SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background This final rule amends the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation GSAR to change instances of commercial items with commercial products, commercial servicess, or both commercial products and commercial services to match similar actions taken in the Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR.
FAR Case 2018018 was published as a final rule at 86 FR 61017 on November 4, 2021, to implement section 836 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019
to separate the definition of commercial item into the definitions of commercial product and commercial service.
It is important to note that the amendment to separate commercial item with commercial product and commercial service 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.
II. Authority for This Rulemaking Title 40 of the United States Code U.S.C. Section 121 authorizes GSA to issue regulations, including the GSAR, to control the relationship between GSA
and contractors.
III. Discussion and Analysis As changed by FAR Case 2018018, and as required by section 836 of the NDAA for FY 2019, this final rule replaces instances of commercial items with commercial products, commercial services, or both commercial products and commercial services.
This final rule also replaces all instances of non-commercial and noncommercial with other than commercial as it relates to this rule.
This is an editorial change and will provide consistent language to the FAR
and throughout the GSAR.
Other minor editorial changes are made in this final rule to provide consistent language.
IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders E.O.s 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity. E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has been reviewed and determined by OMB not to be a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6b of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993.
V. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a major rule may take
