Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 206 / Friday, October 23, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2
I. Background
DoD, GSA, and NASA are amending
the FAR to update internal Government
procedures related to excess personal
property and to remove obsolete
requirements. FAR part 2 defines
‘‘excess personal property’’ to mean any
personal property under the control of
a Federal agency that the agency head
determines is not required for its needs
or for the discharge of its
responsibilities. Excess personal
property is a mandatory source of
supply for Federal agencies (see FAR
8.002). Agencies are required to satisfy
their requirements for supplies from the
excess personal property of other
agencies, when practicable, before
initiating a contract action. This rule
updates FAR guidance on obtaining
information about available excess
personal property to reflect the current
processes and sources established by
GSA Federal Acquisition Service’s
Office of Personal Property Management
(PPMO), which helps agencies dispose
of personal property that is no longer
needed and alternately helps agencies
acquire this excess personal property.
Federal policy and procedures
relating to excess personal property are
found in the Federal Management
Regulations at 41 CFR part 102–36. FAR
subpart 8.1, Excess Personal Property,
contains information to ensure the
acquisition workforce is aware of the
Government’s policies on the use of
excess personal property and provides
the workforce with references to find
more information about excess personal
property.
FAR subpart 8.1 has not been
substantively amended since its original
publication in 1983. As a result, the
subpart reflects outdated and obsolete
procedures, such as agencies having to
submit GSA Form 1539, Request for
Excess Personal Property, to get
information on the availability of excess
personal property; the GSA Form 1539
was discontinued in 1997. Similarly,
agencies can no longer look at ‘‘reports
and samples’’ of excess personal
property in GSA regional offices or at
excess personal property ‘‘catalogs and
bulletins’’ issued by GSA.
Based on input from the PPMO, FAR
subpart 8.1 is amended to reflect current
practices for making excess personal
property information available to
agencies (i.e., GSAXcess®) and how
agencies can contact the PPMO.
Specifically, this rule removes
references to catalogs and bulletins
issued by GSA, the use of a
discontinued GSA form, and the ability
to the examine reports and samples of
excess personal property in GSA
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:11 Oct 22, 2020
Jkt 253001
regional offices. Instead, the rule
identifies the website through which
agencies can find information on
available excess personal property.
Additionally, this rule updates the name
of the offices handling excess personal
property within GSA and provides a
website containing contact information
for those offices.
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804.
II. 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 simply removes and updates
obsolete guidance that is used solely for
the internal operating procedures of the
Government. This rule does not impose
any new requirements on contracts at or
below the SAT, or to acquisitions for
commercial items, including COTS
items.
VI. 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 III. 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.
III. Publication of This Final Rule for
Public Comment Is Not Required by
Statute
The statutory provision that applies to
the publication of the FAR is 41 U.S.C.
1707. 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 DoD, GSA, and
NASA are merely removing and
updating obsolete information in the
FAR that is used solely for the internal
operating procedures of the
Government.
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 rule is not a significant
regulatory action and therefore, this rule
was not subject to the review of the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866.

V. Executive Order 13771
This final rule is not subject to E.O.
13771, Reducing Regulation and
controlling Regulatory Costs, because
this rule is not a significant regulatory
action under E.O. 12866.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not contain any
information collection requirements that
require the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2
SUMMARY:
I. Background
DoD, GSA, and NASA published a
proposed rule on September 24, 2019, at
84 FR 49974, to implement 10 U.S.C.
983, which prohibits the award of
certain Federal contracts with covered
funds to institutions of higher education
that prohibit Reserve Officer Training
Corps (ROTC) units or military
recruiting on campus.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:11 Oct 22, 2020
Jkt 253001
‘‘Covered funds’’ is defined in 10
U.S.C. 983 to be any funds made
available for DoD, Department of
Transportation, Department of
Homeland Security, or National Nuclear
Security Administration of the
Department of Energy, the Central
Intelligence Agency, or for any
department or agency in which regular
appropriations are made in the
Departments of Labor, Health and
Human Services, Education, and
Related Agencies Appropriations Act.
None of these covered funds may be
provided by contract or grant to an
institution of higher education
(including any sub-element of such
institution) that has a policy or practice
(regardless of when implemented) that
either prohibits, or in effect prevents,
the Secretary of Defense from
establishing or operating a Senior ROTC
at that institution (or any sub-element of
that institution); or that either prohibits,
or in effect prevents, a student at that
institution (or any sub-element of that
institution) from enrolling in a ROTC
unit at another institution of higher
education.
The statute has similar sanctions
against these covered funds being
provided to an institution of higher
education (or any sub-element of an
institution) that has a policy or practice
(regardless of when implemented) that
either prohibits, or in effect prevents,
the Secretary of a Military Department
or Secretary of Homeland Security from
gaining access to campuses, or access to
students (who are 17 years of age or
older) on campuses, for purposes of
military recruiting, where such policy or
practice denies the military recruiter
access that is at least equal in quality
and scope to the access to campuses and
students provided to any other
employer; or access to information
pertaining to the students’ names,
addresses, telephone listings, dates and
places of birth, levels of education,
academic majors, degrees received, and
the most recent educational institution
enrolled in by the student.
