SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 24, 2017, President Trump signed
Executive Order (E.O.) 13777, ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform
Agenda,'' which established a federal policy ``to alleviate unnecessary
regulatory burdens'' on the American people. Section 3(a) of the E.O.
directs federal agencies to establish a Regulatory Reform Task Force
(Task Force). One of the duties of the Task Force is to evaluate
existing regulations and ``make recommendations to the agency head
regarding their repeal, replacement, or modification.'' The E.O.
further asks that each Task Force ``attempt to identify regulations
that:
(i) Eliminate jobs, or inhibit job creation;
(ii) are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective;
(iii) impose costs that exceed benefits;
(iv) create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with
regulatory reform initiatives and policies;
(v) are inconsistent with the requirements of section 515 of the
Treasury and General Government Appropriates Act, 2001 (44 U.S.C. 3516
note), or the guidance issued pursuant to that provision in particular
those regulations that rely in whole or in part on data, information,
or methods that are not publicly available or that are insufficiently
transparent to meet the standard of reproducibility; or
(vi) derive from or implement Executive Orders or other
Presidential directives that have been subsequently rescinded or
substantially modified.''
Section 3(e) of the E.O. calls on the Task Force to ``seek input
and other assistance, as permitted by law, from entities significantly
affected by Federal regulations, including State, local, and tribal
governments, small businesses, consumers, non-governmental
organizations, and trade associations'' on regulations that meet some
or all of the criteria above. Through this notice, GSA is soliciting
such input from the public to inform its Task Force's evaluation. This
notice is specifically requesting input on existing lease acquisition
regulations, policies, and guidance issued by GSA (e.g., GSAR, GSA
Leasing Desk Guide, GSA Lease Acquisition Circulars, GSA Leasing
Alerts, and GSA Realty Services Letters). Examples of lease acquisition
regulations, policies, and guidance GSA is requesting input on include
the GSA Acquisition Regulations (GSAR), the GSA Acquisition Manual
(GSAM), the GSA Leasing Desk Guide, GSA Lease Acquisition Circulars,
GSA Leasing Alerts, GSA Realty Services Letters, or other GSA leasing
related acquisition policies, standards, and guidance that have not
been codified through regulation, but may be still be appropriate for
repeal, replacement, or modification.
GSA requests that comments be as specific as possible, include any
supporting data or other information such as cost information, provide
a Federal Register (FR), GSAM, GSAR, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
citation, GSA Leasing Desk Guide chapter and page, GSA Lease
Acquisition Circular number, GSA Leasing Alert number, or GSA Realty
Services Letter number when referencing a specific lease acquisition
regulation, policy, or guidance. To be beneficial, comments should
provide specific suggestions regarding repeal, replacement, or
modification. Although the agency may not respond to each individual
comment, the GSA values public feedback and will give careful
consideration to all input that it receives.
GSA will also be conducting targeted outreach on this same topic.
GSA intends to consider all GSA regulations for repeal, replacement, or
modification under the guiding principles of EO 13777.

Dated: May 23, 2017.
