FAR Councils make 10 FAR changes in end-of-fiscal-year blitz

On the last day of fiscal year 2016, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Councils issued ten FAR amendments — nine final and one interim — on a broad range of topics.

FAROne rule imposes new risks for contractors with delinquent taxes or felony convictions. Other rules address small business concerns by providing new authority for women-owned small business sole source awards and amending the current policy against unnecessary or unjustified consolidation. Another confirms a previously imposed cap on allowable employee compensation and another may open up new sources of services and supplies in Ukraine and Moldova.

Many of these final rules are implementations of previously issued “interim” rules that have been in effect for the past year or two. All of the new rules were published on Sept. 30, 2016.

A summary of these ten amendments, with links to the Federal Register, appears here: http://www.mondaq.com/article.asp?articleid=533410.

Tool tracks comments on proposed government regulations

The Sunlight Foundation has launched a new open government tool that allows users to track comments on proposed rules by the broader topic, the commenter or the rule itself.

The tool, called Docket Wrench, allows users to search for proposed rules using key works, such as hydraulic fracturing or “fracking.” Users can then drill down to who commented on specific proposed rules. Users can also search for all comments by a specific organization.
