This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
General Services Administration (GSA), Office of the Chief Acquisition Officer.
Final rule.
The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to revise the language that provides requirements for termination of contracts.
Effective Date: June 8, 2009.
For clarification of content, contact Ms. Jeritta Parnell at (202) 501-4082. For information pertaining to the status or publication schedules, contact the Regulatory Secretariat (VPR), Room 4041, 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20405, (202) 501-4755. Please cite GSAR case 2008-G515.
The GSA published a proposed rule with request for comments in the Federal Register at 73 FR 47123 on August 13, 2008. No comments were received in response to the proposed rule. This final rule revises GSAR Part 549, Termination of Contracts, by deleting the prescriptive language in GSAR 549.502, Termination for convenience of the Government, for two outdated clauses. The clause at GSAR 552.249-70, Termination for Convenience of the Government (Fixed-Price)(Short Form), and the clause at 552.249-71, Submission of Termination Liability Schedule, are being deleted. These are two GSA-unique clauses for acquisition and maintenance of telephone systems funded through the Information Technology (IT) Fund. This fund no longer exists. These clauses are obsolete.
This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under Section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
The General Services Administration certifies that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., ( printed page 21273) because the revisions are not considered substantive. The revisions delete obsolete coverage.
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to the GSAR do not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements, or otherwise collect information from offerors, contractors, or members of the public that require approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, et seq.
