This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications

on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
GSA published § 102-118.196 in the
Federal Register
at 69 FR 57619, September 24, 2004, as an addition to part 118 of Title 41 (41 CFR part 118). The amendment was published as a final rule without a comment period and required that Transportation Service Providers (TSPs) refund the value of expired, unused tickets to GSA's Audit Division when a ticket purchasing agency fails to notify the TSP of a cancellation.
Since its publication, GSA has received feedback from sources who wanted to offer comments at the time the rule was originally published. After receipt of contacts from these sources,
( printed page 9233)
GSA agreed to remove this specific provision in its current form.
In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to remove the existing provision, and this FMR does so.
This regulation 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 is not required to be published in the
Federal Register
for notice and comment as per the exemption specified in 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2); therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601,
et seq.,
does not apply.
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.
