Relating to Telegraphic Communication. III................................... Technical Amendments.......... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the actual revisions and/or amendments made by these rules, refer to the specific item numbers and subjects set forth in the documents following these item summaries. FAC 2005-92 amends the FAR as follows: Item I--Public Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Goals--Representation (FAR Case 2015-024) This final rule amends the FAR to establish an annual representation requirement to indicate whether or not and where contractors publicly disclose greenhouse gas emissions and greenhouse gas emission reduction goals or targets. This representation is optional for contractors that received less than $7.5 million in contract awards from the Government during the previous Federal fiscal year. The information obtained from these representations will assist agencies in developing strategies to engage with contractors to reduce supply chain emissions, as directed in the Executive Order 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade. Item II--Removal of Regulations Relating to Telegraphic Communication (FAR Case 2015-035) This rule amends the FAR to delete the use of ``telegram,'' ``telegraph,'' and related terms. The objective is to delete reference to obsolete technologies no longer in use and replace with references to electronic communications. In addition, conforming changes are made covering expedited notice of termination and change orders. The rule is not anticipated to have a significant economic impact on small business entities, as the rule provides recognition of current options for transmitting documents between the Government and contractors. The rule also revises the means of disseminating contract termination documents between the Government and contractors; however, this change only affects the Government's responsibility for transmitting termination notices. Item III--Technical Amendments Editorial changes are made at FAR 2.101, 7.105, 19.1506, 34.000, 34.005-2, 34.201, 34.203, 42.709, 52.234-2, 52.234-3, and 52.234-4. Dated: November 10, 2016. William F. Clark, Director, Office of Government-wide Acquisition Policy, Office of Acquisition Policy, Office of Government-wide Policy. Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-92 is issued under the authority of the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of General Services, and the Administrator for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Unless otherwise specified, all Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other directive material contained in FAC 2005-92 is effective November 18, 2016 except for items I, and II, which are effective December 19, 2016.
