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 2022 edition. This agenda was developed under the guidelines of 
Executive Orders 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' and 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. The public may 
provide comments on rules via http://www.regulations.gov.
    The Unified Agenda, including previous versions, are available at 
www.reginfo.gov. 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. 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.

Regulatory Secretariat Division, 1800 F Street NW, 7th Floor,

186. General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); 
GSAR Case 2020-G510, Federal Supply Schedule Economic Price Adjustment 
[3090-AK20]

    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 clarify, update, and incorporate Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) 
program policies and procedures regarding economic price adjustment, 
including updating related prescriptions and clauses. This rule will 
provide unique guidance for contracts based on commercial price lists 
or not, and contracts with data reporting requirements or not.

    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c); 40 U.S.C. 502
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to 
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) 
to streamline and clarify the requirements for use of Federal Supply 
Schedules by eligible non-Federal entities, such as state and local 
governments. The rule is intended to increase understanding of the 
existing guidance and expand access to GSA sources of supply by 
eligible non-Federal entities, as authorized by historic statutes 
including the Federal Supply Schedules Usage Act of 2010. This rule 
supports underserved communities, promoting equity in the Federal 
Government.

G512, System for Award Management Representation for Leases [3090-AK22]

    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.

    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to 
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) 
to revise internal agency approval procedures to allow the use of an 
economic price adjustment clause for deregulated electric supplies

191. General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); 
GSAR Case 2021-G530, Extension of Federal Minimum Wage to Lease 
Acquisitions [3090-AK51]

    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 extend the requirements of Executive Order 14026 (Increasing the 
Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors) and Department of Labor 
regulations (29 CFR part 23) to lease acquisitions where the Davis 
Bacon Act applies by requiring inclusion of the related Federal 
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause. Generally, the FAR does not apply 
to leasehold acquisitions of real property. However, several FAR 
clauses have been adopted based on requirements through GSAR part 570. 
The Federal minimum wage requirements apply to Government lease 
acquisitions where the Davis Bacon Act applies and extension of the FAR 
requirements will ensure compliance. The Executive order seeks to 
increase efficiency and cost savings in the work performed by parties 
who contract with the Federal Government by increasing to $15.00 the 
hourly minimum wage paid to those contractors. This rule promotes 
economic resilience, and improves the buying power of U.S. citizens.

192. General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR): GSAR Case 2022-
G517 Single-Use Plastic Packaging Reduction [3090-AK60]

    Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
    Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is exploring 
regulations that will reduce single-use plastic consumption by the 
agency. Single-use plastic poses an environmental risk that is 
documented as having the potential to impact biodiversity. To learn 
more, GSA published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) 
to ask industry about what a change to the single-use plastics industry 
would entail. The questions focus on packaging materials with the 
overall intent of addressing not only the items that the Government 
intentionally consumes, but those products that the Government 
unintentionally consumes (such as packaging) that then has to be 
disposed of once the item is delivered.
