SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    GSA is beginning the review and update of the General Services 
Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR). The GSAR is the 
regulatory part of the General Services Administration Acquisition 
Manual (GSAM). The GSAM contains both regulatory and non-regulatory 
acquisition guidance. The GSAR contains GSA's agency acquisition 
policies and practices, contract clauses, solicitation provisions, and 
forms that control the relationship between GSA and contractors and 
prospective contractors. The GSAM can be found online at 
www.acqnet.gov/GSAM/gsam.html. The regulatory parts making up the GSAR 
are the shaded parts of the document at this site. In this ANPR, GSA is 
seeking comments on the regulatory, or shaded parts, only.
    Revisions to the GSAR are necessary to maintain consistency with 
the FAR, and to implement streamlined and innovative acquisition 
procedures that contractors, offerors and GSA contracting personnel can 
utilize when entering into and administering contractual relationships.
    In this effort, GSA is asking industry and other interested 
parties, including Government personnel, to submit suggestion on which 
parts of the GSAR--
    Should be clarified to provide consistency with the FAR;
     Should be eliminated because they duplicate the FAR or 
create inconsistencies within the GSAR;
     Have inappropriate references listed to indicate the basis 
for the regulation;
     Have become irrelevant because of changes in technology or 
business processes;

[[Page 7911]]

     Place unnecessary administrative burdens on contractors 
and the Government;
     Can be streamlined or simplified;
     Need to be revised to provide new and/or augmented 
coverage; and
     Unnecessarily impose an adverse significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    Interested parties are requested to provide a rationale for their 
recommendation and, if possible, suggested language or examples.
    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.

    Dated: February 10, 2006.
Roger D. Waldron,
Acting Senior Procurement Executive, General Services Administration.
