Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 209 / Friday, October 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
I. Background
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
IV. Paperwork Reduction Act
DFARS 209.405–1 limits placement of
orders against contracts with contractors
that have been debarred, suspended, or
proposed for debarment. On December
11, 2003, the final rule published under
FAR Case 2002–010 (68 FR 69250)
incorporated these restrictions into the
FAR. The DFARS text, therefore,
became redundant and is deleted by this
final rule.
Defense Acquisitions Regulations
System
This final rule affects the certification
and information collection requirements
in the provisions at DFARS 252.225–
7020 and 252.225–7035, currently
approved under Office of Management
and Budget Control Number 0704–0229.
However, there is no impact on the
estimated burden hours. The dollar
threshold changes are in line with
inflation and maintain the status quo.
II. Executive Order 12866
This is not a significant regulatory
action and, therefore, was not subject to
Office of Management and Budget
review under section 6(b) of Executive
Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804.
III. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply to this rule. This final rule
does not constitute a significant DFARS
revision within the meaning of 41
U.S.C. 418b and FAR 1.501, and
publication for public comment is not
required. However, DoD will consider
comments from small entities
concerning the affected DFARS parts in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested
parties must submit such comments
separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 601,
et seq., in correspondence.
IV. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose any new
information collection requirements that
require the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget under 44
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

DoD published an interim rule in the
Federal Register on June 8, 2010 (75 FR
32637) to amend the clause
prescriptions at DFARS 225.1101 and
225.7503 to reflect increased thresholds
for application of the trade agreements.
The comment period closed on August

RIN 0750–AG52
II. Executive Order 12866
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.,
because this rule does not impose
economic burdens on contractors. The
purpose and effect of this rule is to
adjust the dollar threshold changes to
keep pace with inflation and thus
maintain the status quo.
