principles of Next Generation
Compliance to promote higher rates of
compliance with requirements we may
include in a FIP, general permit, or
other permitting approach for oil and
natural gas production sources located
in Indian country. Our objective is to
promote high rates of compliance
through cost-effective, incentive-based
approaches that capitalize on existing
systems used by the industry, and that
ensure the availability and transparency
of compliance information to the public
and the EPA.
VIII. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive
Order 13563 Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review (76 FR 3821, January
21, 2011), this is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action.’’ Because this action
does not propose or impose any
requirements, the various statutes and
Executive Orders that normally apply to
rulemaking do not apply. Should the
EPA subsequently determine to pursue
a rulemaking, the EPA will address the
statutes and Executive Orders as
applicable to that rulemaking.
Because this document does not
impose or propose any requirements,
and instead seeks comments and
suggestions for the Agency to consider
in possibly developing a subsequent
proposed rule, the various other review
requirements that apply when an agency
imposes requirements do not apply to
this action.
The EPA seeks any comments or
information that would help the Agency
ultimately to assess the potential impact
of a rule on small entities pursuant to
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.); to consider
voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272
note); to consider environmental health
or safety effects on children pursuant to
Executive Order 13045, entitled
‘‘Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); or
to consider human health or
environmental effects on minority or
low-income populations pursuant to
Executive Order 12898, entitled
‘‘Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income
Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
The Agency will consider such
comments during the development of
any subsequent proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DoD is proposing to revise the DFARS
to implement section 807 of the
National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008,
Public Law 110–181 (10 U.S.C. 2330a),
which requires the Secretary of Defense
to submit to Congress an annual
inventory of the activities performed
during the preceding fiscal year
pursuant to contracts for services for or
on behalf of the DoD, to include direct
labor hours and cost data collected from
contractors.
II. Discussion
This rule proposes to require
contractors to report service contract
direct labor and corresponding dollar
value data for prime contractors and
subcontractors in the Enterprise-wide
Contractor Manpower Reporting
Application (ECMRA) database annually
or at the end of contract performance,
whichever comes first. Data collected
via the ECMRA database will enable
DoD to identify and track the services
provided by contractors and comply
with section 807 of the NDAA for FY
2008.
The rule proposes to amend DFARS
parts 212, 237, and 252 as follows:
• At DFARS 212.301, the proposed
DFARS clause 252.237–70XX, Service
Contract Reporting Requirements, is
added to apply to solicitations and
contracts for the acquisition of
commercial items.
• At DFARS 237.17X, a new section
is added that provides the scope and
applicability of the DoD service contract
