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 2016 

edition. This agenda was developed 

under the guidelines of Executive Order 

12866 ‘‘Regulatory Planning and 

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. 

Published proposed rules may be 

reviewed in their entirety at the 

Government’s rulemaking Web site at 

http://www.regulations.gov. 

Since the fall 2007 edition, the 

Internet has been the basic means for 

disseminating the Unified Agenda. The 

complete Unified Agenda will be 

available online at www.reginfo.gov, in 

a format that offers users a greatly 

enhanced ability to obtain information 

from the Agenda database. 

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 published on the 

Internet. 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.

Commercial Supplier Agreement Terms 

Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c) 

Abstract: GSA is amending the 

General Services Administration 

Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to 

streamline the evaluation process to 

award contracts containing commercial 

supplier agreements Government and 

industry often spend significant time 

negotiating elements common in almost 

every commercial supplier agreement 

where the terms conflict with federal 

law. Past negotiations would always 

lead to deleting the terms from the 

contract, but only after several rounds of 

legal review by both parties. This case 

would explore methods for 

automatically nullifying these common 

terms out of contracts.

Order-Level Materials 

Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c) 

Abstract: The General Services 

Administration (GSA) is amending the 

General Services Administration 

Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to 

clarify the authority to acquire orderlevel materials when placing a task 

order or establishing a Blanket Purchase 

Agreement (BPA) against a Federal 

Supply Schedule (FSS) contract. This 

proposed rule seeks to provide clear and 

comprehensive implementation of the 

ability to acquire order-level materials 

through the FSS program to create 

parity between FSS contracts and 

commercial indefinite-delivery/ 

indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, 

reduce the need to conduct less efficient 

procurement transactions, lower barriers 

of entry to the Federal marketplace and 

make it easier to do business with the 

Federal Government.
