All comments received will be posted to https://emissary.acq.osd.mil/dar/ dfars.nsf. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Amy Williams, (703) 602–0328. 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 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 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 E:\FR\FM\22FEP1.SGM 22FEP1
