Background DFARS Transformation 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 the acquisition workforce the flexibility to innovate. The transformed DFARS will contain only requirements of law, DoDwide 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. This proposed rule is a result of the DFARS Transformation initiative. The proposed changes update DFARS Appendix F requirements for preparation of DD Form 250, Material Inspection and Receiving Report. The proposed changes include— • Clarification of requirements for marking of shipments when a contractor’s certificate of conformance is used as the basis for acceptance. • Relocation of the requirement for the contractor to provide sufficient copies of DD Form 250, from F–701 to F–103. E:\FR\FM\12JYP1.SGM 12JYP1 39976 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 12, 2005 / Proposed Rules • Clarification that use of Wide Area WorkFlow-Receipt and Acceptance electronic form satisfies DD Form 250 distribution requirements. This is consistent with the clause at DFARS 252.246–7000, Material Inspection and Receiving Report. • Deletion of procedures for documenting Government contract quality assurance performed at a subcontractor’s facility and for distribution and correction of DD Form 250–1 documents. This text will be relocated to the new DFARS companion resource, Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI), available at https:// www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/pgi. This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. B. Regulatory Flexibility Act DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule makes no significant change to DoD policy for preparation and use of material inspection and receiving reports. Therefore, DoD has not performed an initial regulatory flexibility analysis. DoD invites comments from small businesses and other interested parties. DoD also will consider comments from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subpart in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should be submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 2003-D085. C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    DFARS Transformation 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 the acquisition workforce the flexibility to innovate. 
The transformed DFARS will contain only requirements of law, DoD-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.
    This proposed rule is a result of the DFARS Transformation 
initiative. The proposed changes update DFARS Appendix F requirements 
for preparation of DD Form 250, Material Inspection and Receiving 
Report. The proposed changes include--
     Clarification of requirements for marking of shipments 
when a contractor's certificate of conformance is used as the basis for 
acceptance.
     Relocation of the requirement for the contractor to 
provide sufficient copies of DD Form 250, from F-701 to F-103.

[[Page 39976]]

     Clarification that use of Wide Area WorkFlow-Receipt and 
Acceptance electronic form satisfies DD Form 250 distribution 
requirements. This is consistent with the clause at DFARS 252.246-7000, 
Material Inspection and Receiving Report.
     Deletion of procedures for documenting Government contract 
quality assurance performed at a subcontractor's facility and for 
distribution and correction of DD Form 250-1 documents. This text will 
be relocated to the new DFARS companion resource, Procedures, Guidance, 
and Information (PGI), available at https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/

    This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review 
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule 
makes no significant change to DoD policy for preparation and use of 
material inspection and receiving reports. Therefore, DoD has not 
performed an initial regulatory flexibility analysis. DoD invites 
comments from small businesses and other interested parties. DoD also 
will consider comments from small entities concerning the affected 
DFARS subpart in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should be 
submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 2003-D085.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The information collection requirements of DD Form 250, Material 
Inspection and Receiving Report, have been approved by the Office of 
Management and Budget under Control Number 0704-0248, for use through 
March 31, 2008.
