General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation; Information Collection; Sealed Bidding
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the General Services Administration has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a currently approved information collection requirement regarding sealed bidding. A request for public comments was published at 72 FR 66176, November 27, 2007. No comments were received. This OMB clearance expires on July 31, 2008. Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary and whether it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected.
Competitive Area
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed regulations that provide agencies with the option of establishing a reduction in force (RIF) competitive area comprised only of pay band positions. An agency would have this option only when the competitive area would otherwise include pay band positions and other positions not covered by a pay band system.
Revisions to Form S-11 To Permit Historical Incorporation by Reference
We are adopting amendments to Form S-11, a registration statement used by real estate entities to register offerings under the Securities Act of 1933. The amendments permit an entity that has filed an annual report for its most recently completed fiscal year and that is current in its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to incorporate by reference into Form S-11 information from its previously filed Exchange Act reports and documents. The amendments are identical to amendments to Form S-1 and Form F-1 previously adopted by the Commission and effective as of December 1, 2005.
Suitability
In support of its mission to ensure the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations governing Federal employment suitability. The final regulations authorize agencies to debar from employment for up to three years those found unsuitable, extend the suitability process to those applying for or who are in positions that can be non-competitively converted to the competitive service, provide additional procedural protections for those found unsuitable for Federal employment, and clarify the scope of authority for the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) to review actions taken under the regulations. The changes also make the regulations more readable.
Benefits Payable in Terminated Single-Employer Plans; Allocation of Assets in Single-Employer Plans; Interest Assumptions for Valuing and Paying Benefits
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's regulations on Benefits Payable in Terminated Single-Employer Plans and Allocation of Assets in Single-Employer Plans prescribe interest assumptions for valuing and paying benefits under terminating single-employer plans. This final rule amends the regulations to adopt interest assumptions for plans with valuation dates in May 2008. Interest assumptions are also published on the PBGC's Web site (https://www.pbgc.gov).
