Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 229 / Thursday, December 2, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This rule has been reviewed and determined by OMB not to be a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
8042.
VI. Notice for Public Comment The statute that applies to the publication of the GSAR is the Office of Federal Procurement Policy statute codified at title 41 of the United States Code. Specifically, 41 U.S.C. 1707a1
requires that a procurement policy, regulation, procedure or form including an amendment or modification thereof must be published for public comment if it relates to the expenditure of appropriated funds, and has either a significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of the agency issuing the policy, regulation, procedure, or form, or has a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors. This rule is not required to be published for public comment, because GSA is not issuing a new regulation; rather, this rule is merely an editorial change and will provide consistent language to the FAR
pursuant to section 836 of the John S.
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 throughout the GSAR. The rule does not expand or shrink the universe of products or services that the Government may procure using GSAR part 512, nor does it change the terms and conditions vendors must comply with.
This rule does not add any new solicitation provisions or contract clauses. This rule merely replaces the term commercial items with commercial products, commercial services, commercial products or commercial services, or commercial products and commercial services in the GSAR including in part 552, as appropriate. It does not add any new burdens because the case does not add or change any requirements with which vendors must comply.

VII. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq. does not apply to this rule, because an opportunity for public comment is not required to be given for this rule under 41 U.S.C. 1707a1 see Section VI. of this preamble.
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none has been prepared.
