Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 21189 

is not a rule under the APA (5 U.S.C. 

551(4)), and does not require the 

issuance of a proposed rule, the 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et 

seq.) do not apply. 

This action does not contain any 

information collections or impose 

additional burdens that require approval 

by OMB under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.). Nor does this order require any 

special considerations under Executive 

Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to 

Address Environmental Justice in 

Minority Populations and Low-Income 

Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 

1994). 

This order directly regulates growers, 

food processors, food handlers, and food 

retailers, not States or tribes; nor does 

this action alter the relationships or 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities established by Congress 

in the preemption provisions of FFDCA 

section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency 

has determined that this action will not 

have a substantial direct effect on States 

or tribal governments, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the State or tribal 

governments, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government or between 

the Federal Government and Indian 

tribes. Thus the Agency has determined 

that Executive Order 13132, entitled 

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999), and Executive Order 13175, 

entitled Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply 

to this order. In addition, this order does 

not impose any enforceable duty or 

contain any unfunded mandate as 

described in the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1531– 

1538). 

VIII. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

The CRA (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) does 

not apply to this action because this 

order n is not a rule as that term is 

defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(3). EPA will, 

however, submit a courtesy copy of this 

document to each House of the Congress 

and to the Comptroller General of the 

United States.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration (GSA) is amending the 

Federal Management Regulation (FMR). 

This amendment changes the means by 

which GSA publishes the redefined 

foreign gift minimal value rates and 

adds the term and definition of 

‘‘spouse’’. 

DATES: Effective: April 17, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Robert Holcombe, Office of 

Government-wide Policy, Office of 

Asset and Transportation Management 

(MA), at 202–501–3828 or by email at 

Robert.Holcombe@gsa.gov for 

clarification of content. For information 

pertaining to status or publication 

schedules contact the Regulatory 

Secretariat at 202–501–4755. Please cite 

FMR Case 2014–102–3. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Every three years, GSA is required to 

redefine the ‘‘minimal value’’ of foreign 

gifts under 5 U.S.C. 7342. In order for 

GSA to consult with the Secretary of 

State and publish this revised figure as 

closely to the effective date (January 1st) 

as possible, the redefined values will be 

published in a Federal Management 

Regulation (FMR) Bulletin at 

www.gsa.gov/personalpropertypolicy. 

In addition, the definition of minimal 

value is being amended to state that an 

employing agency may, by regulation, 

define ‘‘minimal value’’ for its agency 

employees to be less than the GSA 

definition, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

7342(a)(5)(B). 

Finally, the term and definition of 

‘‘spouse’’ is added to FMR part 102–42. 

Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act 

(DOMA), codified at 1 U.S.C. 7, 

provided that, when used in a Federal 

law, the term ‘‘spouse’’ referred only to 

a person of the opposite sex who is a 

husband or a wife. Because of DOMA, 

the Federal Government has been 

heretofore prohibited from recognizing 

marriages of same-sex couples for all 

Federal purposes, including asset 

management policies. On June 26, 2013, 

in United States v. Windsor, 570 U.S. 12 

(2013), 133 S. Ct. 2675 (2013), the 

Supreme Court of the United States 

(Supreme Court) held Section 3 of 

DOMA unconstitutional. As a result, 

GSA is adding the definition of the term 

‘‘spouse’’ to this part for clarity. This 

case is included in GSA’s retrospective 

review of existing regulations under 

Executive Order 13563. Additional 

information is located in GSA’s 

retrospective review (2014) available at: 

www.gsa.gov/improvingregulations. 

B. Changes 

This final rule: 

(1) Changes the means by which GSA 

publishes updates to the definition of 

‘‘minimal value’’ and makes the 

information available to the public; 

(2) Adds the term and a definition for 

the term ‘‘spouse’’ to 41 CFR part 102– 

42; and 

(3) Changes the citations in the 

authority section to reflect the 

codification of Title 40, United States 

Code, into positive law.

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 

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 or 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. 

List of Subjects in 41 CFR Part 102–42 

Conflict of interests, Decorations, 

medals, awards, Foreign relations, 

Government property, Government 

property management. 

Dated: April 3, 2015. 

Denise Turner Roth, 

Acting Administrator of General Services. 

For the reasons set forth in the 

preamble, GSA is amending 41 CFR part 

102–42 as set forth below: 

PART 102–42—UTILIZATION, 

DONATION, AND DISPOSAL OF 

FOREIGN GIFTS AND DECORATIONS 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 102– 

42 is revised to read as follows: 

Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c); sec. 515, 5 

U.S.C. 7342 (91 Stat. 862). 

■ 2. Amend § 102–42.10 by revising the 

definition ‘‘Minimal value’’; and 

alphabetically adding the definition 

‘‘Spouse’’ to read as follows: 

§ 102–42.10 What definitions apply to this 

part? 

* * * * * 

Minimal value means a retail value in 

the United States at the time of 

acceptance that is at or below the dollar 

value established by GSA and published 

in a Federal Management Regulation 

(FMR) Bulletin at www.gsa.gov/

personalpropertypolicy. 

(1) GSA will adjust the definition of 

minimal value every three years, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State, 

to reflect changes in the Consumer Price 

Index for the immediately preceding 3- 

year period. 

(2) An employing agency may, by 

regulation, specify a lower value than 

this Government-wide value for its 

agency employees. 

Spouse means any individual who is 

lawfully married (unless legally 

separated), including an individual 

married to a person of the same sex who 

was legally married in a state or other 

jurisdiction (including a foreign 

country), that recognizes such 

marriages, regardless of whether or not 

the individual’s state of residency 

recognizes such marriages. The term 

spouse does not include individuals in 

a formal relationship recognized by a 

state, which is other than lawful 

marriage; it also does not include 

individuals in a marriage in a 

jurisdiction outside the United States 

that is not recognized as a lawful 

marriage under United States law.
