DATES: Effective February 15, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For clarification of content, contact Mr. Curtis Hauschlidt, GSA Acquisition Policy Division, at GSARPolicy@gsa.gov or 817–253–7858. For information pertaining to status or publication schedules, contact the Regulatory Secretariat at 202–501–4755 or GSARegsec@gsa.gov. Please cite GSAR Case 2022–G519. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Background Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 19.12, Small Disadvantaged Business Participation Program, and all references to it, were removed from the FAR on October 14, 2014 (FAR Case 2009–016, 79 FR 61746). This removal followed a Federal court ruling that declared 10 U.S.C. 2323 unconstitutional. FAR subpart 19.12 derived its authority solely from 10 U.S.C. 2323, thus necessitating its removal. While removal from the FAR was made, no conforming changes were made to the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR). Upon routine regulatory review of the GSAR, this discrepancy was observed and removal was determined necessary. This final rule aligns the GSAR with the FAR. To summarize, GSAR subpart 519.12 is removed and reserved for future use. All mentions of GSAR subpart 519.12 are also removed, as well as corresponding mentions to FAR subpart 19.12 and corresponding clauses, which have been removed from the FAR. Changes made are as follows: E:\FR\FM\15FER1.SGM 15FER1
