41 CFR Part 101-49

[FPMR Amdt. H-202]
RIN 3090-AG97

Change in Consumer Price Index Minimal Value

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide Policy, GSA.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pub. L. 95-105 requires that at 3-year intervals following
January 1, 1981, minimal value be redefined by the Administrator of
General Services, after consultation with the Secretary of State, to
reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index for the immediately
preceding 3-year period. The required consultation has been completed
and the minimal value has been increased to mean $260 or less as of
January 1, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective January 1, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Martha Caswell, Director, Personal
Property Management Policy Division (202-501-3846).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Executive Order 12866

The General Services Administration (GSA) has determined that this
is not a significant rule for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 of
September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

This rule is not required to be published in the Federal Register
for notice and comment. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rule does
not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements, or the
collection of information from offerors, contractors, or members of the
public which require the approval of OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.

D. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Reform Act

This final rule is also exempt from congressional review prescribed
under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and
personnel.
