Federal Management Regulation; Motor Vehicle Management
The General Services Administration is proposing to amend the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) by revising current policy on the definitions relating to the rental versus the lease of motor vehicles. The proposed rule would increase the less than 60 continuous day rental timeframe to less than 120 continuous days and adjust the definition of the term ``commercial lease or lease commercially'' accordingly to allow for the instances when agencies have a valid temporary mission requirement for a motor vehicle of 60 continuous days or more in duration but of significantly fewer days in duration than is typically available under commercial leases, which commonly require a minimum lease period of one year.
