ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to make editorial changes. This technical amendment includes updating references and links, as well as deleting repetitive information that is covered elsewhere within the General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM). Changes incorporate both internal acquisition guidance, and the regulatory acquisition policies. DATES: Effective: January 13, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Leah Price, Procurement Analyst, by phone at 703-605-2558, or email at [email protected] 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-TA-01; Technical Amendments. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA is amending the GSAR to make editorial changes throughout the GSAM. There are no significant content changes resulting from this technical amendment. Outdated references and links have been updated. Throughout multiple GSAM parts, the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) have been changed to System for Award Management (SAM). This follows similar Federal Acquisition Regulation [[Page 1532]] (FAR) updates resulting from FAR Case 2012-033, for which a final rule was published in the Federal Register at 78 FR 37676 on June 21, 2013. Commerce Business Daily has also been replaced with its successor system, FedBizOpps. Multiple Web page links have also been updated, as have organizational references. Repetitive information has been removed from the GSAM. Definitions for certain terms have been deleted from their respective sections because these definitions have been added to the non-regulatory portion of the GSAM at Part 502 as a result of GSAR Case 2013-G503.
