<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 190 / Friday, October 1, 2010 / Proposed Rules
SIP revision. Because that cost will not
exceed $100 million, this proposal (if it
is a federal mandate at all) is not subject
to the requirements of sections 202 and
205 of UMRA (2 U.S.C. 1532 and 1535).
EPA has also determined that this
proposal would not result in regulatory
requirements that might significantly or
uniquely affect small governments
because only the State would take any
action as result of today’s rule, and thus
the requirements of section 203 (2
U.S.C. 1533) do not apply.
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism
Executive Order 13132 requires EPA
to develop an accountable process to
ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by
State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that
have federalism implications.’’ This rule
will not have substantial direct effects
on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government, as
specified in Executive Order 13132,
because it merely proposes to
redesignate an area for Clean Air Act
planning purposes and does not alter
the relationship or the distribution of
power and responsibilities established
in the Clean Air Act. Thus, the
requirements of section 6 of the
Executive Order do not apply to this
rule.
F. Executive Order 13175, Coordination
With Indian Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled
‘‘Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000), requires EPA
to develop an accountable process to
ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by
tribal officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have tribal
implications.’’ The area proposed for
redesignation does not yet include, and
EPA is deferring action on the Ak-Chin
Indian Reservation, the Pinal County
portion of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, and TON’s Florence Village
and San Lucy Farm. In formulating its
further action on these areas, EPA has
been communicating with and plans to
continue to consult with representatives
of the Tribes, as provided in Executive
Order 13175. Accordingly, EPA has
addressed Executive Order 13175 to the
extent that it applies to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks
This proposed rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 (‘‘Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:54 Sep 30, 2010
Jkt 223001
Risks’’) (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
because it is not an economically
significant regulatory action based on
health or safety risks.
H. Executive Order 13211, Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This rule is not subject to Executive
Order 13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66
FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is
not a significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
Section 12 of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act
(NTTAA) of 1995 requires Federal
agencies to evaluate existing technical
standards when developing a new
regulation. The EPA believes that the
requirements of NTTAA are
inapplicable to this action because they
would be inconsistent with the Clean
Air Act.
J. Executive Order 12898, Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
Today’s action proposes to
redesignate an area to nonattainment for
an ambient air quality standard. It will
not have disproportionately high and
adverse effects on any communities in
the area, including minority and lowincome communities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr.
Julian E. Thrash, 703–602–0310.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
DoD is proposing to add language to
the DFARS to make electronic
distribution procedures a routine part of
order issuance. This case establishes a
standard method for issuance of orders
via electronic means. DoD currently has
the capability to distribute orders
electronically on a routine basis, and
can post those orders centrally to a site
any contractor can access.
DoD is proposing the following
changes:
• Add the prescription at DFARS
216.506(a) to require a new clause
252.216–70XX, Ordering, in lieu of the
clause at FAR 52.216–18, Ordering, in
solicitations and contracts when a
definite-quantity contract, a
requirements contract, or an indefinitequantity contract is contemplated; and
• Add a new clause at DFARS
252.216–70XX, Ordering.
This change may have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small
entities within the meaning of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601,
et seq.
DoD has prepared an initial regulatory
flexibility analysis consistent with 5
U.S.C. 603. A copy of the analysis may
be obtained from the point of contact
specified herein. The objective of this
rule is that, as the DoD now has the
capability to distribute orders
electronically on a routine basis and can
post those orders centrally to a Web site
that any contractor can access, the
DFARS needs to provide language that
will make those procedures a routine
part of contract issuance. This rule will
enable DoD to further the goals of the E–
Government Act of 2002.
For Fiscal Year 2009, DoD made

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

not apply because the rule does not

Therefore, DoD proposes to amend 48
CFR parts 216 and 252 as follows:
1. The authority citation for 48 CFR
parts 216 and 252 continues to read as
follows:
Authority: 41 U.S.C. 421 and 48 CFR
chapter 1.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
PO 00000
(DUNS) numbers using the clause at
FAR 52.216–18, Ordering. The benefit of
this rule to small business is that it will
make electronic distribution procedures
a routine part of order issuance. This
change will ultimately help improve the
management and promotion of
electronic Government services and
processes, and establish a framework to
improve public access to Government
information and services. DoD invites
comments from small business concerns
and other interested parties on the
expected impact of this rule on small
entities.
DoD will also consider comments
from small entities concerning the
existing regulations in subparts 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 (DFARS Case 2009–D037) in
correspondence.
PART 216—TYPES OF CONTRACTS
2. Amend section 216.506 by adding
paragraph (a) to read as follows:
216.506 Solicitation provisions and
contract clauses.
(a) Insert the clause at 252.216–70XX,
Ordering, in lieu of the clause at FAR
52.216–18, in solicitations and contracts
when a definite-quantity contract, a
requirements contract, or an indefinitequantity contract is contemplated.
PART 252—SOLICITATION
PROVISIONS AND CONTRACT
CLAUSES
3. Add section 252.216—70XX to read
as follows:
252.216–70XX
Ordering.
As prescribed in 216.506(a), use the
following clause:
