Abstract
This agenda announces the proposed regulatory actions that GSA plans for the next 12 months and those that were completed since the fall 2021 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. 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.

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 2021 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. The public may provide comments on rules via <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>.
The Unified Agenda, including previous versions are available at
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>.
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.

2022-G517 Single-Use Plastic Packaging Reduction [3090-AK60]
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: GSA is exploring regulation 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 better understand the cost impact of such a rule
change, GSA proposes publishing an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rule
(ANPRM) to ask industry for feedback as to what potential barriers,
costs, and reporting mechanisms could be utilized for such a rule
change.

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.

equipment and services in lease acquisitions pursuant to section 889 of
the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019
The rule will implement the section 889 requirements in lease

Regulation (FAR) provisions and clause. This rule supports the national
security priority.

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
under fixed-price contracts. This rule will better account for regional
variability in prices, portions of which are controlled by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission under section 205 and 206 of the Federal
Power Act and other regulatory bodies.

209. 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.

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 agency supplemental clause regarding payments for non-
commercial fixed price contracts for supplies or services. This
payments clause provides that, in certain transactions, the Government
must pay a contractor without submission of an invoice or voucher. GSA
has determined that this is no longer in the best interest of the
Government. This proposed rule will additionally amend any
corresponding references to the clause.

Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)

215. General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR);
GSAR Case 2016-G511, Contract Requirements for GSA Information Systems
[3090-AJ84]
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending 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. This rule supports the national
security priority.
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.
