and Deregulatory Actions

Administration (GSA).
AGENCY:
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 fall 2016
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
SUMMARY:
invites interested persons to recommend
existing significant regulations for
review to determine whether they
should be modified or eliminated.
Published proposed rules may be
reviewed in their entirety at the
Government’s rulemaking Web site at
http://www.regulations.gov.
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 fall 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.

Case 2015–G512, Unenforceable
Commercial Supplier Agreement Terms
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: GSA is amending the
General Services Administration
Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to
streamline the evaluation process to
award contracts containing commercial
supplier agreements Government and
industry often spend significant time
negotiating elements common in almost
every commercial supplier agreement
where the terms conflict with federal
law. Past negotiations would always
lead to deleting the terms from the
contract, but only after several rounds of
legal review by both parties. This case
would explore methods for
automatically nullifying these common
terms out of contracts.

ability to acquire order-level materials
through the FSS program to create
parity between FSS contracts and

procurement transactions, lower barriers
of entry to the Federal marketplace and
make it easier to do business with the
