SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This proposed rule revises DFARS 204.804 to remove text addressing 
DoD procedures for closeout of contract files. The text will be 
relocated to the DFARS companion resource, Procedures, Guidance, and 
Information (PGI). The proposed rule also amends DFARS 244.304 to 
clarify an existing reference to corresponding PGI text.

[[Page 14257]]

    Additional information on PGI is available at https://
www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/pgi/index.htm.
    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 does not expect this rule to 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 
pertains to administrative procedures for contract closeout functions 
performed by the Government. Therefore, DoD has not performed an 
initial regulatory flexibility analysis. 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-D045.

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.
