View Rule

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) amended the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) by revising its mail management policy. This amendment revises the term ''commercial payment process'' and removes the requirement that agencies pay the United States Postal Service (USPS) using only commercial payment processes. This final rule changes the date of the annual mail management report, removes the description of facility and program mail manager responsibilities, and requires all agencies to expand existing mail security policy to include guidance for employees receiving incoming and sending outgoing official mail at alternative worksites. Finally, this final rule encourages agencies to implement the process of mail consolidation, increase sustainable activities in their mail programs, and makes editorial and technical corrections. This case is included in GSA's retrospective review of existing regulations under Executive Order 13563.
