I. Background
The DOE regulation at 10 CFR part
1023 which implemented DOE’s
contract appeals procedures and the
Department of Energy Acquisition
Regulation (DEAR) Subchapters A, B,
and C have outdated sections that need
to be updated for consistency with the
Civilian Board of Contract Appeals
(CBCA) provisions of Section 847 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2006, Public Law 109–163,
and provisions of the FAR and the Title
41, chapter 102—Federal Management
Regulation, all of which DOE is
implementing but are not yet reflected
in the DEAR. Today’s proposed rule
would update these regulations.
DOE is proposing to remove
regulations in 10 CFR part 1023 made
obsolete by the establishment of the
CBCA within the General Services
Administration. DOE has already
adjusted its internal procedures to
address the CBCA jurisdiction.
With the proposed changes to
Subchapters A, B, and C, the DEAR
would conform to the FAR, the Title 41,
chapter 101—Federal Property
Management Regulation, and the
Federal Management Regulation. The
objective of this action is to update the
existing DEAR to conform it to the FAR.
None of these changes are substantive or
of a nature to cause any significant
expense for DOE or its contractors.
Changes are proposed to DEAR parts
901, 902, 903, 904, 906, 907, 908, 909,
911, 914, 915, 916, 917, and 952. No
changes are proposed for DEAR parts
905, 910, and 912.
