Example 3. Unmarried roommates and colessees C and D provide housing to eight Hurricane Katrina displaced individuals during 2005. Under paragraphs (a) and (c)(1)(i)(A) of this section, C and D each may reduce taxable income by $2,000 on their 2005 income tax returns. Example 4. (i) H and W are married to each other and provide housing to a Hurricane Katrina displaced individual, O, in 2005. H and W file their 2005 income tax return married filing jointly. Under paragraphs (a) and (c)(4) of this section, H and W may reduce taxable income by $500 on their 2005 income tax return with respect to O. (ii) In 2006, H and W provide housing to O and to another Hurricane Katrina displaced individual, P. H and W file their 2006 income tax return married filing separately. Because H and W reduced their 2005 taxable income with respect to O, under paragraph (c)(3) of this section, neither H nor W may reduce taxable income on their 2006 income tax return with respect to O. Under paragraphs (a) and (c)(4) of this section, either H or W, but not both, may reduce taxable income by $500 on his or her 2006 income tax return with respect to P. (g) Effective date.

DoD believes it is in the best interests of the Department to select, and make mandatory, the option requiring separate fixed hourly rates that include profit for each category of labor performed by the contractor and each subcontractor, and for each category of labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common control. The reasons for selection of this option include— (1) The relatively large dollar value of many DoD non-commercial time-andmaterials and labor-hour contracts; (2) The significant oversight and legislative initiatives that have focused on DoD in recent years; and (3) The preponderance of DoD noncommercial time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts performed by traditional DoD contractors and subcontractors, who already have the necessary mechanisms in place to establish separate fixed hourly rates for each performing entity without significant administrative burden. This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. In accordance with established rulemaking procedures, DoD will coordinate with the Office of Management and Budget regarding public comments received in response to this interim rule prior to the issuance of a final rule. A. Background This interim DFARS rule supplements the final Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) rule published in Federal Acquisition Circular 2005–15, under FAR Case 2004–015. The FAR rule clarifies payment procedures for noncommercial time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts, and prescribes the following three options for establishing fixed hourly rates on competitively awarded non-commercial time-andmaterials and labor-hour contracts: (1) Separate rates that include profit for each category of labor performed by the contractor and each subcontractor, and for each category of labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common control. (2) Blended rates that include profit for each category of labor performed by the contractor and its subcontractors, and labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common control. (3) Any combination of separate and blended rates for each category of labor. The FAR rule also authorizes agencies to select, and make mandatory, one of B. Regulatory Flexibility Act This rule may impact a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. DoD has prepared an initial regulatory flexibility analysis, which is summarized as follows: The objective of the rule is to select the FAR option for establishing labor rates that is the most suitable for DoD competitively awarded, non-commercial time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts. The legal basis for the rule is 41 U.S.C. 421. The rule will apply to all entities interested in receiving DoD competitively awarded non-commercial time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts. The impact on small entities is unknown at this time. DoD believes that, for non-commercial time-andmaterials and labor-hour contracts, it is in the best interests of the Department to require use of the FAR option that provides for the establishment of separate fixed hourly rates for each category of labor performed by the contractor and each subcontractor, and for each category of labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:58 Dec 11, 2006 Jkt 211001 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 affiliates of the contractor under a common control.