The meaning and effect of the term
‘‘equal in quality and scope’’ was
explained in the U.S. Supreme Court
decision in Rumsfeld v. Forum for
Academic and Institutional Rights, Inc.,
126 S. Ct. 1297 (2006). The term means
the same access to campus and students
provided by the school to any other
nonmilitary recruiters or employers
receiving the most favorable access. The
focus is not on the content of a school’s
recruiting policy, but instead on the
result achieved by the policy and
compares the access provided military
recruiters to that provided other
recruiters. Therefore, compliance with
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
67619
10 U.S.C. 983 would be considered
insufficient if the policy results in a
greater level of access for other
recruiters than for the military.
The statute provides an exception
whereby any Federal funding provided
to an institution of higher education or
to an individual that is available solely
for student financial assistance, related
administrative costs, or costs associated
with attendance may be used for the
purpose for which the funding is
provided.
Four respondents submitted
comments on the proposed rule.
II. Discussion and Analysis
The Civilian Agency Acquisition
Council and the Defense Acquisition
Regulations Council (the Councils)
reviewed the public comments in the
development of the final rule. A
discussion of the comments is provided
as follows:
A. Summary of Changes
There are no changes as a result of
comments on the proposed rule.
Technical changes were made to the
proposed rule.
B. Analysis of Public Comments
Comment: All four respondents
strongly supported the proposed FAR
rule.
Response: Noted.
C. Other Changes
Made technical changes at FAR
9.405–1, 12.503, and 13.005.
Added language at FAR 9.110–4(b)
and 43.105(c) to highlight that the
prohibition does not apply to
acquisitions at or below the simplified
acquisition threshold or to acquisitions
of commercial items, including
commercially available off-the-shelf
items.
Included an exception for contractors
that have been declared ineligible
pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 983 with a pointer
reference to FAR 9.110 and 9.405–1(b),
at FAR 9.400(b).
Moved the ‘‘Institution of higher
education’’ definition within the FAR
clause at 52.209–14(a) to place the
definitions in alphabetical order.
III. Expected Impact of the Final Rule
DoD, GSA, and NASA do not expect
a cost impact on the public or
institutions of higher learning or on the
Government because covered agencies
already have regulations in place to
address their statutory responsibilities.
These agencies and the public will be
required to comply with the same
requirement, but the requirement will
now be located in the FAR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 67618]]
I. Background
DoD, GSA, and NASA are amending the FAR to update internal
Government procedures related to excess personal property and to remove
obsolete requirements. FAR part 2 defines ``excess personal property''
to mean any personal property under the control of a Federal agency
that the agency head determines is not required for its needs or for
the discharge of its responsibilities. Excess personal property is a
mandatory source of supply for Federal agencies (see FAR 8.002).
Agencies are required to satisfy their requirements for supplies from
the excess personal property of other agencies, when practicable,
before initiating a contract action. This rule updates FAR guidance on
obtaining information about available excess personal property to
reflect the current processes and sources established by GSA Federal
Acquisition Service's Office of Personal Property Management (PPMO),
which helps agencies dispose of personal property that is no longer
needed and alternately helps agencies acquire this excess personal
property.
Federal policy and procedures relating to excess personal property
are found in the Federal Management Regulations at 41 CFR part 102-36.
FAR subpart 8.1, Excess Personal Property, contains information to
ensure the acquisition workforce is aware of the Government's policies
on the use of excess personal property and provides the workforce with
references to find more information about excess personal property.
FAR subpart 8.1 has not been substantively amended since its
original publication in 1983. As a result, the subpart reflects
outdated and obsolete procedures, such as agencies having to submit GSA
Form 1539, Request for Excess Personal Property, to get information on
the availability of excess personal property; the GSA Form 1539 was
discontinued in 1997. Similarly, agencies can no longer look at
``reports and samples'' of excess personal property in GSA regional
offices or at excess personal property ``catalogs and bulletins''
issued by GSA.
Based on input from the PPMO, FAR subpart 8.1 is amended to reflect
current practices for making excess personal property information
available to agencies (i.e., GSAXcess[supreg]) and how agencies can
contact the PPMO.
Specifically, this rule removes references to catalogs and
bulletins issued by GSA, the use of a discontinued GSA form, and the
ability to the examine reports and samples of excess personal property
in GSA regional offices. Instead, the rule identifies the website
through which agencies can find information on available excess
personal property. Additionally, this rule updates the name of the
offices handling excess personal property within GSA and provides a
website containing contact information for those offices.
II. 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 simply removes and updates obsolete guidance that is used
solely for the internal operating procedures of the Government. This
rule does not impose any new requirements on contracts at or below the
SAT, or to acquisitions for commercial items, including COTS items.
III. Publication of This Final Rule for Public Comment Is Not Required
by Statute
The statutory provision that applies to the publication of the FAR
is 41 U.S.C. 1707. 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 DoD, GSA, and NASA are merely removing and updating obsolete
information in the FAR that is used solely for the internal operating
procedures of the Government.
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 rule is not a significant regulatory action and therefore, this
rule was not subject to the review of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866. This rule is not a
major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
V. Executive Order 13771
This final rule is not subject to E.O. 13771, Reducing Regulation
and controlling Regulatory Costs, because this rule is not a
significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866.
VI. 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 III. 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.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not contain any information collection requirements
that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
