Title: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2021-016, Minimizing the Risk of Climate Change in Federal Acquisitions 
Abstract:
DoD, GSA, and NASA are withdrawing the proposed rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) titled: Minimizing the Risk of Climate Change in Federal Acquisitions. This proposed rule was being developed in accordance with section 5(b)(ii) of the Executive Order 14030 titled "Climate-Related Financial Risk” and would have allowed agencies to: (1) provide a preference for proposed solutions that have lower life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions; and (2) require a Federal contractor to identify and manage climate risks that may impact contract performance. The agencies lack sufficient time during the Biden-Harris Administration to finalize this proposal. Accordingly, the proposed rule is withdrawn and FAR Case 2021-016 is closed.
