Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions

AGENCY: General Services Administration (GSA).

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

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

SUMMARY: This agenda announces the proposed regulatory actions that GSA 
plans for the next 12 months and those that were completed since the 
fall 2019 edition. This agenda was developed under the guidelines of 
Executive Orders 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' as amended, 
Executive Order 13771 ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory 
Costs,'' and Executive Order 13563 ``Improving Regulation and 
Regulatory Review.'' GSA's purpose in publishing this agenda is to 
allow interested persons an opportunity to participate in the 
rulemaking process. GSA also invites interested persons to recommend 
existing significant regulations for review to determine whether they 
should be modified or eliminated. Published proposed rules may be 
reviewed in their entirety at the Government's rulemaking website at 
http://www.regulations.gov.
    Since the fall 2007 edition, the internet has been the basic means 
for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda will 
be available online at www.reginfo.gov, in a format that offers users a 
greatly enhanced ability to obtain information from the Agenda 
database.
    Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the 
regulatory flexibility agendas required by the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 602), GSA's printed agenda entries include only:
    (1) Rules that are in the Agency's regulatory flexibility agenda, 
in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are 
likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities; and
    (2) Any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review 
under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain 
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda 
requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in 
the Unified Agenda published on the internet. In addition, for fall 
editions of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan will continue to be 
printed in the Federal Register, as in past years, including GSA's 
regulatory plan.

Schedules

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is issuing this 
Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin the process of 
amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation 
(GSAR) to implement section 876 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232) as it relates to 
Federal Supply Schedule contracts. Section 876 amended 41 U.S.C. 
3306(c) by providing an exception to the requirement to consider price 
as an evaluation factor for the award of certain indefinite-delivery, 
indefinite-quantity contracts and Federal Supply Schedule contracts. By 
this ANPRM, GSA invites public comment on the substance of the issues 
contained. GSA will consider comments received in response to this 
ANPRM to develop proposed updates in a future rulemaking. A separate 
case, GSAR Case 2020-G503, will address the implementation of Section 
876 in relation to other indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity 
contracts.

194. General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); GSAR Case 2016-
G511, Contract Requirements for GSA Information Systems

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to 
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) 
to streamline and update requirements for contracts that involve GSA 
information systems. GSA's unique policies on cybersecurity and other 
information technology requirements have been previously communicated 
through other means. By incorporating these requirements into the GSAR, 
the GSAR will provide centralized guidance to ensure consistent 
application across the organization. Integrating these requirements 
into the GSAR will also allow industry to provide public comments 
through the rulemaking process.
    This rule will require contracting officers to incorporate 
applicable GSA cybersecurity requirements within the statement of work 
to ensure compliance with Federal cybersecurity requirements and 
implement best practices for preventing cyber incidents. Contract 
requirements for internal information systems, external contractor 
systems, cloud systems, and mobile systems will be covered by this 
rule. This rule will also update existing GSAR provision 552.239-70, 
Information Technology Security Plan and Security Authorization, and 
GSAR clause 552.239-71, Security Requirements for Unclassified 
Information Technology Resources, to only require the provision and 
clause when the contract will involve information or information 
systems connected to a GSA network.

201.  General Service Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); GSAR Case 
2020-G512, System for Award Management Representation for Leases

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to 
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) 
to remove the requirement for lease offerors to have an active System 
for Award Management (SAM) registration when submitting offers and 
instead allow offers up until the time of award to obtain an active SAM 
registration. Entities seeking Federal leases differ from the typical 
entities seeking Federal contracts in that common practice is to form a 
new entity for every new lease offer. Requiring representations from 
these entities prior to offer submission restricts competition. In 
addition, the tools in SAM typically used in the Government's 
evaluation of offers do not add value when evaluating lease offers.

202.  General Service Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); GSAR Case 
2020-G513, Lease Payment Procedures

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to 
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) 
to establish a new clause to allow for a pass-through of taxes under 
payments for lease construction. The real estate tax base for a newly 
built or renovated building is uncertain until a tax assessment is 
completed, which can be a year or more after occupancy in some 
jurisdictions. Removing the tax base from the shell rent of a lease and 
providing a pass-through of the real estate taxes in lieu of a real 
estate tax adjustment over a base during the term of the lease will 
remove an element of risk from the pricing of rent, will result in 
greater competition, and will lower rental rates.

203.  General Service Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); GSAR Case 
2020-G517, Contracting Exemption for Regulated Utilities

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to 
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) 
to remove the requirement to establish a contract for services provided 
by regulated public utilities. This rule provides a deviation to 
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 41.201 to remove the unnecessary 
and burdensome requirements to seek bilateral written contracts for 
services provided by public utilities and to implement new, more 
efficient procedures in the GSAR to streamline the process. This 
deviation only applies to the acquisition of services from regulated 
public utilities. Based on review of 31 U.S.C. 1501(a)(8) and opinions 
from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the procedures set 
forth at FAR 41.2 are not necessary in order to comply with applicable 
fiscal law regarding the recording of obligations.

204.  General Service Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); GSAR Case 
2020-G534, Extension of Prohibition on Certain Telecommunications and 
Video Surveillance Services or Equipment to Lease Acquisitions

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Regulatory.
    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the 
General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to extend 
the requirements of section 889 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act (NDAA) for FY 19 (Pub. L. 115-232) to lease acquisitions by 
requiring inclusion of the related Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
provisions and clause. Generally, the FAR does not apply to leasehold 
acquisitions of real property. However, several FAR provisions have 
been adopted based on statutory requirements through GSAR part 570. 
Section 889 of the NDAA for FY 19 applies to Government lease 
acquisitions and extension of the FAR requirements will ensure 
compliance.

Involving Early Industry Engagement

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Deregulatory.
    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the

[[Page 52776]]

General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to adopt 
an additional project delivery method for construction, construction 
manager as constructor (CMc). The current FAR and GSAR lacks detailed 
coverage differentiating various construction project delivery methods. 
GSA's policies on CMc have been previously issued through other means. 
By incorporating CMc into the GSAR and differentiating for various 
construction methods, the GSAR provides centralized guidance to ensure 
consistent application of construction project principles across the 
organization.
