This clause provides direction to the contractor that they must comply with the NPR. The NPR changes from time to time and so as to not have to revise clause 1852.211–70 every time the NPR changes it would be best to delete the ‘‘alpha’’ and ‘‘date’’ associated with the NPR. The revised clause will require the contractor to comply with the most recent version of the NPR which purpose is to establish a standard streamlined approach for packaging, handling, and transportation shipment activities to adequately maintain the reliability of NASA items and achieve their damage-free delivery to the place and time of ultimate use. In addition, this change will ensure consistency with the rest of the NFS because the date and alpha are not referenced when citing a particular NPR in other NFS clauses. This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804. NASA procedural requirements will have little or no impact on small businesses. B. Regulatory Flexibility Act This final rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities with the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., because contractors are required to comply with this clause when packaging, handling, and transporting, and shipping on behalf of NASA to maintain reliability of NASA items and to achieve damage-free delivery to their time and place of ultimate use and therefore, changing the date of the * PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 C.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule revises the NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) by 
amending the definition of ``Contracting activity'' and ``Head of the 
contracting activity (HCA)'' consistent with the mission of the NASA 
Shared Services Center (NSSC) which is to provide selected services in 
support of Human Resources, Procurement, Financial Management and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    On May 13, 2005, the Assistant Administrator for Procurement 
approved a deviation to NFS 1802.101 to designate the Executive 
Director for the NSSC as head of the contracting activity for all 
contracts that directly support the NSSC. This final rule implements 
that deviation.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This final rule does not constitute a significant revision within 
the meaning of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98-577, and publication for 
public comment is not required. However, NASA will consider comments 
from small entities concerning the affected NFS Part 1802 in accordance 
with 5 U.S.C. 610.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes do
