GSA is amending the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) to recommend that agencies annually submit to GSA their prior fiscal year transaction level transportation data for freight and cargo, including household goods (HHG), procured either through contract or tender, as well as their transportation management information. The request for transaction level data and transportation management information is a change from the Notice of the Proposed Rulemaking's recommendation that agencies annually submit to GSA a summary of their transportation activities. Specifically, this rule recommends that agencies report transaction level transportation data for freight and cargo, including HHG, such as shipments by procurement method, spending, transportation service providers (TSP), and shipping profiles. This rule also recommends that agencies report their transportation management information, such as environmental justice information, agency points of contact, and transportation officer warrant information and training data. This rule will provide GSA the data necessary for analysis, which will assist GSA in developing enhanced Governmentwide transportation policies to make transportation management programs more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: GSA is amending the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) to
recommend that agencies annually submit to GSA their prior fiscal year
transaction level transportation data for freight and cargo, including
household goods (HHG), procured either through contract or tender, as
well as their transportation management information. The request for
transaction level data and transportation management information is a
change from the Notice of the Proposed Rulemaking's recommendation that
agencies annually submit to GSA a summary of their transportation
activities.
Specifically, this rule recommends that agencies report transaction
level transportation data for freight and cargo, including HHG, such as
shipments by procurement method, spending, transportation service
providers (TSP), and shipping profiles. This rule also recommends that
agencies report their transportation management information, such as
environmental justice information, agency points of contact, and
transportation officer warrant information and training data.
This rule will provide GSA the data necessary for analysis, which
will assist GSA in developing enhanced Governmentwide transportation
policies to make transportation management programs more efficient,
cost-effective, and sustainable.

DATES: Effective: September 22, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

In almost every purchase of supplies and equipment from vendors,
something must be moved and delivered. Since the early 1860s, the
Federal Government has procured transportation using either a contract
or a tender of service (also called a rate tender). There are Federal
transportation laws and regulations that govern each of the five modes
of transportation (air, water, pipeline, rail, and ground). Each mode
has advantages and disadvantages that should be evaluated for cost,
sustainability, speed of delivery, etc. The expense of moving this
freight or cargo, including HHG, can be managed by the agency,
consolidated as a shared service across agencies, or the TSP, depending
upon the contract or tender of service terms.
Over the last several years, GSA has worked with the Governmentwide
Transportation Policy Council (GTPC) to identify key transportation
performance measures, data elements, and collection standards necessary
for more informed decision-making. The GTPC is composed of
representatives from civilian agencies and the Department of Defense,
and provides guidance in the planning and development of uniform
transportation policies and procedures. Best in class organizations
exhibit a consistent set of behaviors to identify and implement
improved processes that maximize the efficiency, cost effectiveness,
and sustainability of their transportation operations. Organizations
seeking continuous improvement monitor, measure, and compare their
performance against other organizations to improve return on
investments, generate greater savings, enhance supply chain, and
improve sustainability. The GTPC supports data collection as a
necessary first step to improve transportation management.
In 2009, GSA contracted for a Governmentwide transportation
management study. The study concluded that ``most agencies have no
single point of accountability for outbound transportation, have
limited transparency into actual expenditures, and usually do not
identify the most appropriate procurement method.'' The study also
identified inadequate research into the acquisition and selection of a
TSP, and a lack of standard training, expertise, and operational
approaches to transportation management. A 2012 GSA study

[[Page 57102]]

identified the need for reliable Governmentwide transportation data.
This rule recommends that agencies report transaction level
transportation data not otherwise provided in compliance with 31 U.S.C.
3726 to GSA's Transportation Audits Division, as well as agency
transportation management information. The request for transaction
level data is a change from the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking's
recommendation that agencies annually submit to GSA a summary of their
transportation activities.
The Federal Interagency Transportation System (FITS), a Web-based
tool, will be used to capture an agency's voluntary submission of
transaction level transportation data for freight and cargo, including
HHG, procured either through contract or tender. FITS also can capture
agency transportation management information. An FMR bulletin will
provide information to agencies on the annual recommended submission
process.
GSA's analysis of the data and information submitted by agencies
will enable agencies to make decisions based upon factual information
and will enable GSA to develop enhanced Governmentwide transportation
policies to make transportation management programs more efficient,
cost-effective, and sustainable.

