Abstract
This agenda announces the proposed regulatory actions that GSA plans for the next 12 months and those that were completed since the fall 2020 edition. This agenda was developed under the guidelines of Executive Orders 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' 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.

SUMMARY: This agenda announces the proposed regulatory actions that GSA
plans for the next 12 months and those that were completed since the
fall 2020 edition. This agenda was developed under the guidelines of
Executive Orders 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' 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 <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>.
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 <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>, 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.

210. General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); GSAR Case 2016-
G511, Contract Requirements for GSA Information Systems
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 policies on cybersecurity and other
information technology requirements have been previously issued and
communicated by the Office of the Chief Information Officer through the
GSA public website. 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.

Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to

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. A
separate case, GSAR Case 2020-G503, will address the implementation of
Section 876 in relation to other indefinite-delivery, indefinite-
quantity contracts.

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 for non-high-security
space 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.

G513, Lease Payment Procedures
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
[[Page 41289]]
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.

Acquisitions
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c); 5 U.S.C. 801; Pub. L. 115-232
sec. 889
Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)
to extend the requirements of section 889 of the National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 (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 applies to Government
lease acquisitions and extension of the FAR requirements will ensure
compliance.
