Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 28 / Monday, February 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    DoD published an interim rule at 71 FR 34833 on June 16, 2006, to 
implement Section 344 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2006 (Pub. L. 109-163). Section 344 extends, through 
September 30, 2007, the period during which contractor performance of 
security-guard functions at military installations or facilities is 
authorized to fulfill additional requirements resulting from the 
terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.
    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. 
Although the rule may provide opportunities for small business concerns 
to receive contracts for the performance of security-guard functions at 
military installations or facilities, the economic impact is not 
expected to be substantial.

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.
