GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
41 CFR Part 101-38
[FPMR Amendment G-106]
Passenger Sedan/Station Wagon Replacement Standards
AGENCY: Federal Supply Service, GSA.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation updates minimum replacement standards for
sedans and station wagons for executive agencies. These standards were
initially published in Federal Property Management Regulations
Temporary Regulation G-55 on January 28, 1992. GSA has decided to make
these minimum replacement standards permanent. This amendment will
codify replacement standards of 3 years and 60,000 miles for sedans and
station wagons for executive agencies.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 1993.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael W. Moses, Fleet Management
Division, 703-305-6272.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The General Services Administration (GSA)
has determined that this is not a major rule for the purposes of
Executive Order 12291 of February 17, 1981, because it is not likely to
result in an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; a
major increase in costs to consumers or others; or significant adverse
effects. GSA has based all administrative decisions underlying this
rule on adequate information concerning the need for and consequences
of this rule; has determined that the potential benefits to society
from this rule outweigh the potential costs and has maximized the net
benefits; and has chosen the alternative approach involving the least
net cost to society.
FPMR Temporary Regulation G-55 established a minimum replacement
standard of 3 years or 60,000 miles for passenger sedans and station
wagons instead of the 6 years or 60,000 miles replacement standard
contained in 41 CFR 101-38.402(a) for such vehicles. The regulation
allowed all executive agencies the option to replace their passenger
sedans and station wagons on a more timely basis if they deemed it to
be in their best interest and cost beneficial.
GSA originally intended to publish a supplement to FPMR Temp. Reg.
G-55 extending the expiration date until June 30, 1994. GSA has
reconsidered its earlier decision and decided to codify the regulation,
making the replacement standards in G-55 permanent.