Regulations governing the Atlantic bluefish fishery require publication of this notification to advise New York that the quota has been harvested and to advise vessel permit holders and dealer permit holders that no commercial quota is available for landing bluefish in New York. DATES: Effective 0001 hours, December 12, 2006, through 2400 hours, December 31, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Douglas Potts, Fishery Management Specialist, (978) 281–9341. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulations governing the Atlantic bluefish fishery are found at 50 CFR part 648. The regulations require annual specification of a commercial quota that is apportioned on a percentage basis among the coastal states from Florida through Maine. The process to set the annual commercial quota and the percent allocated to each state is described in § 648.160. The initial coast wide commercial quota for Atlantic bluefish for the 2006 calendar year was set equal to 4,215,802 lb (1,912 mt) (71 FR 9472, February 24, 2006). The initial commercial quota was adjusted by transferring 3,865,294 lb (1,753 mt) from the recreational allocation, resulting in a total commercial quota of 8,081,096 lb (3,666 mt). The percent allocated to vessels landing bluefish in New York is 10.3851 percent, resulting in an initial PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 74471 commercial quota of 839,230 lb (380,672 kg). The 2006 allocation was reduced to 775,526 lb (351,773 kg) (71 FR 27977, May 15, 2006) due to research set-aside and a quota overage in 2005. New York received transfers of commercial bluefish quota from Virginia (71 FR 42315, July 26, 2006) and Florida (71 FR 51531, August 30, 2006), which resulted in a 2006 allocation of 1,025,526 lb (465,171 kg). Section 648.161(b) requires the Administrator, Northeast Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator) to monitor state commercial quotas and to determine when a state’s commercial quota has been harvested. NMFS then publishes a notification in the Federal Register to advise the state and to notify Federal vessel and dealer permit holders that, effective upon a specific date, the state’s commercial quota has been harvested and no commercial quota is available for landing bluefish in that state. The Regional Administrator has determined, based upon dealer reports and other available information, that New York has harvested its quota for 2006. The regulations at § 648.4(b) provide that Federal permit holders agree, as a condition of the permit, not to land bluefish in any state that the Regional Administrator has determined no longer has commercial quota available. Therefore, effective 0001 hours, December 12, 2006, further landings of bluefish in New York by vessels holding Atlantic bluefish commercial Federal fisheries permits are prohibited for the remainder of the 2006 calendar year, unless additional quota becomes available through a transfer and is announced in the Federal Register. Effective 0001 hours, December 12, 2006, federally permitted dealers are also notified that they may not purchase bluefish from federally permitted vessels that land in New York for the remainder of the calendar year, or until additional quota becomes available through a transfer. Classification This action is required by 50 CFR part 648 and is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. Dated: December 5, 2006. James P.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This interim DFARS rule supplements the final Federal Acquisition 
Regulation (FAR) rule published in Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-
15, under FAR Case 2004-015. The FAR rule clarifies payment procedures 
for non-commercial time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts, and 
prescribes the following three options for establishing fixed hourly 
rates on competitively awarded non-commercial time-and-materials and 
labor-hour contracts:
    (1) Separate rates that include profit for each category of labor 
performed by the contractor and each subcontractor, and for each 
category of labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or 
affiliates of the contractor under a common control.
    (2) Blended rates that include profit for each category of labor 
performed by the contractor and its subcontractors, and labor 
transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the 
contractor under a common control.
    (3) Any combination of separate and blended rates for each category 
of labor.
    The FAR rule also authorizes agencies to select, and make 
mandatory, one of the three options at the agency level. DoD believes 
it is in the best interests of the Department to select, and make 
mandatory, the option requiring separate fixed hourly rates that 
include profit for each category of labor performed by the contractor 
and each subcontractor, and for each category of labor transferred 
between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under 
a common control. The reasons for selection of this option include--
    (1) The relatively large dollar value of many DoD non-commercial 
time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts;
    (2) The significant oversight and legislative initiatives that have 
focused on DoD in recent years; and
    (3) The preponderance of DoD non-commercial time-and-materials and 
labor-hour contracts performed by traditional DoD contractors and 
subcontractors, who already have the necessary mechanisms in place to 
establish separate fixed hourly rates for each performing entity 
without significant administrative burden.
    This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review 
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. In accordance 
with established rulemaking procedures, DoD will coordinate with the 
Office of Management and Budget regarding public comments received in 
response to this interim rule prior to the issuance of a final rule.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This rule may impact a substantial number of small entities within 
the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. 
DoD has prepared an initial regulatory flexibility analysis, which is 
summarized as follows:
    The objective of the rule is to select the FAR option for 
establishing labor rates that is the most suitable for DoD 
competitively awarded, non-commercial time-and-materials and labor-hour 
contracts. The legal basis for the rule is 41 U.S.C. 421. The rule will 
apply to all entities interested in receiving DoD competitively awarded 
non-commercial time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts. The impact 
on small entities is unknown at this time. DoD believes that, for non-
commercial time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts, it is in the 
best interests of the Department to require use of the FAR option that 
provides for the establishment of separate fixed hourly rates for each 
category of labor performed by the contractor and each subcontractor, 
and for each category of labor transferred between divisions, 
subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common control.
    A copy of the analysis may be obtained from the point of contact 
specified herein. DoD invites comments from small businesses and other 
interested parties. DoD also will consider comments from small entities 
concerning the affected DFARS subparts in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. 
Such comments should be submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 
2006-D030.

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.

D. Determination To Issue an Interim Rule

    A determination has been made under the authority of the Secretary 
of Defense that urgent and compelling reasons exist to publish an 
interim rule prior to affording the public an opportunity to comment. 
This interim rule provides policy for reimbursing labor costs on 
competitively awarded DoD non-commercial time-and-materials and labor-
hour contracts. DoD believes it is in the best interests of the 
Department to require the establishment of separate fixed hourly rates 
for each category of labor performed by the contractor and each 
subcontractor, and for each category of labor transferred between 
divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common 
control. The reasons for this decision include--
    (1) The relatively large dollar value of many DoD non-commercial 
time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts;
    (2) The significant oversight and legislative initiatives that have 
focused on DoD in recent years; and
    (3) The preponderance of DoD non-commercial time-and-materials and 
labor-hour contracts performed by traditional DoD contractors and 
subcontractors, who already have the necessary mechanisms in place to 
establish separate fixed hourly rates for each performing entity 
without significant administrative burden.
    Comments received in response to this interim rule will be 
considered in the formation of the final rule.
