Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory
and Deregulatory Actions
General Services
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 2017
edition. This agenda was developed
under the guidelines of Executive Order
12866 ‘‘Regulatory Planning and
Review’’, as amended. GSA’s purpose in
publishing this agenda is to allow
interested persons an opportunity to
SUMMARY:
participate in the rulemaking process.
GSA also 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 website at
https://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.

cybersecurity have been previously

incorporating cybersecurity
requirements into the GSAR, the GSAR
will provide centralized guidance to
ensure consistent application of
cybersecurity principles across the
organization. Integrating these
requirements into the GSAR will also
allow industry to provide public
comments through the rulemaking
process.
The GSA cybersecurity requirements
mandate contractors protect the
confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of unclassified GSA
information and information systems
from cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and
threats in accordance with the Federal
Information Security Modernization Act
of 2014 and associated Federal
cybersecurity requirements. This rule
will require contracting officers to
incorporate applicable GSA
cybersecurity requirements within the
statement of work to ensure compliance
with Federal cybersecurity requirements
and implement best practices for
preventing cyber incidents. These GSA
requirements mandate applicable
controls and standards (e.g. U.S.
National Institute of Standards and
Technology, U.S. National Archive and
Records Administration Controlled
Unclassified Information standards).
Cybersecurity requirements for
internal contractor systems, external
contractor systems, cloud systems, and
mobile systems will be covered by this
rule. It will also update existing GSAR
provision 552.239–70, Information
Technology Security Plan and Security
Authorization and GSAR clause
552.239–71, Security Requirements for
Unclassified Information Technology
Resources to only require the provision
and clause when the contract will
involve information or information

Case 2016–G515, Cyber Incident
Reporting
E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: GSA is proposing to amend
the General Services Administration
Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to
provide requirements for GSA
contractors to report cyber incidents
that could potentially affect GSA or its
customer agencies. The rule integrates
the existing cyber incident reporting
policy within GSA Order CIO 9297.2C,
GSA Information Breach Notification
Policy that did not previously go
through the rulemaking process into the
GSAR. By incorporating cyber incident
reporting requirements into the GSAR,
the GSAR will provide centralized
guidance to ensure consistent
application of cybersecurity principles
across the organization. Integrating
these requirements into the GSAR will
also allow industry to provide public
comments through the rulemaking
process.
The rule outlines the roles and
responsibilities of the GSA contracting
officer, contractors, and agencies
ordering off of GSA’s contracts in the
reporting of a cyber incident.
The rule establishes a contractor’s
responsibility to report any cyber
incident where the confidentiality,
integrity, or availability of GSA
information or information systems are
potentially compromised or where the
confidentiality, integrity, or availability
of information or information systems
owned or managed by or on behalf of
the U.S. Government is potentially
compromised. It establishes an explicit
timeframe for reporting cyber incidents,
details the required elements of a cyber
incident report, and provides the
required Government’s points of contact
for submitting the cyber incident report.
The rule also outlines the additional
contractor requirements that may apply
for any cyber incidents involving
personally identifiable information. In
addition, the rule clarifies both GSA and
ordering agencies’ authority to access
contractor systems in the event of a
cyber incident. It also establishes the
role of GSA in the cyber incident
reporting process and outlines how the
primary response agency for a cyber
incident is determined. In addition, it
establishes the requirement for the
contractor to preserve images of affected
systems and ensure contractor
employees receive appropriate training
for reporting cyber incidents. The rule
also outlines how contractor
attributional/proprietary information

the GSAR will also allow industry to provide public comments through
the rulemaking process.
The GSA cybersecurity requirements mandate contractors protect the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of unclassified GSA
information and information systems from cybersecurity vulnerabilities,
and threats in accordance with the Federal Information Security
Modernization Act of 2014 and associated Federal cybersecurity
requirements. This rule will require contracting officers to
incorporate applicable GSA cybersecurity requirements within the
statement of work to ensure compliance with Federal cybersecurity
requirements and implement best practices for preventing cyber
incidents. These GSA requirements mandate applicable controls and
standards (e.g. U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology,
U.S. National Archive and Records Administration Controlled
Unclassified Information standards).
Cybersecurity requirements for internal contractor systems,
external contractor systems, cloud systems, and mobile systems will be
covered by this rule. It will also update existing GSAR provision
552.239-70, Information Technology Security Plan and Security
Authorization and GSAR clause 552.239-71, Security Requirements for
Unclassified Information Technology Resources to only require the
provision and clause when the contract will involve information or
information systems connected to a GSA network.

184. General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR);
GSAR Case 2016-G515, Cyber Incident Reporting
E.O. 13771 Designation: Other.
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: GSA is proposing to amend the General Services
Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to provide requirements
for GSA contractors to report cyber incidents that could potentially
affect GSA or its customer agencies. The rule integrates the existing
cyber incident reporting policy within GSA Order CIO 9297.2C, GSA
Information Breach Notification Policy that did not previously go
through the rulemaking process into the GSAR. By incorporating cyber
incident reporting requirements into the GSAR, the GSAR will provide
centralized guidance to ensure consistent application of cybersecurity
principles across the organization. Integrating these requirements into
the GSAR will also allow industry to provide public comments through
the rulemaking process.
The rule outlines the roles and responsibilities of the GSA
contracting officer, contractors, and agencies ordering off of GSA's
contracts in the reporting of a cyber incident.
The rule establishes a contractor's responsibility to report any
cyber incident where the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of
GSA information or information systems are potentially compromised or
where the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information or
information systems owned or managed by or on behalf of the U.S.
Government is potentially compromised. It establishes an explicit
timeframe for reporting cyber incidents, details the required elements
of a cyber incident report, and provides the required Government's
points of contact for submitting the cyber incident report.
The rule also outlines the additional contractor requirements that
may apply for any cyber incidents involving personally identifiable
information. In addition, the rule clarifies both GSA and ordering
agencies' authority to access contractor systems in the event of a
cyber incident. It also establishes the role of GSA in the cyber
incident reporting process and outlines how the primary response agency
for a cyber incident is determined. In addition, it establishes the
requirement for the contractor to preserve images of affected systems
and ensure contractor employees receive appropriate training for
reporting cyber incidents. The rule also outlines how contractor
attributional/proprietary information
[[Page 27208]]
provided as part of the cyber incident reporting process will be
protected and used.
