# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## A. Background

In an effort to improve GSA's external directives system, GSA has undertaken a review of the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR). The FPMR prescribes Governmentwide regulations for real property, personal property, and other programs and activities within GSA's regulatory authority. As part of this review, GSA is removing FPMR 101-2 because it is procedural rather than regulatory. Current guidance issued by the Department of Treasury may be found in the Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) Vol. 1, Part 6, Chapter 4000.

## B. Executive Order 12866

The General Services Administration has determined that this final rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866.

## C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

                    A regulatory flexibility analysis is not required under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 4 U.S.C. 601,                     *et seq.*, because there is no requirement that the rule be published in the                     **Federal Register**                     for notice and comment.                

## D. Paperwork Reduction Act

                    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this final rule does not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements, or the collection of information from offerors, contractors, or members of the public which require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 501*et seq.*

## E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

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