In order to show compliance with the emission mask up to and including 50 kHz removed from the edge of the authorized bandwidth, adjust the resolution bandwidth to 100 Hz with the measuring instrument in a peak hold mode. A sufficient number of sweeps must be measured to insure that the emission profile is developed. If video filtering is used, its bandwidth must not be less than the instrument resolution bandwidth. For emissions beyond 50 kHz from the edge of the authorized bandwidth, see paragraph (o) of this section. If it can be shown that use of the above instrumentation settings do not accurately represent the true interference potential of the equipment under test, an alternate procedure may be used provided prior Commission approval is obtained. * * * * * ■ 5.

L. 107–347, 44 U.S.C. 101) was enacted in an effort to improve the management and promotion of electronic Government services and processes. The Act established a framework of measures that require using Internetbased information technology to improve citizen access to Government information and services. The General Services Administration (GSA) has embraced the intent of the Act by consolidating the Government-wide acquisition and award support systems into SAM. SAM is a procurement system that streamlines the Federal acquisition business processes by acting as a single authoritative data source for vendor, contract award, and reporting information, thereby eliminating the need to enter multiple sites and perform duplicative data entry. SAM consolidates hosting to improve the efficiency of doing business with the Government. The General Services Administration (GSA) began implementation of Phase 1 of SAM on July 29, 2012. Phase 1 combined the functional capabilities of the CCR, ORCA, and EPLS procurement systems into the SAM database. Upon implementation, the pre-existing E:\FR\FM\16MYR1.SGM 16MYR1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 95 / Thursday, May 16, 2013 / Rules and Regulations procurement systems were retired, and all requirements for entity registration, representations and certifications, and exclusions are now accomplished via SAM. This final rule amends DFARS subparts 204, 209, 217, 252, and Appendix F by updating references and names to conform to the SAM designation. This final rule also makes a number of minor additional conforming changes, such as updates to definitions. A Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) case, 2012–033, is also being processed to effect similar conforming updates. erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES 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 only serves to ensure that the procurement systems that are referenced in the DFARS reflect those that are currently being utilized by the acquisition workforce in the performance of those functions relating to entity registration, representations and certifications, and exclusions. Therefore, this rule has no significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of the Government, nor does the rule create a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors. 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:43 May 15, 2013 Jkt 229001 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 and does not require publication for public comment.

SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to reflect the joining of the 
Central Contractor Registration (CCR), Online Representations and 
Certification Application (ORCA), and Excluded Parties Listing System 
(EPLS) databases into the System for Award Management (SAM) database.

DATES: Effective Date: May 16, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lee Renna, telephone 571-372-6095.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The E-Government Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-347, 44 U.S.C. 101) was 
enacted in an effort to improve the management and promotion of 
electronic Government services and processes. The Act established a 
framework of measures that require using Internet-based information 
technology to improve citizen access to Government information and 
services. The General Services Administration (GSA) has embraced the 
intent of the Act by consolidating the Government-wide acquisition and 
award support systems into SAM. SAM is a procurement system that 
streamlines the Federal acquisition business processes by acting as a 
single authoritative data source for vendor, contract award, and 
reporting information, thereby eliminating the need to enter multiple 
sites and perform duplicative data entry. SAM consolidates hosting to 
improve the efficiency of doing business with the Government.
    The General Services Administration (GSA) began implementation of 
Phase 1 of SAM on July 29, 2012. Phase 1 combined the functional 
capabilities of the CCR, ORCA, and EPLS procurement systems into the 
SAM database. Upon implementation, the pre-existing

[[Page 28757]]

procurement systems were retired, and all requirements for entity 
registration, representations and certifications, and exclusions are 
now accomplished via SAM. This final rule amends DFARS subparts 204, 
209, 217, 252, and Appendix F by updating references and names to 
conform to the SAM designation. This final rule also makes a number of 
minor additional conforming changes, such as updates to definitions. A 
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) case, 2012-033, is also being 
processed to effect similar conforming updates.

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 only serves 
to ensure that the procurement systems that are referenced in the DFARS 
reflect those that are currently being utilized by the acquisition 
workforce in the performance of those functions relating to entity 
registration, representations and certifications, and exclusions. 
Therefore, this rule has no significant effect beyond the internal 
operating procedures of the Government, nor does the rule create a 
significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors.

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 and does not require 
publication for public comment.

V. 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).

file. This type of code is known as an ``NCAGE code.''
    ``Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number'' means the 9-
digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify 
unique business entities.
    ``Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number'' means the 
DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be 
assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-
character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the 
discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM 
records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) 
accounts (see FAR 32.11) for the same parent concern.
    ``Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database'' 
means that--
    (1) The contractor has entered all mandatory information, 
including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, and Contractor and 
Government Entity (CAGE) code into the SAM database;
    (2) The contractor has completed the Core Data, Assertions, 
Representations and Certifications, and Points of Contact sections 
of the registration in the SAM database;
    (3) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to 
include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with 
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Contractor will be required 
to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as part of 
the SAM registration process; and
    (4) The Government has marked the record ``Active.''
