General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation; Immediate 
and Highest Level Owner for High-Security Leased Space; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Office of Acquisition Policy, General Services Administration 
(GSA).

ACTION: Technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The General Services Administration is issuing this technical 
amendment to amend the General Services Administration Acquisition 
Regulation (GSAR) to make a needed technical amendment. In error, the 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) was not fully updated as a result of 
the amendment. Therefore, this correcting amendment is issued in order 
to update the CFR to include the amendatory language not included as 
originally intended at time of publication of the interim rule (GSAR 
2021-G527).

DATES: Effective: February 15, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For clarification of content, contact 
Mr. Stephen Carroll, Procurement Analyst, at [email protected] or 817-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2021, GSA amended the General 
Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) through an 
interim rule (86 FR 34966 \1\). The interim rule for GSAR Case 2021-
G527, Immediate and Highest Level Owner for High-Security Leased Space, 
was issued to implement Section 3 and Section 5 requirements of the 
Secure Federal Leases from Espionage and Suspicious Entanglement Act 
(the Act or Secure Federal LEASEs Act). The interim rule amended 48 CFR 
501, 552, and 570. 48 CFR 501 and 552 were appropriately updated in the 
CFR at the time of publication. 48 CFR 570 was not. Therefore, this 
correcting amendment updates the CFR by adding paragraphs (c) and (d) 
at GSAR 570.703.
