Federal Acquisition Regulation: New
World Trade Organization Government
Procurement Agreement Country—
Australia
Department of Defense (DoD),
General Services Administration (GSA),
and National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
DoD, GSA, and NASA are
issuing a final rule amending the
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to
add Australia as a World Trade
Organization Government Procurement
Agreement (WTO GPA) country.
DATES: Effective: October 10, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Cecelia L. Davis, Procurement Analyst,
at 202–219–0202 for clarification of
content. For information pertaining to
status or publication schedules, contact
the Regulatory Secretariat Division at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
On May 5, 2019, Australia 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 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 authority to the U.S. Trade
Representative.
The U.S. Trade Representative has
determined that Australia will provide
appropriate reciprocal competitive
Government procurement opportunities
to United States products and services.
The U.S. Trade Representative
published a notice in the Federal
Register (84 FR 18110, April 29, 2019)
waiving the Buy American Act and
other discriminatory provisions for
eligible products from Australia.

10SER4
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
II. Discussion and Analysis
This rule adds Australia to the list of
WTO GPA countries wherever the list
appears in the FAR, whether as a
separate definition, part of the
definition of ‘‘designated country’’ or
‘‘Recovery Act designated country,’’ or
as part of the list of countries exempt
from the prohibition of acquisition of
products produced by forced or
indentured child labor (FAR 22.1503,
25.003, 52.222–19, 52.225–5, 52.225–11,
and 52.225–23).
Conforming changes were required to
FAR 52.212–5, Contract Terms and
Conditions Required to Implement
Statute or Executive Orders—
Commercial Items, and 52.213–4, Terms
and Conditions-Simplified Acquisitions
(Other Than Commercial Items).
Australia is already a designated
country because it is a Free Trade
Agreement Country.
III. Applicability to Contracts at or
Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold (SAT) and for Commercial
Items, Including Commercially
Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items
This rule is not statutory and is not
subject to 41 U.S.C. 1905 through 1907.
The rule adds Australia to the list of
WTO GPA countries to reflect the U.S.
Trade Representative’s determination. It
applies to acquisitions over the WTO
GPA threshold, as well as to
acquisitions for commercial items and
COTS items.
khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES4
IV. Publication of This Final Rule for
Public Comment Is Not Required by
Statute
The statute that applies to the
publication of the FAR is the Office of
Federal Procurement Policy statute
(codified at title 41 of the United States
Code). Specifically, 41 U.S.C. 1707(a)(1)
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 has no significant
cost or administrative impact on
contractors or offerors. It is just
updating the lists of designated
countries, in order to conform to the
determination by the U.S. Trade
Representative.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
V. 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.
VI. Executive Order 13771
This rule is not subject to E.O. 13771,
because this rule is not a significant
regulatory action under E.O. 12866.
VII. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be
given for this rule under 41 U.S.C.
1707(a)(1) (see section IV of this
preamble), the analytical requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility
analysis is required and none has been
prepared.
VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35) does apply.
However, this rule does not affect the
response of an offeror that is offering a
product of Australia to the information
collection requirements in the
provisions at FAR 52.212–3(g)(5),
52.225–6, and 52.225–11. Australia is
already a designated country because it
is a Free Trade Agreement country.
These information collection
requirements are currently approved
under OMB Control Numbers 9000–
0136 and 9000–0024, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On May 5, 2019, Australia 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 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 authority to the U.S. Trade
Representative.
The U.S. Trade Representative has determined that Australia will
provide appropriate reciprocal competitive Government procurement
opportunities to United States products and services. The U.S. Trade
Representative published a notice in the Federal Register (84 FR 18110,
April 29, 2019) waiving the Buy American Act and other discriminatory
provisions for eligible products from Australia.
[[Page 47867]]
II. Discussion and Analysis
This rule adds Australia to the list of WTO GPA countries wherever
the list appears in the FAR, whether as a separate definition, part of
the definition of ``designated country'' or ``Recovery Act designated
country,'' or as part of the list of countries exempt from the
prohibition of acquisition of products produced by forced or indentured
child labor (FAR 22.1503, 25.003, 52.222-19, 52.225-5, 52.225-11, and
52.225-23).
Conforming changes were required to FAR 52.212-5, Contract Terms
and Conditions Required to Implement Statute or Executive Orders--
Commercial Items, and 52.213-4, Terms and Conditions-Simplified
Acquisitions (Other Than Commercial Items).
Australia is already a designated country because it is a Free
Trade Agreement Country.
III. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold (SAT) and for Commercial Items, Including Commercially
Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items
This rule is not statutory and is not subject to 41 U.S.C. 1905
through 1907. The rule adds Australia to the list of WTO GPA countries
to reflect the U.S. Trade Representative's determination. It applies to
acquisitions over the WTO GPA threshold, as well as to acquisitions for
commercial items and COTS items.
IV. Publication of This Final Rule for Public Comment Is Not Required
by Statute
The statute that applies to the publication of the FAR is the
Office of Federal Procurement Policy statute (codified at title 41 of
the United States Code). Specifically, 41 U.S.C. 1707(a)(1) 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 has no significant cost or administrative impact on
contractors or offerors. It is just updating the lists of designated
countries, in order to conform to the determination by the U.S. Trade
Representative.
V. 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.
VI. Executive Order 13771
This rule is not subject to E.O. 13771, because this rule is not a
significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866.
VII. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 41
U.S.C. 1707(a)(1) (see section IV of this preamble), the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
are not applicable. Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is
required and none has been prepared.
VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) does apply.
However, this rule does not affect the response of an offeror that is
offering a product of Australia to the information collection
requirements in the provisions at FAR 52.212-3(g)(5), 52.225-6, and
52.225-11. Australia is already a designated country because it is a
Free Trade Agreement country. These information collection requirements
are currently approved under OMB Control Numbers 9000-0136 and 9000-
0024, respectively.
