###### General Services Administration

          - 41 CFR Part 101-45 
          - [FPMR Amendment H-207] 
          - RIN 3090-AH29 

# AGENCY:

Office of Governmentwide Policy, GSA. 

# ACTION:

Final rule. 

# SUMMARY:

The General Services Administration revised the regulations governing the abandonment and destruction of Federal personal property in the custody of executive agencies. The revised regulations are found in the Federal Management Regulation (FMR). This final rule removes from the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) the old regulations governing use of the abandonment/destruction authority. This action is necessary to avoid duplicative coverage in the FPMR and the FMR. A cross reference is added to the FPMR to direct readers to the location of the new regulations in the FMR. 

# EFFECTIVE DATE:

October 24, 2000. 

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Martha Caswell, Director, Personal Property Management Policy Division (MTP), 202-501-3828. 

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## A. Executive Order 12866

The General Services Administration (GSA) has determined that this final rule is not a significant rule for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993. 

## B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

                    This final rule is not required to be published in the                     **Federal Register**                     for public comment. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply.                 

## C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

                    The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply because this final rule does not contain any information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501*et seq.*

## D. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 

This final rule is exempt from Congressional review prescribed under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and personnel.
