Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory
and Deregulatory Actions
AGENCY: General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION:
Semiannual regulatory agenda.
This agenda announces the
proposed regulatory actions that GSA
plans for the next 12 months and those
that were completed since the spring
2009 edition. This agenda was
developed under the guidelines of
Executive Order 12866 ‘‘Regulatory
Planning and Review.’’ GSA’s purpose
in publishing this agenda is to allow
interested persons an opportunity to
participate in the rulemaking process.
GSA also invites interested persons to
recommend existing significant
regulations for review to determine
whether they should be modified or
SUMMARY:
Since the fall 2007 edition, the
Internet has been the basic means for
disseminating the Unified Agenda. The
complete Unified Agenda will be
available online at www.reginfo.gov, in
a format that offers users a greatly
enhanced ability to obtain information
from the Agenda database.
Because publication in the Federal
Register is mandated for the regulatory
flexibility agendas required by the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
602), GSA’s printed agenda entries
include only:
(1) Rules that are in the Agency’s
regulatory flexibility agenda, in
accordance with the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, because they are likely
to have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities; and
(2) Any rules that the Agency has
identified for periodic review under
section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act.
Printing of these entries is limited to
fields that contain information required
by the Regulatory Flexibility Act’s
Agenda requirements. Additional
information on these entries is available
in the Unified Agenda published on the
Internet. In addition, for spring editions
of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory
Plan will continue to be printed in the
Federal Register, as in past years,
including GSA’s regulatory plan.
