Sec. 102-2.85  What are the reasons for writing to GSA about FMR deviations?

    The reasons for writing are to:

[[Page 10]]

    (a) Explain your agency's rationale for the deviation. Before it can 
adequately comment on a potential deviation from the FMR, GSA must know 
why it is needed. GSA will compare your need against the applicable 
policies and regulations.
    (b) Obtain clarification from GSA as to whether statutes, Executive 
orders, or other controlling policies, which may not be evident in the 
regulation, preclude deviating from the FMR for the reasons stated.
    (c) Establish a timeframe for using a deviation.
    (d) Identify potential changes to the FMR.
    (e) Identify the benefits and other results that the agency expects 
to achieve.
