PROVISIONS AND CONTRACT
CLAUSES

Management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
48 CFR Part 215
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and
13563 direct agencies to assess all costs
and benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This is not a significant
regulatory action and, therefore, was not
subject to review under section 6(b) of
E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
III. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
RIN 0750–AH30
A Final Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis has been prepared consistent
with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601, et seq., and is summarized
as follows:
This final rule amends the DFARS to
implement section 812 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2011, (10 U.S.C. 2430 note).
Section 812(b)(5) requires appropriate
consideration of the manufacturing
readiness and manufacturing-readiness
processes of potential contractors and
subcontractors as a part of the source
selection process for major defense
acquisition programs.
No public comments were received in
response to the initial regulatory
flexibility analysis. No comments were
filed by the Chief Counsel for Advocacy
of the Small Business Administration in
response to the interim rule.
The rule will apply to DoD Major
Defense Acquisition Program
contractors and subcontractors. Most
major defense acquisition programs are
awarded to large concerns as these
programs are of a scope too large for any
small business to perform. As such, it is
not expected that this rule will have a
significant impact on a significant
number of small entities.
The final rule imposes no reporting,
recordkeeping, or other information
collection requirements.
There are no known significant
alternatives to the rule that would meet
the requirements of the statute. The
impact on small entities is expected to
be positive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DoD published an interim rule in the Federal Register at 76 FR
38050 on June 29, 2011, to amend Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) 215.304(c) by adding paragraph (iv) to state that
the manufacturing readiness and manufacturing-readiness processes of
potential contractors and subcontractors shall be considered as a part

No public comments were submitted in response to the interim rule.
II. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O.
13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits,
of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility.
This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not
subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning
and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule
under 5 U.S.C. 804.
III. Regulatory Flexibility Act
A Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has been prepared
consistent with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,
and is summarized as follows:
This final rule amends the DFARS to implement section 812 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, (10 U.S.C.
2430 note). Section 812(b)(5) requires appropriate consideration of the
manufacturing readiness and manufacturing-readiness processes of
potential contractors and subcontractors as a part of the source
selection process for major defense acquisition programs.
No public comments were received in response to the initial
regulatory flexibility analysis. No comments were filed by the Chief

contractors and subcontractors. Most major defense acquisition programs
are awarded to large concerns as these programs are of a scope too

that this rule will have a significant impact on a significant number
of small entities.
The final rule imposes no reporting, recordkeeping, or other

There are no known significant alternatives to the rule that would
