AGENCY: ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: The Audio Division seeks comment on a petition filed by CCRBrawley IV, LLC, proposing the downgrade from Channel 241B to Channel 241B1 at Brawley, the reallotment of Channel 241B1 from Brawley to Campo, California, and the modification of Station KSIQ(FM)’s license accordingly.

The coordinates for Channel 241B1 at Campo are 32–38–30 North Latitude and 116–28–05 West Longitude.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCIES: SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by revising fast payment procedures. The proposed revision permits, but does not require, fast payment when invoices and/or outer shipping containers are not marked ‘‘Fast Pay’’ provided the contract includes the ‘‘Fast Payment Procedure’’ clause. As highlighted in the proposed clause, if the clause is in the contract, the invoices will no longer be rejected, as is the current practice. Instead, they will be paid using either fast payment or normal payment procedures. In addition, the proposed revision deletes the requirement for marking invoices ‘‘No Receiving Report Prepared.’’ DATES: Interested parties should submit comments in writing on or before VerDate jul<14>2003 15:35 Jul 12, 2005 Jkt 205001 September 12, 2005, to be considered in the formulation of a final rule.

Follow the instructions for submitting comments. • Agency Web Site: https://www.acqnet.gov/far/ ProposedRules/proposed.htm. Click on the FAR case number to submit comments. • E-mail: farcase.2004–031@gsa.gov.

Instructions: Please submit comments only and cite FAR case 2004–031 in all correspondence related to this case. All comments received will be posted without change to https:// www.acqnet.gov/far/ProposedRules/ proposed.htm, including any personal information provided. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT The FAR Secretariat at (202) 501–4755 for information pertaining to status or publication schedules. For clarification of content, contact Mr. Jeremy Olson, at (202) 501–3221. Please cite FAR case 2004–031. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background This FAR case was initiated at the request of the DoD Acting Deputy Chief Financial Officer (CFO), OUSD (Comptroller), who believes FAR 52.213–1, Fast Payment Procedure, should be revised to correct a deficiency found during an internal review, namely, that many invoices were not prominently marked ‘‘FAST PAY.’’ The CFO recommends that the FAR be revised to: • Address both hard copy invoices and electronic invoices so that they may be accepted by the payment office if the ‘‘fast payment’’ clause is annotated manually or electronically in the contract record; and • Delete the requirement for marking invoices ‘‘NO RECEIVING REPORT PREPARED.’’ Requirement to mark invoices and outer shipping containers ‘‘Fast Pay.’’ The current requirement to display ‘‘Fast Pay’’ prominently on the invoices and outer shipping containers causes payment problems. This requirement forces payment offices to reject invoices PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 40279 when the invoices and/or the outer shipping containers are not marked ‘‘Fast Pay,’’ even though the contract contains the fast payment clause. The Councils believe that the FAR should be revised to provide the payment office flexibility to make fast payments when invoices and/or outer shipping containers are not marked ‘‘Fast Pay.’’ The proposed language permits, but does not require, fast payment when invoices and/or outer shipping containers are not marked ‘‘Fast Pay’’ provided the contract includes the ‘‘Fast Payment Procedure’’ clause. Under the proposed language, when the payment office decides to not process invoices as ‘‘Fast Pay’’ because the proper markings were not present, the payment date will be the payment date that would have applied had the ‘‘Fast Pay Procedures’’ clause not been in the contract. In this manner, an unmarked invoice will not be rejected. It is important to note that this change does not eliminate the requirement for the contractor to annotate an invoice ‘‘Fast Pay;’’ the contractor remains at risk that fast payment procedures will not be applied unless the invoice is annotated accordingly. Requirement to include the statement ‘‘No Receiving Report Prepared.’’ The current requirement to mark invoices ‘‘No Receiving Report Prepared’’ also causes payment problems as discussed above. In addition, the marking is misleading. A receiving report may be prepared for the contract, but if so, under fast pay procedures it is normally still in processing channels when the invoice arrives at the payment office. However, if a receiving report is not prepared, it is still imperative that the invoice includes sufficient information to facilitate follow-up verification that the item was received. The current FAR and the proposed revision both include a requirement for such information on the invoice. The difference is simply that the proposed revision does not require the statement ‘‘No Receiving Report Prepared’’ on the invoice. 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 Councils do not expect this proposed rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because it will have a beneficial, but small, impact.
