SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In the past, GSA printed multi-part GBL and GTR forms for distribution to Federal agencies. GSA has not printed these forms in many years. The FMR instructs agencies to contact GSA for copies of GBL and GTR forms in preprinted or blank formats. Agencies that need copies of these forms can now find them available online in the GSA Forms Library ( https://www.gsa.gov/reference/forms ). The FMR also instructs agencies that do not use pre-numbered GBL or GTR forms to contact GSA for assigned sets of serialized numbers. However, since agencies are already required to establish administrative procedures such as a unique numbering system tracking numbers, GSA no longer provides serialized numbers to agencies.

Upon publication of FMR Case 2018-1102-5 in the Federal Register , the sections that discuss GBL and GTR forms and their numbers, along with other sections, will be updated.
