srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES3
I. Background
This rule implements section 867 of
the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2012 (Pub. L. 112–81).
Section 867 amends the DoD Mentor´ ´
Protege Pilot Program, section 831 of
Public Law 101–510 (10 U.S.C. 2302,
note), by changing the—
• Acceptance date for new program
agreements from September 30, 2011, to
September 30, 2015; and
• Eligibility date DoD mentors may
incur costs for the purposes of receiving
cost reimbursement or credit toward
attainment of subcontracting goal, from
September 30, 2014, to September 30,
2018.
This final rule implements these
changes in the corresponding Defense
Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) sections:
219.704(b) and (d); and Appendix I–103
(a) and (b).
DoD has issued a final rule because
this rule does not have a significant
effect beyond the internal operating
procedures of DoD and does not have a
significant cost or administrative impact
on contractors or offerors. This final 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
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply to this rule because this final
rule does not constitute a significant
DFARS revision as defined within the
meaning at FAR 1.501–1, and 41 U.S.C.
1707 does not require publication for
public comment.
IV. Paperwork Reduction Act
The 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).
