SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    DoD uses the Aviation Into-plane Reimbursement (AIR) card for 
purchases of aviation fuel and oil at commercial airport facilities. 
The AIR card is a centrally-billed, Government commercial purchase card 
that is an alternative to use of the Standard Form 44, Purchase Order-
Invoice-Voucher. This proposed rule amends DFARS 213.306 to address use 
of the AIR card. In addition, the proposed rule amends DFARS 213.301 to 
clarify that DoD has multiple fuel card programs.
    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 proposed 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 AIR card is an alternative to use of the Standard Form 44, 
Purchase Order-Invoice-Voucher, designed primarily for on-the-spot, 
over-the-counter purchases while away from the purchasing office or at 
isolated activities. 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 2006-D017.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply, because the rule does 
not impose any information collection requirements that require the 
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, 
et seq.
