    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.