B. Public Comment and Response

In the proposed rule published at 79 FR 41667 on July 17, 2014, GSA
provided the public a 90-day comment period which ended on October 15,
2014. GSA received one comment from an anonymous source.
Comment: ``Reporting is a great idea to take part in. The data that
could be collected and used for analysis to better serve transportation
management is what needs to be done. This allows the GSA to better
understand where things can be improved and what could be the reason
why it is not working more efficiently. The only way to create [sic]
more sustainable and efficient transportation management is by
collecting as much information to better understand.''
Response: No changes were made as a result of the comment.

C. Substantive Changes

This final rule:
Revises 41 CFR part 102-117, subpart K, to recommend that
agencies submit to GSA their prior fiscal year transaction level
transportation data for freight and cargo, including HHG, procured
either through contract or tender, as well as transportation management
information. It is intended that agencies would voluntarily report
transaction level transportation data not otherwise provided in
compliance with 31 U.S.C. 3726 to the GSA's Transportation Audits
Division.
Redesignates the sections in 41 CFR part 102-117, subpart
L.

D. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

Executive Orders (E.O.) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O.
13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits,
of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility.
This is not a significant regulatory action, and therefore, will not be
subject to review under Section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning
and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This final rule is not a major
rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

These revisions are not substantive, and therefore, this final rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601, et seq. The final rule is also exempt from the
Administrative Procedure Act per 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2), because it applies
to agency management or personnel.

F. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the final
changes to the FMR do not impose recordkeeping or information
collection requirements, or the collection of information from
offerors, contractors, or members of the public that require the
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501,
et seq.

G. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

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

Subpart K--Transportation Reporting

Sec. 102-117.345 What is the Federal Interagency Transportation
System (FITS)?

The Federal Interagency Transportation System (FITS) is a Web-based
tool used to capture an agency's transaction level transportation data
for freight and cargo, including household goods (HHG), procured either
through contract or tender that is otherwise not currently reported by
agencies to GSA in compliance with 31 U.S.C. 3726, as well as agency
transportation management information.

Sec. 102-117.350 Do I have to report?

No; however all agencies are strongly encouraged to report for the
preceding fiscal year through FITS by October 31.

Sec. 102-117.355 Why should I report?

(a) Reporting your agency's prior fiscal year transaction level
transportation data for freight and cargo, including HHG, procured
either through contract or tender, as well as your transportation
management information will enable GSA to:
(1) Assess the magnitude and key characteristics of transportation
within

[[Page 57103]]

the Government (e.g., how much agencies spend; what type of commodity
is shipped; most used lanes, etc.); and
(2) Analyze and recommend changes to Governmentwide policies,
standards, practices, and procedures to improve Government
transportation management.
(b) Agencies that choose to report may identify opportunities
within their organization to improve transportation management program
performance as a result of the data analytics.

Sec. 102-117.356 What information should I report?

You should report your agency's prior fiscal year transaction level
transportation data for freight and cargo, including HHG, and
transportation management information. Transportation data that
currently is otherwise provided to GSA in compliance with 31 U.S.C.
3726 is not requested. Transaction level transportation data submitted
by agencies will remain confidential. Transportation management
information should also be reported and should include related
environmental information, agency points of contact, and transportation
officer warrant and training data.

Sec. 102-117.360 How do I submit information to GSA through FITS?

GSA will post a Federal Management Regulation bulletin at http://gsa.gov/fmrbulletin, which will detail the FITS submission process,
including specific data requested, and provide information concerning
available FITS training.
