General Services Administration
Acquisition Regulation; Deviations
AGENCIES: General Services
Administration (GSA), Office of the
Chief Acquisition Officer.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration (GSA) is amending the
General Services Administration
Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) by
issuing a final rule to modify existing
policy on obtaining deviations from
both the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) and GSAR. This final rule will
include revised procedures for obtaining
deviations and will clarify the term
‘‘class deviation,’’ and add clarification
regarding the term ‘‘contract action’’.
DATES: Effective Date: March 29, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT The
Regulatory Secretariat (VIR), Room
4035, GS Building, Washington, DC,
20405, (202) 501–4755, for information
pertaining to status or publication
schedules. For clarification of content,
contact Mr. Ernest Woodson,
Procurement Analyst, at (202) 501–
3775. Please cite Amendment 2005–01,
GSAR case 2004–G508 (Change 14).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The FAR prescribes policies and
procedures for authorizing deviations
from the FAR when necessary to meet
the specific needs and requirements of
an agency unless precluded by law,
executive order, or regulation. FAR
1.402 provides that the development
and testing of new techniques and
methods of acquisition should not be
stifled simply because such actions
would require a FAR deviation.
However, deviations to the FAR and the
GSAR have raised questions indicating
the need to increase the involvement of
the Office of the Chief Acquisition
Officer. Therefore, this final rule
modifies GSAR 501.403 and 501.404 to
include revised procedures for obtaining
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
15779
deviations and clarify the term ‘‘class
deviation,’’ and adds GSAR 501.404–70
to clarify the term ‘‘contract action.’’
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.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply to this rule. This final rule
does not constitute a significant FAR
revision within the meaning of FAR
1.501 and Public Law 98–577, and
publication for public comments is not
required. However, GSA will consider
comments from small entities
concerning the affected GSAR Subpart
501.4 in accordance with 5 USC. 610.
Interested must parties must submit
such comments separately and should
cite 5 U.S.C. 601, et. seq. (GSAR case
2004–G508), in correspondence.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply because the changes to the
GSAR do not impose recordkeeping or
information collection requirements, or
otherwise collect information from
offerors, contractors, or members of the
public that require approval of the
Office of Management and Budget under
44 U.S.C.3501, et seq.
List of Subjects in 48 CFR Part 501
Government procurement.
Dated: March 22, 2005.
David A. Drabkin,
Senior Procurement Executive, Office of the
Chief Acquisition Officer, General Services
Administration.
Therefore, GSA amends 48 CFR part
501 as set forth below:
I
PART 501—GENERAL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION ACQUISITION
REGULATION SYSTEM
1. The authority citation for 48 CFR
part 501 is revised to read as follows:
I
Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c).
2. Amend section 501.403 by revising
paragraphs (a) and (c) to read as follows:
I
501.403
Individual deviations.
(a) An individual deviation affects
only one contract action.
(1) The Head of the Contracting
Activity (HCA) must approve an
individual deviation to the FAR. The
authority to grant an individual
deviation may not be re-delegated. A
copy of the deviation must be provided
to GSA’s Senior Procurement Executive
(SPE).
