DoD is issuing a final rule
amending the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS) to require that scientific and
technical reports be submitted in
electronic format.
DATES: Effective January 29, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Veronica Fallon, telephone 571–372–
6098.
SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DoD published a proposed rule in the
Federal Register at 79 FR 51293 on
August 28, 2014, to require submission
of scientific and technical reports online
in electronic media to the Defense
Technical Information Center.
II. Discussion and Analysis
There were no public comments
submitted in response to the proposed
rule. No changes were made to the
proposed rule.
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
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 rule amends the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS) to require electronic
submission of scientific and technical
reports (vice paper). Electronic
submission of the report is required by
DoD Instruction 3200.12, DoD Scientific
and Technical Information Program.
The rule revises DFARS clause 252.235–
7011, Final Scientific or Technical
Report, by requiring the contractor to
submit an electronic copy of the
approved final scientific or technical
report. This change will lend efficiency
to the submission process by no longer
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
requiring the electronically initiated
report to be printed for submission. It
will also allow the report to be
submitted in the same format as it was
created, thereby streamlining and
modernizing the report submission
process.
No public comments were submitted
in response to the initial regulatory
flexibility analysis.
According to the Federal Procurement
Data System, in fiscal year 2013 DoD
made approximately 469,593 contract
awards to small businesses, of which
approximately 4,143 (less than one
percent), were awarded as research,
development, test and evaluation
contracts. DoD does not expect this rule
to have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because it is not revising any report
submission requirements, it is only
modernizing the submission process.
This rule does not impose any new
reporting requirements. This rule does
not impose any new requirements on
small entities, and since the rule only
changes the mode of submission of the
reports from paper to electronic means,
this change is expected to have only a
negligible impact on small entities.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C chapter 35) does apply; however,
these changes to the DFARS do not
impose additional information
collection requirements to the
paperwork burden previously approved
under OMB Control Number 0704–0188,
entitled ASSIST Database, which
expires on August 31, 2016.

We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, published a final rule
in the Federal Register on January 16,
2015, that revises the regulations for the
nonessential experimental population of
the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi).
In that rule, we made an error in our
description of Phase 2 by stating that
dispersal and occupancy of Mexican
wolves west of Interstate 17 will be
limited to the area west of Highway 89
in Arizona. We intended to state that

dispersal and occupancy of Mexican
wolves west of Interstate 17 will be
limited to the area east of Highway 89.
With this document, we correct our
error.
