Federal Management Regulation; Updating the FMR With Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Language

Resumo

GSA is issuing a final rule that makes technical amendments to the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) regarding gender neutrality. These technical amendments result in more inclusive language by replacing gender-specific pronouns (e.g., he, she, his, her) with non- gendered pronouns. GSA is also correcting minor grammatical and administrative errors in FMR parts 102-5 and 102-42. These changes are grammatical and technical in nature and do not result in added costs or associated policy changes.
