Title: Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Amendment 2009-02; Case 2006-102-1; Motor Vehicle Management
Abstract: An amendment to FMR 102-34 final rule was drafted to incorporate recent changes in the program. The significant changes included in the interim rule published in May 2006 include: 1. The Fleet Average Fuel Economy Standards for FY 2005, 2006, and 2007 for light trucks are revised. 2. Motor vehicle identification requirements are changed. All required identifiers are now to be on the license plate: "For Official Use Only, U.S. Government," and Federal agency or bureau identification. Previously, the identifiers were on decals that were placed on the vehicles. A waiver is currently allowing agencies to deviate from the decal requirement. GSA intends to amend the FMR to reflect the practice currently permitted under the waiver. 3. Lorton Prison in Virginia, the supplier of license plates for a number of years, is closed, so the GSA Federal Vehicle Policy Division (MTV) initiated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UNICOR to provide license plates to all Federal agencies. 4. A letter code on the license plate now identifies a specific agency's vehicles. For example, the letter G designates GSA Fleet. 5. The Federal Management Regulation includes a provision under which the head of an agency (or designee) may authorize a limited exemption to the display of U.S. Government license plates and motor vehicle identification upon written certification. Motor vehicles used for common administrative purposes and not directly connected to investigative, law enforcement, or intelligence duties involving security activities are ineligible for this exemption. A deviation was granted after the events of September 11, 2001, to remove the restriction as to motor vehicles used for administrative purposes. GSA amended the FMR to reflect the practice currently permitted under the deviation as part of the interim rule. 6. The Federal Motor Vehicle Fleet Report. This reporting is now accomplished through the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST). FAST is an Internet-based reporting system used by GSA and the Department of Energy to capture motor vehicle inventory, cost, fuel, and use data from all Federal agencies. 7. Agencies must have an agency-wide fleet management information system that will link all fleet data throughout the agency and interface with the FAST.
