Background In June of 2009, the FASB announced, in its Statement Number 168, that effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the FASB ASC would become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The FASB stated that this codification supersedes existing references in U.S. GAAP. Consequently, DoD, GSA, and NASA are updating the superseded references in three FAR sections with the GAAP Codification references. The revisions to the three FAR sections are intended to have no effect other than to simply replace the superseded references with updated references. The references to the prior GAAP in FAR 31.205– 6(o)(2)(iii)(A)(1) will be handled in a separate FAR case. II. Executive Order 12866 This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under Section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993.

Therefore, an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has not been performed. DoD, GSA, and NASA invite comments from small business concerns and other interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In June of 2009, the FASB announced, in its Statement Number 168, 
that effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual 
periods ending after September 15, 2009, the FASB ASC would become the 
source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied 
by nongovernmental entities. The FASB stated that this codification 
supersedes existing references in U.S. GAAP. Consequently, DoD, GSA, 
and NASA are updating the superseded references in three FAR sections 
with the GAAP Codification references. The revisions to the three FAR 
sections are intended to have no effect other than to simply replace 
the superseded references with updated references. The references to 
the prior GAAP in FAR 31.205-6(o)(2)(iii)(A)(1) will be handled in a 
separate FAR case.

II. Executive Order 12866

    This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not 
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.

[[Page 8990]]

III. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    DoD, GSA, and NASA do not expect this proposed rule to 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 the rule merely updates references to authoritative 
accounting standards owing to the FASB's GAAP Accounting Standard 
Codification.
    Therefore, an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has not been 
performed. DoD, GSA, and NASA invite comments from small business 
concerns and other interested parties on the expected impact of this 
rule on small entities.
    DoD, GSA, and NASA will also consider comments from small entities 
concerning the existing regulations in subparts affected by the rule in 
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such 
comments separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 (FAR Case 2010-005), 
in correspondence.

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The proposed rule does not contain any information collection 
requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and 
Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

as depreciation charges or over the leased life as amortization 
charges, as appropriate, except that--
