SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
During its normal regulatory review, GSA discovered that several of
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Numbers (No.) listed
in the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)
reference table at 501.106 were either omitted, incorrect, or had been
updated (i.e., Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) OMB Control Nos.
(9000 series) that are applicable to GSA acquisition requirements). For
any OMB Control No. added to the table via this final rule, an approved
OMB Control No. already existed. However, the approved OMB Control No.
was simply not reflected at 501.106 as intended.
Miscellaneous Updates to GSAR 501.106, Table 1
GSAR 511.171 and the corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0300 are
added to the table.
GSAR 511.204(c) is updated to remove the paragraph (c); it will now
read as 511.204.
GSAR 514.201-1 is updated to remove the subsection 1; it will now
read as 514.201.
GSAR 515.209-70(b) is updated to remove the subsection 70; it will
now read as 515.209.

to reflect the inclusion of 3090-0163. The other OMB Control Nos.
associated with GSAR 516.506 remain the same.
GSAR 532.111 and the corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0080 are
added to the table.

to reflect the removal of 3090-0262, and the inclusion of 3090-0248 and
3090-0302. The other OMB Control Nos. associated with GSAR 538.273
remain the same.
GSAR 546.302-71 is updated to remove the subsection 71; it will now
read as 546.302.

revise the OMB Control No.; it will now be read as 552.211-70 with OMB
Control No. 9000-0062.
Clause 552.232-5 is updated with the corresponding OMB Control Nos.
9000-0070 and 9000-0102 removed and replaced with 9000-0073. The other
OMB Control No. associated with 552.232-5 remains the same.
Clause 552.223-70 is changed to clause 552.223-72, which is
associated with OMB Control No. 3090-0205.
Clause 552.236-15 is updated with the corresponding OMB Control No.

Provision 552.238-118 and corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0303
are added to the table.
Clause 552.238-119 and the corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0303
are added to the table.
Provision 552.270-1 and the corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0086
are added to the table.
GSAR 570.117 and the corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0086 are
added to the table.
GSAR 570.702 and the corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0086 are
added to the table.
GSAR 570.703(c) is updated to remove the paragraph (c); it will now
read as 570.703.
GSAR 570.802(b) and (c) are updated to remove the paragraphs (b)
and (c); it will now read as 570.802.
GSA Form GSA-176 and its corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0287
are added to the table.
GSA Form GSA-308 and its corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0027
are added to the table.
GSA Form GSA-850 and its corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0283

changed to 9000-0073.
GSA Form GSA-3665 and its corresponding OMB Control No. 3090-0283
are added to the table.
Lastly, GSA Form GSA-7437 and its corresponding OMB Control No.
3090-0274 are added to the table. OMB Control No. Update to GSAR
Provision 552.270.1.
Further review identified that the OMB Control No. referenced in
GSAR provision 552.270-1 was incorrect.
The current OMB Control No. 3090-0163 referenced in GSAR provision
552.270-1(f) is not accurate and is not needed in the provision. This
OMB Control No. applies to procurement-related information collections
associated with solicitations issued for various supplies and services
in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12,
14, 15 and 16 procedures.
3090-0163 was therefore replaced with OMB Control No. 3090-0086 in
the table at 501.106 as it is specific to GSA lease solicitation
information, which is used to obtain information about property being
offered for lease to house Federal agencies and to obtain pricing
information regarding offered services and lease commissions.
Therefore, OMB Control No. 3090-0086 is more appropriate for the GSAR
prescription 570.702 and GSAR provision 552.270-1.
GSAR provision 552.270-1 is amended to remove the paragraph (f),
which currently references the incorrect OMB Control No. Additionally,
including an OMB Control No. is not a normal convention for a provision
or clause; therefore, to be consistent with GSAR provisions and
clauses, this paragraph is removed.
II. Publication of This Final Rule for Public Comment Is Not Required
The statute that applies to the publication of the GSAR is the
Office of Federal Procurement Policy statute (codified at title 41 of
the United States Code). Specifically, 41 U.S.C. 1707(a)(1)
[[Page 105476]]
requires that a procurement policy, regulation, procedure or form
(including an amendment or modification thereof) must be published for
public comment if it relates to the expenditure of appropriated funds,
and has either a significant effect beyond the internal operating
procedures of the agency issuing the policy, regulation, procedure, or
form, or has a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors
or offerors. This rule is not required to be published for public
comment because GSA is not issuing a new regulation; rather, this rule
is technical in nature and is merely updating information in the table
located at GSAR 501.106 and removing an incorrect OMB Control No.
reference at GSAR provision 552.270-1.
III. Executive Order 12866, 13563 and 14094
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O.
13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits,
of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility.
E.O. 14094 supplements and reaffirms the principles, structures, and
definitions governing contemporary regulatory review established in
E.O. 12866 and E.O. 13563. The Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs (OIRA) in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
determined this rule is not a significant regulatory action and,
therefore, is not subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993.
IV. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as amended by
the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,
generally provides that before a ``major rule'' may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes
a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. The General Services
Administration will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States. A
major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in
the Federal Register. OIRA has determined this rule is not a ``major
rule'' under 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget has determined that this
is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
V. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) does not
apply to this rule because an opportunity for public comment is not
required to be given for this rule under 41 U.S.C. 1707(a)(1).
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none
has been prepared.
VI. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does apply;
however these changes to the GSAR do not impose additional information
collection requirements to the paperwork burden previously approved
under the Office of Management and Budget Control Numbers referenced in
the rule.
