SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    The provision at DFARS 252.209-7001, Disclosure of Ownership or 
Control by the Government of a Terrorist Country, implements 10 U.S.C. 
2327, which prohibits DoD from entering into a contract with a firm 
that is owned or controlled by the government of a country that has 
been determined by the Secretary of State to repeatedly provide support 
for acts of international terrorism. This final rule removes Libya from 
the terrorist countries listed in the provision at DFARS 252.209-7001, 
since the Secretary of State has removed Libya from the list of 
designated state sponsors of terrorism.
    This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review 
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This rule will not have a significant cost or administrative impact 
on contractors or offerors, or a significant effect beyond the internal 
operating procedures of DoD. Therefore,

consider comments from small entities concerning the affected DFARS 
subpart in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should cite 
DFARS Case 2006-D034.

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.
