Federal Management Regulation; FMR 

Case 2009–102–2; Disposition of 

Excess Personal Property 

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide 

Policy, General Services Administration 

(GSA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration is amending the Federal 

Management Regulation (FMR) by 

making a change to its personal property 

policy. This final rule updates and 

clarifies language that has caused some 

confusion with our customers and 

resulted in unnecessarily prolonged 

periods to remove property. 

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is 

effective on August 14, 2009.

case 2009–102–2. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

A proposed rule was published in the 

Federal Register on February 23, 2009 

(74 FR 14510) to solicit comments on a 

proposed change to FMR section 102– 

36.135 (41 CFR 102–36.135). The 

language used in that section caused 

confusion with our customers and 

resulted in unnecessarily prolonged 

removal periods. The proposed revision 

would make 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. No 

comments were received. 

B. Executive Order 12866 

This final 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 final rule was not required to be 

published in the Federal Register for 

comment. Therefore, the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act does not apply. However, 

a proposed rule was published on 

February 23, 2009 in order to elicit 

comments and 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 

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 final rule is exempt from 

Congressional review under 5 U.S.C. 

801 since it relates solely to agency 

management and personnel.

Dated: July 15, 2009. 

Paul F. Prouty, 

Acting Administrator of General Services. 

■ For the reasons set forth in the 

preamble, GSA amends 41 CFR part 

102–36 as set forth below: 

PART 102–36—DISPOSITION OF 

EXCESS PERSONAL PROPERTY 

■ 1. The authority citation for 41 CFR 

part 102–36 continues to read as 

follows: 

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

■ 2. Revise § 102–36.135 to read as 

follows: 

§ 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.

subcontract awards.
