Federal Management Regulation; Real Property Policies Update

The General Services Administration is amending the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) to update the legal citations to conform to Public Law 107-217 and to incorporate additional policy guidance. Public Law 107-217, which was enacted on August 21, 2002, revised, restated, and recodified, without substantive change, certain laws related to public buildings, property, and works in Title 40 of the United States Code. Accordingly, this final rule cancels and replaces in its entirety FMR Amendment C-1 issued December 13, 2002. In addition to updating the legal citations, this final rule implements new accessibility standards for Federal facilities and provides additional real property policy coverage on the integrated workplace, sustainable development, outleasing, telework, siting antennas on Federal property, seismic safety, screening of excess real property, and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended.
