This rulemaking changes the methods by which GSA-controlled space is identified and measured, eliminates the specific physical description of the components of standard level alterations, and substitutes budget guidance for alterations, providing customer agencies flexibility in designing space to meet their mission needs. The rule is being rewritten in a plain language, question and answer format to make it easier to understand and use.
