Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 222 / Thursday, November 19, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
on January 15, 2009, is adopted as a
final rule without change.
Executive Order 12866, dated

[FR Doc. E9–27849 Filed 11–18–09; 8:45 am]
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
BILLING CODE 5001–08–P
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 contains a
requirement for contractors to inform
employees in writing of their
whistleblower rights and protections,
compliance with this requirement is not
expected to have a significant cost or
administrative impact on contractors.
A. Background
This final rule amends DFARS text at
205.301, by correcting the crossreference in paragraph (a)(s–70)(i)(B) to
the exception for acquisitions of
chemical warfare protective clothing
from the restrictions on food, clothing,
fabrics, and hand or measuring tools at
225.7002.
