GENERAL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION
The General Services
Administration is amending the Federal
Management Regulation (FMR) by
changing its personal property policy.
The changes include the addition of
certain veterans organizations as eligible
donation recipients, updating and
clarifying language regarding the use of
Standard Form 97, The United States
Government Certificate to Obtain Title
to a Vehicle (SF 97), instructing
agencies to ensure against unauthorized
use of blank copies of SF 97, making
minor clarifying edits to existing
policies, and removing and reserving
certain regulations that are no longer
required.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
Effective: October 30, 2014.
Mr.
Robert Holcombe, Office of
Governmentwide Policy, Office of Asset
and Transportation Management (MT),

Robert.Holcombe@gsa.gov for
clarification of content. For information

Secretariat at 202–501–4755. Please cite

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
A. Background
GSA published a proposed rule in the
Federal Register at 77 FR 50447 on
August 21, 2012. As a result, two
comments were received that suggested
revisions or clarifications to Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) section
31.205–8 concerning whether contractor
contributions or donations of contractor-
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
64513
owned property to veterans
organizations are allowable costs under
a contract. Because that issue is outside
the scope of this final rule, both
submitters were provided with the
procedures for suggesting changes to the
FAR. Additionally GSA informed the
submitters that Federal property used by
contractors is screened for use and
donation under the plant clearance
processes contained in FAR part 45.
Specifically, Federal property is made
available for screening by other Federal
agencies and eligible donees under FAR
section 45.602–3. The proposed new
subpart J, ‘‘Insuring Donated Property,’’
published in the proposed rule has been
removed from this final rule because
GSA determined that, as a general
matter, the decision to acquire
insurance rests with the recipient of the
property. No other substantive changes
have been made to that which was
published as the proposed rule.
B. Changes
The changes in this final rule include
(1) the addition of certain veterans
organizations as eligible donation
recipients as authorized by 40 U.S.C.
549(c)(3)(C); (2) updating and clarifying
language regarding the use of Standard
Form 97, The United States Government
Certificate to Obtain Title to a Vehicle
(SF 97), and instructing agencies to
ensure against unauthorized use of
blank copies of SF 97; (3) making minor
clarifying edits to existing policies; and
(4) removing and reserving current FMR
sections 102–37.180 and 102–37.185 as
screener identification cards are no
longer required.
C. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 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). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This final rule is not a
significant regulatory action, and
therefore, was not subject to review
under Section 6(b) of E.O. 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, dated
September 30, 1993. This final rule is
not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
E:\FR\FM\30OCR1.SGM
30OCR1
64514
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 210 / Thursday, October 30, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
within the meaning of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. This
final rule is also exempt from the
Administrative Procedure Act per 5
U.S.C. 553(a)(2) because it applies to
agency management and public
property.
E. 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.
F. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act
This final rule is exempt from
Congressional review under 5 U.S.C.
801 since it does not substantially affect
the rights or obligations of non-agency
parties.

organizations are those whose:

conditional eligibility to applicants who
would otherwise qualify as eligible donees,
but have been unable to obtain approval,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

GSA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 77 FR

suggested revisions or clarifications to Federal Acquisition Regulation

the submitters that Federal property used by contractors is screened

seq. This final rule is also exempt from the Administrative Procedure
Act per 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) because it applies to agency management and
public property.
E. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to

F. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This final rule is exempt from Congressional review under 5 U.S.C.

non-agency parties.
