Item I—Government Property (FAR
Case 2008–011)
This final rule amends the FAR to
revise FAR part 45 and its associated
clauses. Changes are being made to FAR
E:\FR\FM\02JYR3.SGM
02JYR3
38692
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 127 / Friday, July 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
parts 2, 4, 15, 32, 42, 45, and 52. These
changes are to clarify and correct the
previous FAR rule for part 45,
Government Property, published under
Federal Acquisition Circular 2005–17,
FAR case 2004–025, May 15, 2007, (72
FR 27364). Minor changes are made to
the proposed rule published August 6,
2009 (74 FR 39262).
The rule specifically impacts
contracting officers, property
administrators, and contractors
responsible for the management of
Government property. The rule does not
have a significant economic impact on
small entities because the rule does not
impose any additional requirements on
small businesses. The rule does not
affect the method of managing
Government property. The rule merely
clarifies and corrects the previous FAR
rule.

Item II—Registry of Disaster Response
Contractors (FAR Case 2008–035)
This final rule adopts, without
change, the interim rule implementing
Public Law 109–295, the Department of
Homeland Security Appropriations Act,
2007, section 697, which requires the
establishment and maintenance of a
registry of disaster response contractors.
The Disaster Response Registry is
located at https://www.ccr.gov. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(within the Department of Homeland
Security) has a link to the registry for
vendors on its Web site at https://
www.fema.gov/business/
contractor.shtm. The Registry covers

domestic disaster and emergency relief
activities.
Item III—Recovery Act Subcontract
Reporting Procedures (FAR Case 2010–
008) (Interim) *
This interim rule amends the FAR to
revise the clause at FAR 52.204–11,
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act—Reporting Requirements. The
revised clause will require first-tier
subcontractors with Recovery Act
funded awards of $25,000 or more, to
report jobs information to the prime
contractor for reporting into
FederalReporting.gov. It also will
require the prime contractor to submit
its first report on or before the 10th day
after the end of the calendar quarter in
which the prime contractor received the
award, and quarterly thereafter.
The revised clause will be used for all
new solicitations and awards issued on
or after the effective date of this interim
rule. This clause is not required for any
existing contracts, or task and delivery
orders issued under a contract, that
contain the original clause FAR 52.204–
11 (March 2009). Therefore, this interim
rule does not require renegotiation of
existing Recovery Act contracts that
include the clause dated March 2009.
Item IV—Clarification of Criteria for
Sole Source Awards to ServiceDisabled Veteran-Owned Small
Business Concerns (FAR Case 2008–
023)
This final rule amends FAR
19.1406(a) to clarify the criteria that
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 9990
need to be met in order to conduct a
sole source service-disabled veteranowned small business (SDVOSB)
concern acquisition. The FAR language
is amended to be consistent with the
Veterans Benefit Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C.
657f) and the Small Business
Administration’s regulation (13 CFR
125.20) that implements the Act. This
final rule also amends FAR 19.1306(a)
to clarify the criteria that need to be met
in order to conduct a sole source for
Historically Underutilized Business
Zone (HUBZone) small business
concern acquisitions. These
amendments to the FAR alleviate
confusion for contracting officers on the
appropriate use of the criteria needed to
conduct sole source HUBZONE small
business and SDVOSB concern
acquisitions.
Item V—Trade Agreements Thresholds
(FAR Case 2009–040) (Interim)
This interim rule adjusts the
thresholds for application of the World
Trade Organization Government
Procurement Agreement and the other
Free Trade Agreements as determined
by the United States Trade
Representative, according to a predetermined formula under the
agreements.
Dated: June 25, 2010.
