48 CFR Part 502 

[GSAM Change 62; GSAR Case 2013–G503; 

Docket No. 2014–0018; Sequence No. 1] 

RIN 3090–AJ52 

General Services Administration 

Acquisition Regulation (GSAR), 

Definitions in GSAR Part 502 

AGENCY: Office of Acquisition Policy, 

General Services Administration (GSA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration (GSA) is issuing a final 

rule amending the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation 

(GSAR) to move the definitions of words 

and terms from the regulatory text to the 

non-regulatory General Services 

Acquisition Manual (GSAM). 

DATES: Effective: January 13, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

James Tsujimoto, Procurement Analyst, 

at 202–208–3585, or email at 

james.tsujimoto@gsa.gov for 

clarification of content. For information 

pertaining to the status or publication 

schedules, contact the Regulatory 

Secretariat Division at 202–501–4755. 

Please cite GSAR Case 2013–G503. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion of Changes 

The General Services Administration 

(GSA) is amending the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation 

(GSAR) to move the definitions from the 

regulatory GSAR to the non-regulatory 

General Services Acquisition Manual 

(GSAM). The definitions listed in GSAR 

section 502.101 pertain to internal 

operations only and not the general 

public. Thus, the definitions belong in 

the non-regulatory GSAM. 

II. Public Comments Not Required 

41 U.S.C. 1707, Publication of 

proposed regulations, applies to the 

publication of the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation. 

Paragraph (a)(1) of the statute requires 

that a procurement policy, regulation, 

procedure, or form (including 

amendment or modification thereof) 

must be published for public comment 

if it 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 final rule is not required 

to be published for public comment 

because the definitions affect internal 

operations only. The change is solely 

within the discretion of the agency and 

has no impact on the public. 

III. Executive Orders 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 

E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 

804. 

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act does 

not apply to this rule because this final 

rule does not constitute a significant 

GSAR revision and 41 U.S.C. 1707 does 

not require publication for public 

comment. 

V. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final rule does not contain any 

information collection that requires 

additional approval of the Office of 

Management and Budget under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

List of Subjects in 48 CFR Part 502 

Government procurement. 

Dated: January 7, 2015. 

Jeffrey A. Koses, 

Senior Procurement Executive, Director, 

Office of Acquisition Policy, Office of 

Government-wide Policy. 

Therefore, GSA amends 48 CFR part 

502 as set forth below: 

PART 502 [REMOVED AND 

RESERVED] 

■ 1. Accordingly, under the authority of 

40 U.S.C. 486(c), amend 48 CFR Chapter 

5 by removing and reserving part 502.
