SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department did not receive any
comments to its interim final rule on
this subject. Accordingly, the interim
final rule amending 48 CFR Chapter 12
which was published at 70 FR 6505 on
February 7, 2005, is adopted as a final
rule without substantive change.
On February 21, 2005, the Department
of Transportation was reorganized by,
among other changes, establishing two
new operating administrations. This is
an internal organizational change to the
Department not requiring public
comment. This final rule includes a
change in nomenclature to ensure that
the rule includes the present names of
DOT operating administrations. In
addition, there are few minor editorial
corrections.
