Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory
and Deregulatory Actions
General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.
AGENCY:
This agenda announces the
proposed regulatory actions that GSA
plans for the next 12 months and those
that were completed since the fall 2022
edition. This agenda was developed
under the guidelines of Executive
Orders 12866 ‘‘Regulatory Planning and
Review,’’ and 13563 ‘‘Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review.’’
GSA’s purpose in publishing this
agenda is to allow interested persons an
SUMMARY:
opportunity to 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. The
public may provide comments on rules
via https://www.regulations.gov.
The Unified Agenda, including
previous versions, are available at
www.reginfo.gov. 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. 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.

Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: The General Services
Administration (GSA) is proposing to
amend the General Services
Administration Acquisition Regulation
(GSAR) to remove the requirement for
lease offerors to have an active System
for Award Management (SAM)
registration when submitting offers and
instead allow offers up until the time of
award to obtain an active SAM
registration. Entities seeking Federal
leases differ from the typical entities
seeking Federal contracts in that
common practice is to form a new entity
for every new lease offer. Requiring
representations from these entities prior
to offer submission restricts
competition. In addition, the tools in
SAM typically used in the
Government’s evaluation of offers do
not add value when evaluating lease
offers.

Case 2021–G530, Extension of Federal
Minimum Wage to Lease Acquisitions
[3090–AK51]
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: The General Services
Administration (GSA) is proposing to
amend the General Services
Administration Acquisition Regulation
(GSAR) to extend the requirements of
Executive Order 14026 (Increasing the
Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors)
and Department of Labor regulations (29
CFR part 23) to lease acquisitions where
the Davis Bacon Act applies by
requiring inclusion of the related
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
clause. Generally, the FAR does not
apply to leasehold acquisitions of real
property. However, several FAR clauses
have been adopted based on
requirements through GSAR part 570.
The Federal minimum wage
requirements apply to Government lease
acquisitions where the Davis Bacon Act
applies and extension of the FAR
requirements will ensure compliance.
The Executive order seeks to increase
efficiency and cost savings in the work
performed by parties who contract with
the Federal Government by increasing to
$15.00 the hourly minimum wage paid
to those contractors. This rule promotes
economic resilience, and improves the
buying power of U.S. citizens.

Abstract: The General Services

regulations that will reduce single-use
plastic consumption by the agency.
Single-use plastic poses an
environmental risk that is documented
as having the potential to impact
biodiversity. To learn more, GSA
published an Advanced Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to ask
industry about what a change to the
single-use plastics industry would
entail. The questions focus on packaging
materials with the overall intent of
addressing not only the items that the
Government intentionally consumes,
but those products that the Government
unintentionally consumes (such as
packaging) that then has to be disposed
of once the item is delivered.

48 CFR Chapter 5
Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions
AGENCY: General Services Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This agenda announces the proposed regulatory actions that GSA
plans for the next 12 months and those that were completed since the
fall 2022 edition. This agenda was developed under the guidelines of
Executive Orders 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' and 13563
``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review.'' GSA's purpose in
publishing this agenda is to allow interested persons an opportunity to
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. The public may
provide comments on rules via https://www.regulations.gov.
The Unified Agenda, including previous versions, are available at
www.reginfo.gov. 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. 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.

Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)
to streamline and clarify the requirements for use of Federal Supply
Schedules by eligible non-Federal entities, such as state and local
governments. The rule is intended to increase understanding of the

eligible non-Federal entities, as authorized by historic statutes
including the Federal Supply Schedules Usage Act of 2010. This rule
supports underserved communities, promoting equity in the Federal
Government.

Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)
to remove the requirement for lease offerors to have an active System
for Award Management (SAM) registration when submitting offers and
instead allow offers up until the time of award to obtain an active SAM
registration. Entities seeking Federal leases differ from the typical
entities seeking Federal contracts in that common practice is to form a
new entity for every new lease offer. Requiring representations from
these entities prior to offer submission restricts competition. In
addition, the tools in SAM typically used in the Government's
evaluation of offers do not add value when evaluating lease offers.

Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)
to revise internal agency approval procedures to allow the use of an
economic price adjustment clause for deregulated electric supplies
under fixed-price contracts. This rule will better account for regional
variability in prices, portions of which are controlled by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission under section 205 and 206 of the Federal

GSAR Case 2021-G530, Extension of Federal Minimum Wage to Lease
Acquisitions [3090-AK51]
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to
amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)
to extend the requirements of Executive Order 14026 (Increasing the
Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors) and Department of Labor
regulations (29 CFR part 23) to lease acquisitions where the Davis
Bacon Act applies by requiring inclusion of the related Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause. Generally, the FAR does not apply
to leasehold acquisitions of real property. However, several FAR
clauses have been adopted based on requirements through GSAR part 570.
The Federal minimum wage requirements apply to Government lease
acquisitions where the Davis Bacon Act applies and extension of the FAR
requirements will ensure compliance. The Executive order seeks to
increase efficiency and cost savings in the work performed by parties
who contract with the Federal Government by increasing to $15.00 the
hourly minimum wage paid to those contractors. This rule promotes
economic resilience, and improves the buying power of U.S. citizens.

Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c)
Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is exploring
regulations that will reduce single-use plastic consumption by the
agency. Single-use plastic poses an environmental risk that is
documented as having the potential to impact biodiversity. To learn
more, GSA published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM)
to ask industry about what a change to the single-use plastics industry
would entail. The questions focus on packaging materials with the
overall intent of addressing not only the items that the Government
intentionally consumes, but those products that the Government
unintentionally consumes (such as packaging) that then has to be
disposed of once the item is delivered.

Space [3090-AK39]
Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c); Pub. L. 116-276
Abstract: The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the
General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to
incorporate contractor disclosure requirements and access limitations
for high-security leased space pursuant to the Secure Federal Leases
Act. Covered entities are required to identify whether the beneficial
owner of a high-security leased space, including an entity involved in
the financing thereof, is a foreign person or entity when first
submitting a proposal and annually thereafter. This rule supports the
national security priority.
