SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 802(a) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007
(Pub. L. 109–364) requires that DoD
program managers for major weapon
systems, and subsystems of major
weapon systems, assess the long-term
technical data needs of such systems
and subsystems and establish
corresponding acquisition strategies that
provide for technical data rights needed
to sustain such systems and subsystems
over their life cycle. This interim rule
amends DFARS Parts 207 and 227 to
implement Section 802(a) of Public Law
109–364. Although the law does not
address requirements for computer
software, it is long-standing DoD policy
to apply the same or similar
requirements to both technical data and
computer software, since many issues
are common to both. Therefore, this
interim DFARS rule applies to both
technical data and computer software.
This rule was not subject to Office of
Management and Budget review under
Executive Order 12866, dated
September 30, 1993.
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 acquisition
planning that is 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-D055.
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.
Frm 00030

A determination has been made under
the authority of the Secretary of Defense
that urgent and compelling reasons exist
to publish an interim rule prior to
affording the public an opportunity to
comment. This interim rule implements
Section 802(a) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007
(Pub. L. 109–364). Section 802(a)
requires DoD to revise regulations to
incorporate requirements for program
managers to assess the long-term
technical data needs of major weapon
systems and subsystems, and to
establish corresponding acquisition
strategies that provide for technical data
rights needed to sustain such systems
and subsystems over their life cycle.
Comments received in response to this
interim rule will be considered in the
formation of the final rule.

(S–70)(1) In accordance with Section
802(a) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007
(Pub. L. 109–364) and DoD policy
requirements, acquisition plans for
major weapon systems and subsystems
of major weapon systems shall—
(i) Assess the long-term technical data
and computer software needs of those
systems and subsystems; and
(ii) Establish acquisition strategies
that provide for the technical data
deliverables and associated license
rights needed to sustain those systems
and subsystems over their life cycle.
The strategy may include—
(A) The development of maintenance
capabilities within DoD; or
(B) Competition for contracts for
sustainment of the systems or
subsystems.
