within the Station’s current service area
and fully cover the city of Missoula. An
analysis using the Commission’s
TVStudy software tool indicates that
KPAX–TV’s move from channel 7 to
channel 25 is predicted to create a small
area where 444 persons are predicted to
lose service. The loss area, however, is
partially overlapped by the noise
limited contour of Scripps’ owned
television station KXLF–TV, Butte,
Montana, which is also a CBS affiliate,
and reduces the number who are
predicted to lose CBS service to only
121 persons, which is a level of service
loss the Commission considers to be de
minimis. Concurrence from the
Canadian government was required and
has been obtained. This is a synopsis of
the Commission’s Report and Order, MB
Docket No. 22–116; RM–11922; DA 22–
1233, adopted November 29, 2022, and

therefore, it does not contain any

Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4). Provisions of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–
612, do not apply to this proceeding.
The Commission will send a copy of
the Report and Order in a report to be

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The General Services
Administration (GSA) is issuing this
final rule amending the General
Services Administration Acquisition
Regulation (GSAR) to make editorial
changes. This technical amendment
includes correcting GSAR provision and
clause designation and prescription
errors as well as fixing mistakes
regarding the incorporation of GSAR
provisions and clauses.
DATES: Effective: December 15, 2022.

I. Discussion and Analysis
This final rule amends the GSAR to
make editorial corrections. As part of
GSA’s regulatory reform efforts, GSA
made updates to the GSAM Matrix of
Provisions and Clauses. During this
process, designation and prescription
errors connected to these GSAR clauses
and provisions were found. This
technical amendment corrects these
designations and prescription errors and
revises language regarding the
incorporation of these provisions and
clauses. There are no significant content
changes to the GSAR as a result of this
technical amendment.
II. Executive Order 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
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, dated September
30, 1993.
III. Congressional Review Act
Subtitle E of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 (codified at 5 U.S.C. 801–808), also
known as the Congressional Review Act
or CRA, generally provides that before a
major rule may take effect, the agency
promulgating the rule must submit a
rule report, which includes a copy of
the rule, to each House of the Congress
and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The General Services
Administration will submit a report
containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S.
House of Representatives, and the
Comptroller General of the United
States. A major rule under the CRA
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
IV. Publication for Public Comment Is
Not Required
The statute that applies to the
publication of the GSAR 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,
E:\FR\FM\15DER1.SGM
15DER1
76584
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 240 / Thursday, December 15, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
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 rule is not
required to be published for public
comment, because it is a technical
amendment that does not have a
significant effect or impose any new
requirements on contractors or offerors.
This rule simply makes editorial
changes.
V. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) does not apply to this
rule, because an opportunity for public
comment is not required to be given for
this rule under 41 U.S.C. 1707(a)(1) (see
Section IV. of this preamble).
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility
analysis is required and none has been
prepared.
VI. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not contain any
information collection requirements
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. chapter 35).
