Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the
dollar threshold changes are designed to
keep pace with inflation and thus
maintain the status quo. Therefore, an

has not been performed. The Councils
invite comments from small business
concerns and other interested parties on
the expected impact of this rule on
small entities.
The Councils will also consider
comments from small entities
concerning the existing regulations in

with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties
must submit such comments separately
and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 (FAC

correspondence.
D. 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

prescriptions for use of the
certifications. However, there is no
impact on the estimated burden hours,

4. Amend section 25.504–2 by
revising Example 1. to read as follows:
Therefore, DoD, GSA, and NASA
amend 48 CFR parts 22, 25, and 52 as
set forth below:
■ 1. The authority citation for 48 CFR
parts 22, 25, and 52 continues to read
as follows:
■
A determination has been made under
the authority of the Secretary of Defense
(DOD), the Administrator of General
Services (GSA), and the Administrator
of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), 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
United States Trade Representative.
This action is necessary because the
new thresholds became effective on
January 1, 2010. However, pursuant to
41 U.S.C. 418b and FAR 1.501–3(b), the
Councils will consider public comments
received in response to this interim rule
in the formation of the final rule. Absent
this regulatory change, this requirement
would not be incorporated into the FAR
and implemented by the acquisition
community.

B. Executive Order 12866
This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was 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.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Councils do not expect this interim rule to have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the
[[Page 38690]]
meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,
because the dollar threshold changes are designed to keep pace with
inflation and thus maintain the status quo. Therefore, an Initial
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has not been performed. The Councils
invite comments from small business concerns and other interested
parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.
The Councils will also consider comments from small entities
concerning the existing regulations in parts affected by this rule in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such
comments separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 (FAC 2005-43, FAR Case
2009-040) in all correspondence.
D. 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
9000-0130 (FAR 52.225-4), 9000-0025 (FAR 52.225-6) and 9000-0141 (FAR
52.225-9, 52.225-11, 52.225-21, and 52.225-23). The interim rule
affects the prescriptions for use of the certifications. However, there
is no impact on the estimated burden hours, because the threshold
changes are in line with inflation and maintain the status quo.
E. Determination To Issue an Interim Rule
A determination has been made under the authority of the Secretary
of Defense (DOD), the Administrator of General Services (GSA), and the
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA), 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 United States Trade
Representative. This action is necessary because the new thresholds
became effective on January 1, 2010. However, pursuant to 41 U.S.C.
418b and FAR 1.501-3(b), the Councils will consider public comments
received in response to this interim rule in the formation of the final
rule. Absent this regulatory change, this requirement would not be
incorporated into the FAR and implemented by the acquisition community.
