[MM Docket No. 97–118; RM–9061]

Radio Broadcasting Services;

Pentwater and Walhalla, MI

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Action in this document

allots Channel 255A to Walhalla,

Michigan, in response to a petition filed

by Roger Lewis Hoppe II. See 12 FCC

Rcd 4127 (1997). There is a site

restriction 6.3 kilometers southwest of

the community. Canadian concurrence

has been obtained for the allotment of

Channel 255A at Walhalla at

coordinates 43–54–08 and 86–10–13. A

one-step application filed by Bay View

Broadcasting, Inc. requesting the

substitution of Channel 274A for

Channel 276A at Pentwater, Michigan,

has been considered as a

counterproposal in this proceeding

(BPH–970319IE). The allotment of

Channel 255A at Walhalla instead of

Channel 274A removes the conflict with

the pending application at Pentwater.

With this action, this proceeding is

terminated. A filing window for

Channel 255A at Walhalla, Michigan,

will not be opened at this time. Instead,

the issue of opening a filing window for

this channel will be addressed by the

Commission in a subsequent order.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 18, 1998.

Radio Broadcasting Services; Ironton,

Malden and Salem, MO

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Action in this document

substitutes Channel 225C2 for Channel

225C3 at Malden, Missouri, and

modifies the license for Station

KMAL(FM) to specify operation on

Channel 225C2 in response to a petition

filed by B.B.C., Inc. See 62 FR 29090,

May 29, 1997. The coordinates for

Channel 225C2 at Malden are 36–39–48

and 89–47–39. To accommodate the

allotment at Malden, we shall substitute

Channel 224A for Channel 225A at

Ironton, Missouri, and modify the

license for Station KYLS accordingly.

The coordinates for Channel 224A at

Ironton are 37–34–23 and 90–41–35. A

joint counterproposal filed by B.B.C.,

Inc. and Dockins Communications, Inc.,

licensee of Station KYLS, Ironton, is not

being considered. The counterproposal

supported the allotment at Malden but

requested the substitution of Channel

240C3 for Channel 225A at Ironton and

the substitution of Channel 225A for

Channel 240A at Salem, Missouri. With

this action, this proceeding is

terminated.

Acquisition Regulation; Negotiation

Procedures for Acquisition of

Leasehold Interests in Real Property

AGENCY: Office of Acquisition Policy,

GSA.

ACTION: Interim rule with request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The General Services

Administration Acquisition Regulation

(GSAR) is amended to update

negotiation procedures for acquisitions

of leasehold interests in real property.

The changes make GSAR Part 570

consistent, where applicable, with

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

Part 15, as revised by Federal

Acquisition Circular (FAC) 97–02. The

changes also update FAR provisions and

clauses applicable to acquisitions of

leasehold interests in real property.

DATES: Effective date April 16, 1998.

Comments should be submitted in

writing to the address shown below on

or before June 15, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to General

Services Administration, Office of

Acquisition Policy, GSA Acquisition

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

GSA issues regulations for acquiring

leasehold interests in real property

under the authority of 40 U.S.C. 486(c),

including source selection procedures.

Many of the source selection procedures

for acquiring leasehold interests in real

property are based on FAR Part 15. FAC

97–02 made significant revisions to FAR

Part 15, infusing innovative techniques

into the source selection process,

simplifying the acquisition process,

incorporating changes in pricing

proposal policy, and facilitating the

acquisition of best value. In order to

take advantage of the innovations and

simpler procedures incorporated into

FAR part 15 by FAC 97–02 and to

minimize potential confusion, GSA is

updating 48 CFR part 570 to ensure

consistency with FAR part 15 where

applicable. The changes provide more

flexibility in exchanges with industry,

change the standard for admission into

the competitive range (to all proposal

most highly rated), simplify

documentation requirements, ensure

that procedures for addressing adverse

past performance are consistent with

FAR Part 15, and ensure that procedures

for obtaining and analyzing cost or

pricing data or information other than

cost or pricing data remain consistent

with FAR Part 15. The changes also

delete the requirement for a Certificate

of Procurement Integrity and a

Contingent Fee Representation and

Agreement, consistent with earlier

changes made to FAR Part 3.

B. Executive Order 12866

This regulatory action was not subject

to Office of Management and Budget

review under Executive Order 12866,

dated September 30, 1993, and is not a

major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804. The

impact on small businesses derives from

the changes made to the FAR rule, and
