Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 40 / Thursday, February 28, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
This is not a significant regulatory
action and, therefore, was not subject to
review under Section 6(b) of Executive
Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This interim rule is not expected 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. The
dollar threshold changes are designed to
keep pace with inflation and thus
maintain the status quo. Therefore, we
have not performed an Initial Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis. We invite
comments from small business concerns
and other interested parties on this
issue. The Councils will also consider
comments from small entities
concerning the affected FAR subparts
22, 25, and 52 in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 610. Interested parties should
submit such comments separately and
should cite 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. (FAR
Case 2007–016), in correspondence.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
apply, because the interim rule affects
the prescriptions for use of the
certifications at 52.225–4 (OMB Control
9000–0130), 52.225–6 (OMB Control
9000–0025), and the clauses at 52.225–
9 and 52.225–11 (OMB Control 9000–
0141), which contain information
collection requirements approved under
the specified OMB control numbers by
the Office of Management and Budget
under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. However,
there is no impact on the estimated
burden hours, because the threshold
changes are in line with inflation and
maintain the status quo.
D. Determination To Issue an Interim
Rule
A determination has been made under
the authority of the Secretary of
Defense, the Administrator of General
Services, and the Administrator of the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, that urgent and
compelling reasons exist to promulgate
this interim rule without prior
opportunity for public comment. This
interim rule incorporates increased
dollar thresholds for application of the
World Trade Organization Government
Procurement Agreement and the Free
Trade Agreements, as determined by the
USTR. This action is necessary because
the new thresholds are scheduled to go
into effect January 1, 2008. However,
pursuant to Public Law 98–577 and FAR
1.501, the Councils will consider public
comments received in response to this
interim rule in the formation of the final
rule.

ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency
Acquisition Council and the Defense
Acquisition Regulations Council
(Councils) have agreed to adopt the
interim rule published in the Federal
Register at 72 FR 46357, August 17,
2007, as a final rule without change.
This final rule amends the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to
implement the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free
Trade Agreement with respect to the
Dominican Republic.
DATES: Effective Date: February 28,
2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Meredith Murphy, Procurement
Analyst, at (202) 208–6925 for
clarification of content. For information
pertaining to status or publication
schedules, contact the FAR Secretariat
at (202) 501–4755. Please cite FAC
2005–24, FAR case 2006–028.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
DoD, GSA, and NASA published an
interim rule with request for comments
in the Federal Register at 72 FR 46357,
August 17, 2007. The comment period
closed October 16, 2007. No public
comments were received in response to
the interim rule.
The interim rule amended FAR part
25 and the corresponding clauses in
FAR part 52 to implement the
Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement
(CAFTA–DR) with respect to the
Dominican Republic. Congress
approved this trade agreement in the
Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 109–53).
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
This trade agreement waives the
applicability of the Buy American Act
for some foreign supplies and
construction materials from the
Dominican Republic and specifies
procurement procedures designed to
ensure fairness in the acquisition of
supplies and services.
The Dominican Republic has the same
thresholds as the other CAFTA–DR
countries ($67,826 for supply and
service contracts, $7,443,000 for
construction contracts).
The interim rule also added Bulgaria
and Romania to the list of World Trade
Organization Government Procurement
Agreement countries wherever it
appears, whether as a separate
definition, part of the definition of
designated countries, or as part of the
list of countries exempt from the
prohibition of acquisition of products
produced by forced or indentured child
labor (FAR parts 22.1503, 25.003,
52.222–19, 52.225–5, and 52.225–11).
This is not a significant regulatory
action and, therefore, was not subject to
review under Section 6(b) of Executive
Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Department of Defense, the
General Services Administration, and
the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration certify 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 opens up Government procurement
to the goods and services of Bulgaria,
the Dominican Republic, and Romania,
the Councils do not anticipate any
significant economic impact on U.S.
small businesses. No comments were
received from small business concerns.
Therefore, a Final Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis was not performed.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
apply; however, these changes to the
FAR do not impose additional
information collection requirements to
the paperwork burden previously
approved under OMB Control Numbers
9000–0025, 9000–0130, 9000–0136, and
9000–0141 respectively. The final rule
affects the certification and information
collection requirements in the
provisions at FAR 52.212–3, 52.225–4,
52.225–6, and 52.225–11.

affects the prescriptions for use of the certifications at 52.225-4
(OMB Control 9000-0130), 52.225-6 (OMB Control 9000-0025), and the
clauses at 52.225-9 and 52.225-11 (OMB Control 9000-0141), which
contain information collection requirements approved under the
specified OMB control numbers by the Office of Management and Budget
under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. However, there is no impact on the
estimated burden hours, because the threshold changes are in line with
inflation and maintain the status quo.
D. Determination To Issue an Interim Rule
A determination has been made under the authority of the Secretary
of Defense, the Administrator of General Services, and the
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
that urgent and compelling reasons exist to promulgate this interim
rule without prior opportunity for public comment. This interim rule
incorporates increased dollar thresholds for application of the World
Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and the Free Trade
Agreements, as determined by the USTR. This action is necessary because
the new thresholds are scheduled to go into effect January 1, 2008.
However, pursuant to Public Law 98-577 and FAR 1.501, the Councils will
consider public comments received in response to this interim rule in
the formation of the final rule.
