Washington, DC 20548 B-329577 November 21, 2017 The Honorable Ron Johnson Chairman The Honorable Claire McCaskill Ranking Member Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate The Honorable Trey Gowdy Chairman The Honorable Elijah Cummings Ranking Member Committee on Oversight and Government Reform House of Representatives Subject: Department of Defense, General Services Administration, National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Federal Acquisition Regulation; Removal of Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Rule Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration (GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) (collectively, agencies) entitled Federal Acquisition Regulation; Removal of Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Rule (RIN: 9000-AN52). We received the rule on November 6, 2017. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on November 6, 2017. 82 Fed. Reg. 51,527. A correction which does not affect our report was published on November 8, 2017. 82 Fed. Reg. 51,773. DOD, GSA, and NASA are issuing this final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement a public law that disapproved the final rule, Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces (FAR Case 2014-025), and an executive order dated March 27, 2017, that rescinded the prior executive orders authorizing that rule. Enclosed is our assessment of the agencies' compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801 (a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review of the procedural steps taken indicates that the agencies complied with the applicable requirements.
