ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to restore guidance on the release of claims after completion of construction and building service contracts to ensure contractors are paid in accordance with their contract requirements and for work performed. This guidance, which prescribed the use of GSA Form 1142, Release of Claims, for releases of claims under construction and building service contracts, was inadvertently deleted as part of the Rewrite of GSAR regulations on Contract Financing. GSA contracting officers have used this form to achieve wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:19 Feb 09, 2012 Jkt 226001 uniformity and consistency in the release of claims process. DATES: Effective Date: March 12, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For clarification of content, contact Mr. Edward N. Chambers, Procurement Analyst, at (202) 501–3221, or by email at edward.chambers@gsa.gov. For information pertaining to status or publication schedules, contact the Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1275 First Street, 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20417, (202) 501–4755. Please cite GSAR Amendment 2012–01, GSAR Case 2010–G509. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background GSA issued a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 76 FR 13329, March 11, 2011 to restore coverage on making final payments under construction and building service contracts. A release of claims is a requirement under GSAR clause 552.232–72, Final Payment, precedent to making final payment under construction and building service contracts. GSA contracting officers have relied upon GSA Form 1142 to obtain the release of claims under these contracts. However, GSAR 532.905–71 which prescribed the use of GSA Form 1142 for releases of claims under construction and building service contracts was inadvertently deleted as part of the Rewrite of GSAR Part 532, Contract Financing published in the Federal Register at 74 FR 54915, October 29, 2009, GSAR Case 2006– G515. GSAR 532.905–71 also provided guidance on deductions to final payments under construction and building service contracts. The GSA Form 1142, Release of Claims, uses standard language for contractors to attest that it has no claims, or no claims except for those they may set forth where indicated on the form. The form requires a signature PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 from the contractor and a witness. Additionally, there is a location for the firm’s seal. GSA believes that GSA Form 1142 provides great value and accountability in providing uniformity and consistency for the release of claims process. Without the GSA Form 1142, GSA contracting officers will be required to verify that contractor release of claims letter includes appropriate wording before final payment is made, resulting in their devotion of considerable additional resources to this process. Further, the coverage on deductions under GSAR 532.905–71 is useful in preventing overpayments to contractors consistent with the Office of Management and Budget’s efforts to reduce improper payments and the reissuance of OMB Circular A–123 which implements the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA, Pub. L. 111–204). Since the referenced GSAR Rewrite of Part 532 in the Federal Register at 74 FR 54915, October 26, 2009, also deleted GSAR 532.905–70, this coverage is restored at GSAR 532.905–70 vice GSAR 532.905–71. B. Public Comments The public comment period closed on May 10, 2011. Three respondents submitted comments on the proposed rule. These responses included a total of 18 comments on 9 issues as stated below: Comment: The proposed GSAR coverage addresses both construction and building service contracts, so that each contract type requires the GSA Form 1142, ‘‘Release of Claims,’’ but that the proposed language refers only to the construction payment clause at FAR 52.232–5, and indicates that this clause also applies to building services. Revise GSAR 532.905–70(a) to read as follows: ‘‘The Government shall pay the E:\FR\FM\10FER1.SGM 10FER1

BFEs are made final for the communities listed below. The BFEs and 
modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management measures that 
each community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of being 
already in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for 
participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

DATES: The date of issuance of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) 
showing BFEs and modified BFEs for each community. This date may be 
obtained by contacting the office where the maps are available for 
inspection as indicated in the table below.

ADDRESSES: The final BFEs for each community are available for 
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each 
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) makes the final determinations listed below for the modified 
BFEs for each community listed. These modified elevations have been 
published in newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have 
elapsed since that publication. The Deputy Federal Insurance and 
Mitigation Administrator has resolved any appeals resulting from this 
notification.
    This final rule is issued in accordance with section 110 of the 
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR part 
67. FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in floodprone 
areas in accordance with 44 CFR part 60.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to 
review the proof Flood Insurance Study and FIRM available at the 
address cited below for each community. The BFEs and modified BFEs are 
made final in the communities listed below. Elevations at selected 
locations in each community are shown.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This final rule is categorically 
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental 
Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been 
prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are 
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant 
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order 
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR 
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This final rule involves no 
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This final rule meets 
the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
