filed by Charles Crawford requesting the
allotment of Channel 231A at Mt.
Enterprise, Texas. The coordinates for
Channel 231A at Mt. Enterprise are 31–
59–40 and 94–40–29. There is a site
restriction 8.5 kilometers (5.3 miles)
north of the community. To
accommodate the allotment at Mt.
Enterprise, petitioner has requested a
site change for vacant Channel 231C2 at
Hodge, Louisiana, from 32–08–20 and
52–59–04 to a site 20.5 kilometers
southwest of Hodge at coordinates 32–

application was later filed by Cumulus
Licensing LLC, licensee of Station
KQXY–FM, Channel 231C1, Beaumont,
Texas, which conflicts with the
proposed Mt. Enterprise allotment. See
BPH–20031119AAE. This application

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: DoD is proposing to amend
the Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to
update text pertaining to restrictions on
the acquisition of foreign ball and roller
bearings. This proposed rule is a result
of a transformation initiative undertaken
by DoD to dramatically change the
purpose and content of the DFARS.

should be submitted in writing to the
address shown below on or before April
25, 2005, to be considered in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
This proposed rule is a result of
DFARS Transformation, which is a
major DoD initiative to dramatically
change the purpose and content of the
DFARS. The objective is to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of the
acquisition process, while allowing
acquisition workforce the flexibility to
innovate. The transformed DFARS will
contain only requirements of law, DoD-
PO 00000
Frm 00016

wide policies, delegations of FAR
authorities, deviations from FAR
requirements, and policies/procedures
that have a significant effect beyond the
internal operating procedures of DoD or
a significant cost or administrative
impact on contractors or offerors.
Additional information on the DFARS
Transformation initiative is available at
https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dfars/
transf.htm.
10 U.S.C. 2534 and annual Defense
appropriations acts contain restrictions
on the acquisition of foreign ball and
roller bearings. These restrictions are
implemented in DFARS 225.7009 and in
the clause at DFARS 252.225–7016,
Restriction on Acquisition of Ball and
Roller Bearings. This rule proposes to
clarify DFARS 225.7009 and 252.225–
7016 by (1) only addressing the
exceptions, waivers, and waiver
authority available to the contracting
officer under current law; and (2)
applying the exception to 10 U.S.C.
2534, authorized by Section 8003 of the
Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of
1994 (Public Law 103–355; 41 U.S.C.
430), as implemented at DFARS
212.504(a)(xviii), to bearings that are
commercial components of noncommercial end items or components.
The only exception to the annual
Defense appropriations act restrictions
on the acquisition of foreign bearings is
the exception for contracts or
subcontracts for the acquisition of
commercial items, except for
commercial ball and roller bearings
acquired as end items. 10 U.S.C. 2534,
as currently implemented at DFARS
225.7009–2(a)(2), provides an exception
for commercial items incorporating ball
or roller bearings. This exception does
not apply to bearings that are
commercial components of a noncommercial item. However, as a result
of Section 8003 of the Federal
Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994,
DFARS 212.504(a)(xviii) lists 10 U.S.C.
2534 as a law that is not applicable to
subcontracts at any tier for the
acquisition of commercial items.
Applying this ‘‘any tier’’ interpretation
to bearings would be consistent with the
annual Defense appropriations acts’
commercial item exception, and would
provide a single consistent exception to
the statutory restrictions on the
acquisition of foreign bearings.
The annual Defense appropriations
acts allow the Secretary of a military
department to waive bearing domestic
source restrictions on a case-by-case
basis. The justification for the waiver
must establish that (1) adequate
domestic supplies are not available to
meet DoD requirements on a timely
basis; and (2) such an acquisition must
