Download as PDF hsrobinson on PROD1PC76 with PROPOSALS 47122 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 13, 2008 / Proposed Rules Commission proposes that the STS provider should be required to utilize an interactive menu that provides an option for reaching an STS CA in order to ensure that STS users calling 711 will promptly reach an STS CA to handle their calls. For instance, after an STS caller dials 711 and reaches the provider, the caller would reach an STS CA by pressing one additional number on the telephone. Finally, the Commission invites comment on its tentative conclusion that IP STS is a form of TRS eligible for compensation from the Interstate TRS Fund. 15. The Commission concludes that these proposed changes may be necessary to improve the effectiveness and quality of STS and IP STS services so that users may receive a functionally equivalent telephone service, as mandated by Title IV of the Americans With Disabilities Act. 16. The Commission believes that none of these proposed changes would impose a significant burden on providers, including small businesses. However, if the proposed changes may result in additional financial burden on the part of the affected providers, including small entities, the providers will be promptly reimbursed from the Interstate TRS Fund for the costs of complying with the proposed rules, if adopted. Entities, especially small businesses, are encouraged to quantify the costs and benefits of any reporting requirement that may be established in this proceeding. 17. The modifications the Commission proposes consist of policies aimed at achieving a functionally equivalent telephone service for TRS users and are not expected to have a substantial economic impact upon providers, including small businesses, because each small business will receive financial compensation for reasonable costs incurred rather than absorb an uncompensated financial loss or hardship. 18. With regard to whether a substantial number of small entities may be affected by the requirements proposed in the STS and IP STS NPRM, the Commission notes that, of the 7 providers affected by the STS and IP STS NPRM, only one meets the definition of a small entity. The SBA has developed a small business size standard for Wired Telecommunications Carriers, which consists of all such firms having 1,500 or fewer employees. Seven providers currently receive compensation from the Interstate TRS Fund for providing STS: AT&T Corp.; GoAmerica, Inc.; Hamilton Relay, Inc.; Nordia Inc.; Kansas Relay Service, Inc.; State of Michigan and Sprint. Because VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:58 Aug 12, 2008 Jkt 214001 only one of the providers would be affected by the STS and IP STS NPRM, if adopted, is deemed to be small entities under the SBA’s small business size standard, the Commission concludes that the number of small entities potentially affected by the Commission’s proposed rules in the STS and IP STS NPRM is not substantial. 19. Moreover, given that all providers potentially affected by the proposed rules, including the one that is deemed to be a small entity under the SBA’s standard, would be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for its reasonable costs of compliance, the Commission concludes that the STS and IP STS NPRM, if adopted, will not have a significant economic impact on small entities. 20. Therefore, the Commission certifies that the proposals in the STS and IP STS NPRM, if adopted, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Ordering Clauses Pursuant to sections 1, 4(i) and (o), 225, 255, 303(r), 403, 624(g), and 706 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i) and (o), 225, 255, 303(r), 403, 554(g), and 606, the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is adopted.

Please cite GSAR Case 2008–G515. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to delete two outdated clauses and the prescriptions for the two clauses. This proposed rule is a result of the General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM) rewrite initiative. The initiative was undertaken by GSA to revise the GSAM so as to maintain consistency with the FAR and implement streamlined and innovative acquisition procedures that contractors, offerors, and GSA contracting personnel can use when entering into and administering contractual relationships. The GSAM incorporates the General PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 47123 Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) as well as internal agency acquisition policy. GSA will rewrite each part of the GSAR and GSAM, and as each GSAR part is rewritten, GSA will publish it in the Federal Register. This proposed rule revises GSAR Part 549 by deleting the prescriptive language at section 549.502 for two outdated clauses. The clause at 552.249–70, Termination for Convenience of the Government (Fixed Price) (Short Form), and the clause at 552.249–71, Submission of Termination Liability Schedule, are being deleted. These are two GSA-unique clauses for acquisition and maintenance of telephone systems funded through the Information Technology (IT) Fund. This fund no longer exists. These clauses are obsolete. Discussion of Comments There were no comments received in response to the ‘‘Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking’’ at 71 FR 7910, February 15, 2006, pertaining to this GSAR Part 549. 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 General Services Administration does 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 the revisions are not considered substantive. The revisions delete obsolete coverage. An Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has, therefore, not been performed. We invite comments from small businesses and other interested parties. GSA will consider comments from small entities concerning the affected GSAR Parts 501, 549, and 552 in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such comments separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. (GSAR case 2008–G515), in correspondence. C. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the proposed changes to the GSAM do not impose information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
