On November 12, 2008, the FAR Council will publish the long-awaited final acquisition rule imposing mandatory disclosure obligations on federal contractors and subcontractors for "significant overpayments," violations of Federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery or gratuity violations, and violations of the civil False Claims Act. Federal contractors executing a new contract after December 12, 2008, including a commercial item contract or one performed overseas, expected to exceed $5 million and with a performance period of at least 120 days, will be required to make timely disclosures to the agency Inspector General and Contracting Officer and will face potential suspension or debarment for knowing failure to make such disclosures.

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
