ACTION: Final rule.

DoD is issuing a final rule
amending the Defense Federal

operating procedures of the agency
issuing the policy, regulation, procedure
or form, or has a significant cost or
administrative impact on contractors or
offerors. This final rule is not required
to be published for public comment,
because it does not constitute a
significant DFARS revision within the
meaning of FAR 1.501–1, does not have
a significant effect beyond the internal
operating procedures of DoD, and will
not have a significant cost or
administrative impact on contractors or
offerors. Poland is added to the list of
22 other countries that have similar
reciprocal defense procurement
agreements with DoD.
III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
I. Background
DoD is amending the DFARS to add
the Republic of Poland as a qualifying
country. On August 27, 2011, the U.S.
Secretary of Defense signed a new
reciprocal defense procurement
agreement with the Polish Minister of
National Defense. This agreement was
placed into force on July 19, 2012. The
agreement removes discriminatory
barriers to procurements of supplies and
services produced by industrial
enterprises of the other country to the
extent mutually beneficial and
consistent with national laws,
regulations, policies, and international
obligations. The agreement does not
cover construction or construction
material. Poland is already a designated
country under the World Trade
Organization Government Procurement
Agreement.
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.

II. Publication of This Final Rule for
Public Comment Is Not Required by
Statute
‘‘Publication of proposed
regulations’’, 41 U.S.C. 1707, is the
statute which applies to the publication
of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
Paragraph (a)(1) of the statute requires
that a procurement policy, regulation,
procedure or form (including an
amendment or modification thereof)
must be published for public comment
if it relates to the expenditure of
appropriated funds, and has either a
significant effect beyond the internal
PO 00000
Frm 00133
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply to this rule because this final
rule does not constitute a significant
DFARS revision within the meaning of
FAR 1.501–1 and 41 U.S.C. 1707 does
not require publication for public
comment.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule affects the certification and
information collection requirements in
the provisions at DFARS 252.225–7000
and 252.225–7035, currently approved
under OMB Control Number 0704–0229,
titled DFARS Part 225, Foreign
Acquisition, and Associated Clauses, in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
The impact, however, is negligible,
because it merely shifts the category
under which items from Poland must be
listed.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
NMFS issues final
specifications for the 2013 summer
flounder, scup, and black sea bass
fisheries, as well as the 2014 summer
flounder and scup fisheries. This final
rule specifies allowed harvest limits for
both commercial and recreational
fisheries. This action prohibits federally
permitted commercial fishing vessels
from landing summer flounder in
Delaware in 2013 due to continued
quota repayment from previous years’
overages.
These actions are necessary to comply
with regulations implementing the
Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea
Bass Fishery Management Plan, as well
as to ensure compliance with the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act.
The intent of this action is to establish
harvest levels and other management
measures to ensure that these species
are not overfished or subject to
overfishing in 2013 and 2014.
DATES: Effective January 1, 2013,
through December 31, 2014.

document, consisting of an
Environmental Assessment (EA), Initial

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Amy G. Williams, telephone 571-
372-6106.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DoD is amending the DFARS to add the Republic of Poland as a
qualifying country. On August 27, 2011, the U.S. Secretary of Defense
signed a new reciprocal defense procurement agreement with the Polish
Minister of National Defense. This agreement was placed into force on
July 19, 2012. The agreement removes discriminatory barriers to
procurements of supplies and services produced by industrial
enterprises of the other country to the extent mutually beneficial and
consistent with national laws, regulations, policies, and international
obligations. The agreement does not cover construction or construction
material. Poland is already a designated country under the World Trade
Organization Government Procurement Agreement.
II. Publication of This Final Rule for Public Comment Is Not Required
by Statute
``Publication of proposed regulations'', 41 U.S.C. 1707, is the
statute which applies to the publication of the Federal Acquisition
Regulation. Paragraph (a)(1) of the statute requires that a procurement
policy, regulation, procedure or form (including an amendment or
modification thereof) must be published for public comment if it
relates to the expenditure of appropriated funds, and has either a
significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of the
agency issuing the policy, regulation, procedure or form, or has a
significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors.
This final rule is not required to be published for public comment,
because it does not constitute a significant DFARS revision within the
meaning of FAR 1.501-1, does not have a significant effect beyond the
internal operating procedures of DoD, and will not have a significant
cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors. Poland is
added to the list of 22 other countries that have similar reciprocal
defense procurement agreements with DoD.
III. 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.
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply to this rule because
this final rule does not constitute a significant DFARS revision within
the meaning of FAR 1.501-1 and 41 U.S.C. 1707 does not require
publication for public comment.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule affects the certification and information collection
requirements in the provisions at DFARS 252.225-7000 and 252.225-7035,
currently approved under OMB Control Number 0704-0229, titled DFARS
Part 225, Foreign Acquisition, and Associated Clauses, in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). The impact,
however, is negligible, because it merely shifts the category under
which items from Poland must be listed.
