II. Discussion and Analysis
III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule implements the new
thresholds in FAR subpart 25.4, Trade
Agreements, and other sections in the
FAR that include trade agreements
thresholds (i.e., 22.1503, 25.202, 25.603,
25.1101, and 25.1102).
In addition, changes are required to
FAR clause 52.204–8, Annual
Representations and Certifications, and
FAR clause 52.222–19, Child LaborCooperation with Authorities and
Remedies. Conforming changes are also
required to the clause dates in FAR
clause 52.212–5, Contract Terms and
Conditions Required to Implement
Statutes or Executive OrdersCommercial Items, and FAR clause
52.213–4, Terms and ConditionsSimplified Acquisitions (Other Than
Commercial Items).
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and
13563 direct agencies to assess all costs
and benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This is not a significant
regulatory action and, therefore, was not
subject to review under Section 6(b) of
E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply to this rule because this final
rule does not constitute a significant
FAR revision within the meaning of
FAR 1.501–1 and 41 U.S.C. 1707 and
does not require publication for public
comment.

Department of Defense (DoD),

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCIES:
DoD, GSA, and NASA are
issuing a final rule amending the
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to
add Armenia as a designated country,
due to the accession of Armenia to
membership in the World Trade
Organization Government Procurement
Agreement. The rule also updates the
FAR lists of countries that are party to
the Agreement on Trade in Civil
Aircraft.
SUMMARY:
Effective Date: March 2, 2012.

content. For information pertaining to
status or publication schedules, contact

Case 2011–030.

DATES:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Background
On September 15, 2011, Armenia
became a party to the World Trade
Organization Government Procurement
Agreement (WTO GPA). The Trade
Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 2501 et seq.)
provides the authority for the President
to waive the Buy American Act and
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:06 Mar 01, 2012
Jkt 226001
other discriminatory provisions for
eligible products from countries that
have signed an international trade
agreement with the United States (such
as the WTO GPA). The President has
delegated this waiver authority to the
U.S. Trade Representative (see FAR
25.402).
On September 22, 2011, because
Armenia became a party to the WTO
GPA and because the U.S. Trade
Representative has determined that
Armenia will provide appropriate
reciprocal competitive Government
procurement opportunities to United
States products and services and
suppliers of such products and services,
the U.S. Trade Representative published
a notice in the Federal Register (76 FR
58856) waiving the Buy American Act
and other discriminatory provisions for
eligible products from Armenia.
In addition, the Office of the U.S.
Trade Representative has provided an
updated list of countries that are party
to the Agreement on Trade in Civil
Aircraft. The U.S. Trade Representative
has waived the Buy American Act for
civil aircraft and related articles from
countries that are parties to the
Agreement on Trade on Civil Aircraft.
II. Discussion and Analysis
FAR 25.003 defines WTO GPA
countries by listing the parties to the
WTO GPA, and defines ‘‘designated
country’’ as a WTO GPA country, a Free
Trade Agreement country, a least
designated country, or a Caribbean
Basin country (including the lists of
countries in each category).
Because Armenia is now a WTO GPA
country and therefore also a designated
country, as determined by the U.S.
Trade Representative, this final rule
adds Armenia to the lists of WTO GPA
countries and designated countries at
FAR 22.1503, 25.003, 52.222–19,
52.225–5, 52.225–11, and 52.225–23.
This final rule also updates the FAR
lists of countries that are party to the
Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft at
FAR 25.407 and 52.225–7, Waiver of
Buy American Act for Civil Aircraft and
Related Articles.
Conforming changes have also been
made to the associated clause dates for
the revised clauses in the lists at FAR
52.212–5, Contract Terms and
Conditions Required to Implement
Statutes or Executive Orders—
Commercial Items, and FAR 52.213–4,
Terms and Conditions—Simplified
Acquisitions (Other Than Commercial
Items).

III. Publication of This Final Rule for
Public Comment Is Not Required by
Statute
‘‘Publication of proposed
regulations’’, 41 U.S.C. 1707, is the
statute which applies to the publication
of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
Paragraph (a)(1) of the statute requires
that a procurement policy, regulation,
procedure or form (including an
amendment or modification thereof)
must be published for public comment
if it relates to the expenditure of
appropriated funds, and has either a
significant effect beyond the internal
operating procedures of the agency
issuing the policy, regulation, procedure
or form, or has a significant cost or
administrative impact on contractors or
offerors. This final rule is not required
to be published for public comment,
because it recognizes actions taken by
the United States Trade Representative
that do not have a significant effect on
contractors or offerors.
IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and
13563 direct agencies to assess all costs
and benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This is a significant
regulatory action and, therefore, was
subject to review under Section 6(b) of
E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
V. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply to this rule because this final
rule does not constitute a significant
FAR revision within the meaning of
FAR 1.501–1 and 41 U.S.C. 1707 and
does not require publication for public
comment.
VI. Paperwork Reduction Act
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall any person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) unless the collection of
information displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Control Number. The Paperwork

II. Discussion and Analysis
This final rule implements the new thresholds in FAR subpart 25.4,
Trade Agreements, and other sections in the FAR that include trade
agreements thresholds (i.e., 22.1503, 25.202, 25.603, 25.1101, and
25.1102).
In addition, changes are required to FAR clause 52.204-8, Annual
Representations and Certifications, and FAR clause 52.222-19, Child
Labor-Cooperation with Authorities and Remedies. Conforming changes are
also required to the clause dates in FAR clause 52.212-5, Contract
Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive
Orders-Commercial Items, and FAR clause 52.213-4, Terms and Conditions-
Simplified Acquisitions (Other Than Commercial Items).
III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O.
13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits,
of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility.
This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not
subject to review under Section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning
and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule
under 5 U.S.C. 804.
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply to this rule because
this final rule does not constitute a significant FAR revision within
the meaning of FAR 1.501-1 and 41 U.S.C. 1707 and does not require
publication for public comment.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
The final rule does not contain any information collection
