prolonged periods to remove property.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
A proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on February
23, 2009 (74 FR 14510) to solicit comments on a proposed change to FMR
section 102-36.135 (41 CFR 102-36.135). The language used in that
section caused confusion with our customers and resulted in
unnecessarily prolonged removal periods. The proposed revision would
make it clear that the acquiring agency is responsible for scheduling
and coordinating the property removal once the acquiring agency
receives notification from GSA that they have been allocated the
property. No comments were received.
B. Executive Order 12866
This final rule is excepted from the definition of ``regulation''
or ``rule'' under Section 3(d)(3) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993 and, therefore, was not
subject to review under Section 6(b) of that Executive Order.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule was not required to be published in the Federal
Register for comment. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply. However, a proposed rule was published on February 23, 2009
in order to elicit comments and to provide transparency in the
promulgation of federal policies.
D. 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.
E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This final rule is exempt from Congressional review under 5 U.S.C.
801 since it relates solely to agency management and personnel.

follows:
Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c).

2. Revise Sec. 102-36.135 to read as follows:
Sec. 102-36.135 How much time do we have to pick up excess personal
property that has been approved for transfer?
Normally, you have 15 calendar days from the date of GSA allocation
to pick up the excess personal property for transfer, and you are
responsible for scheduling and coordinating the property removal with
the holding agency. If additional removal time is required, you are
responsible for requesting such additional removal time.
