Rule Listed in FAC 2005-96 Subject FAR case Analyst Removal of Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Rule 2017-015 Delgado. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summary for the FAR rule follows. For the actual revisions and/or amendments made by this FAR case, refer to the specific item number and subject set forth in the document following this item summary. FAC 2005-96 amends the FAR as specified below: Removal of Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Rule (FAR Case 2017-015) This final rule rescinds the final rule at 81 FR 58562 (August 25, 2016). This was FAR Case 2014-025, Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces, which was a significant rule under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 and a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804. Because of a Federal court injunction, the only provision or clause that had gone into effect was FAR 52.222-60, Paycheck Transparency (Executive Order 13673), which was included in solicitations starting on January 1, 2017. On March 27, 2017, Public Law 115-11 disapproved the rule under the Congressional Review Act. Therefore, by law, the rule has no force or effect, including the FAR 52.222-60 clause. Also on March 27, 2017, E.O. 13782, Revocation of Federal Contracting Executive Orders, rescinded the E.O.s that originally authorized the rule. All steps should be taken to ensure that no sections, provisions, or clauses of the final rule are implemented. Dated: October 11, 2017. William F. Clark, Director, Office of Government-wide Acquisition Policy, Office of Acquisition Policy, Office of Governmentwide Policy. [FR Doc. 2017-23598 Filed 11-3-17; 8:45 am]
