AGENCY: Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP), General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: GSA is issuing a bulletin for the FMR, titled ``Persons who
are Nursing in Public Buildings.'' This bulletin supplements a previous
bulletin on the subject, and clarifies space requirements and
availability of lactation spaces in public buildings for both Federal
employees and members of the public.
DATES: Applicable: December 28, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chris Coneeney, Director, Real
Property Policy Division, Office of Government-wide Policy, GSA at 202-
501-2956, or email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c2b0a7a3aeb2b0adb2a7b0b6bbb2adaeaba1bb82a5b1a3eca5adb4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="196b7c7875696b76697c6b6d60697675707a60597e6a78377e766f">[email protected]</span></a>. Please cite FMR Bulletin
2021-1.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This bulletin supplements FMR Bulletin 2011-
B1, ``Nursing Mothers in the Federal Workplace,'' issued August 30,
2011. This bulletin clarifies the space requirements associated with
the provision of lactation rooms in certain public buildings, reaffirms
the availability of lactation space for Federal employees, as provided
in section 4207 of subtitle C of title IV of the ``Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act'' (Pub. L. 111-148; March 23, 2010), and
affirms the availability of lactation rooms for members of the public,
as provided in the ``Fairness for Breastfeeding Mothers Act of 2019''
(Pub. L. 116-30; July 25, 2019). Lactation space in buildings leased by
the Federal Government is not covered by the requirements of the
``Fairness for Breastfeeding Mothers Act of 2019,'' and is addressed in
Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Bulletin 2011-B1 (August 30, 2011).
Finally, this bulletin also reaffirms that a person may breastfeed
their child on Federal Government property, if they are authorized to
be present at that location (see 41 CFR 102-74.426).
In the event of a conflict between this bulletin and FMR Bulletin
2011-B1, the provisions of this bulletin will control. This bulletin
will remain in effect until expressly superseded or cancelled.
