Section 807 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 requires periodic adjustment of statutory acquisitionrelated dollar thresholds, except those established by the Davis-Bacon Act, the Service Contract Act, or trade agreements.

Background This final rule implements Section 807 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Pub. L. 108–375). Section 807 provides for adjustment of statutory acquisitionrelated dollar thresholds every 5 years, except for those established by the Davis-Bacon Act, the Service Contract Act, or trade agreements. This case presented an opportunity to review all acquisition-related dollar thresholds, including those that are non-statutory. DoD published a proposed rule at 71 FR 3446 on January 23, 2006. DoD received one comment from a public-private partnership in response to the proposed rule. That comment related to the proposed increase in the micropurchase spending limit for the General Services Administration SmartPay Purchase Card Program. The comment did not specifically relate to this DFARS case and, therefore, has been forwarded to the General Services Administration for consideration. A matrix showing the thresholds reviewed in preparation of this final rule is available at https:// www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/dfars/ changenotice/index.htm, within the change notice summary containing the same date as this final rule. The statute requires adjustment of acquisitionrelated thresholds for inflation using the Consumer Price Index for all-urban consumers. Acquisition-related thresholds in statutes that were in effect on October 1, 2000, are subject to 5 years of inflation. The inflation adjustment factors in the proposed rule were calculated on the basis of December 2004 data. For the final rule, data through October 2005 was used. This resulted in a slight increase in the calculated inflation adjustment factors. For the 5-year period from October 2000 through October 2005, the inflation adjustment factor increased from 13 percent to 14.5 percent. However, due to rounding, most thresholds shown in the proposed rule did not change. The exceptions are— • DFARS 217.170 and 217.171 (Multiyear Contracting)—Increased from $565.5 million to $572.5 million; and • DFARS 237.170–2 (Service Contracting)—Increased from $77.5 million to $78.5 million. The threshold at DFARS 207.170–3 (Consolidation of Contract Requirements) is the only threshold in the final rule that was not addressed in the proposed rule, because the calculated threshold now rounds up to $5.5 million, from $5 million. The threshold at DFARS 216.203–4, for use of the economic price E:\FR\FM\19DER1.SGM 19DER1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This final rule updates DFARS Appendix F requirements for 
preparation of DD Form 250, Material Inspection and Receiving Report. 
The changes to Appendix F include--
    [cir] Clarification of requirements for marking of shipments when a 
contractor's certificate of conformance is used as the basis for 
acceptance;
    [cir] Relocation of the requirement for the contractor to provide 
sufficient copies of DD Form 250, from F-701 to F-103; and
    [cir] Deletion of procedures for documenting Government contract 
quality assurance performed at a subcontractor's facility and for 
distribution and correction of DD Form 250-1 documents. This text has 
been relocated to the DFARS companion resource, Procedures, Guidance, 
and Information (PGI), at https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/pgi.
    DoD published a proposed rule at 70 FR 39975 on July 12, 2005. One 
respondent submitted comments on the proposed rule. The respondent 
recommended revision of Appendix F and the clause at DFARS 252.246-
7000, Material Inspection and Receiving Report, to clarify that 
contractors are required to include a copy of the receiving report 
(either the paper DD Form 250 or the Wide Area WorkFlow-Receipt and 
Acceptance (WAWF-RA) receiving report) with the shipment. As a result 
of this comment, the proposed change to F-401(a), which stated that use 
of WAWF-RA satisfies DD Form 250 distribution requirements, has been 
excluded from this final rule; and DoD published another proposed rule 
at 71 FR 65769 on November 9, 2006, to request comments on the 
recommended revision.
    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 certifies that this final rule will not 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 rule makes no significant change to DoD policy for the 
preparation and use of material inspection and receiving reports.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The information collection requirements of DD Form 250, Material 
Inspection and Receiving Report, have been approved by the Office of 
Management and Budget under Control Number 0704-0248, for use through 
March 31, 2008.
