SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This final rule--
     Removes text at DFARS 233.204 regarding research of a 
contractor's history of filing claims during a contracting officer's 
review of a current claim. Text on this subject has been relocated to 
the DFARS companion resource, Procedures, Guidance, and Information 
(PGI) at https://www.acq.osd.mil/ dpap/dars/pgi; and
     Revises DFARS 233.210 to remove an obsolete cross-
reference and to add a reference to the guidance added to PGI regarding 
review of a contractor's claim.
    DoD published a proposed rule at 71 FR 34867 on June 16, 2006. The 
proposed rule had provided for total elimination of the text at DFARS 
233.204 and 233.210. One source submitted comments on the proposed 
rule, recommending that, instead of total elimination, the text at 
DFARS 233.204 should be relocated to PGI. DoD has adopted this 
recommendation and has included the corresponding changes in the final 
rule.
    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 regarding 
consideration of claims submitted by contractors.

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.
