart 7.4, which is seeking the most cost effective method. Others have suggested there are distinctions in the terms and conditions that would be useful to recognize. We note that the FMR at 41 CFR Part 102–34 ‘‘Motor Vehicle Management’’ provides brief definitions of commercial vehicle rentals and leases at 41 CFR 102–34.35, with the only difference being that a rental is for less than 120 continuous days while a lease is 120 continuous days or more. We also note that at FAR subpart 8.11, Leasing of Motor Vehicles, the definition of ‘‘leasing’’ of motor vehicles uses ‘‘hire’’ and ‘‘rent’’ as synonyms for leasing. The Councils are also seeking any additional information to improve the guidance at FAR subpart 7.4. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report dated February 7, 2012, entitled ‘‘Air Force and Interior Can Benefit from Additional Guidance When Deciding Whether to Lease or Purchase Equipment’’ (GAO–12–281R). The GAO report noted that during fiscal years 2006 through 2010, Federal agencies spent more than $200 billion annually, on average, to purchase or lease equipment, with purchases accounting for 99 percent of this spending. GAO stated that this suggests that agencies may overlook the potential for savings by almost always purchasing when equipment is needed on a temporary basis. The GAO report focused on the lease versus purchase analysis, which they generally found inadequate in their selected sampling. While the only GAO recommendation for the FAR was that subpart 7.4 be revised to update the GSA contact information, some contracting officers suggested to GAO that they were uncertain about how and when to perform the analysis required in FAR subpart 7.4. The FAR Council welcomes all suggestions for revisions to FAR subpart 7.4 and, in particular, seeks input on the following questions: • Is there a distinction between rental agreements and leases (not related to real property)?
