SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    DoD published an interim rule at 71 FR 34832 on June 16, 2006, to 
implement Section 831 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2006 (Pub. L. 109-163) and Section 8118 of the Defense 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Pub. L. 108-287). Section 831 
of Public Law 109-163 amended 10 U.S.C. 2533a(d)(3) to expand the 
exception that permits the acquisition of non-domestic perishable foods 
by activities located outside the United States, to also permit the 
acquisition of such foods by activities

[[Page 6485]]

that are making purchases on behalf of activities located outside the 
United States. Section 8118 of Public Law 108-287 established a 
permanent requirement for the acquisition of domestic fish, shellfish, 
and seafood, including fish, shellfish, and seafood contained in foods 
manufactured or processed in the United States. This requirement 
previously had been included in Defense Appropriations Acts on an 
annual basis.
    DoD received no comments on the interim rule. Therefore, DoD has 
adopted the interim rule as a final rule without change.
    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 applies only to: (1) The acquisition of perishable 
foods for DoD activities located outside the United States, and (2) 
continuation of the existing requirement for the acquisition of 
domestic fish, shellfish, and seafood.

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.
