Comment on FR Doc # 2012-30550

I do not understand why we are looking to add additional regulations to a set of documents that already has this covered. If we would just follow the existing FAR #52.232-1 as it pertains to prime contractors submitting payments we would alleviate the practice of prime's getting paid and then turning around and not paying thier subcontractors. Another thing we could do to help all contractors of the federal government, in my case the VA, is to actually pay the contractors within 30 of their dated invoices. As it stands right now Austin, TX does not start the clock until they recieve the invoice, that causes hardships on all payment requests from contractors should the request get hung up on a COTR or COR or CO's desk. Additional FARS are not needed just utilize what is existing and problem solved!
