requirements may result in the issuance of regulations that are not 
included in this agenda. There is no legal significance to the 
omission of an item from this listing. Also, the dates shown for 
the steps of each action are estimated and are not commitments to 
act on or by the dates shown.

     Published proposed rules may be reviewed in their entirety at 
the Government's rulemaking website at http://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Laurieann Duarte, Regulatory and 
Federal Assistance Division, Room 4035, GS Building, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD, GSA, and NASA, under their several 
statutory authorities, jointly issue and maintain the FAR through

     The electronic version of the FAR, including changes, can be

CFR Citation: 48 CFR 4; 48 CFR 12; 48 CFR 52

Abstract: This rule amends the FAR to require that contractors report 
specific subcontract awards to a public database. The Federal Funding 
Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA) (Pub. L. 109-282) 
requires the existence and operation of a searchable website that 
provides public access to information about Federal expenditures. The 
FFATA specifically requires that a pilot program be established to test 
the collection and accession of subcontract award data. As a result, 
subcontracts awarded and funded with Federal appropriated funds will be 
disclosed to the public in a single searchable website. This is not a 
significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review 
under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and 
Review,'' dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 
5 U.S.C. 804.

Abstract: This rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to 
change the provision at 52.209-5, Certification Regarding Debarment,

notified of any delinquent taxes for which the liability remains
