SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DoD is proposing to amend the
DFARS to make the following updates
to the clause at 252.225–7040,
Contractor Personnel Supporting U.S.
Armed Forces Deployed Outside the
United States, to—
• Remove ‘‘humanitarian assistance
operations’’ at paragraphs (b)(1)(ii) and
(q)(2), because humanitarian assistance
operations are a subset of peace
operations already referenced at
(b)(1)(iii) and (q)(3);
• Clarify at paragraph (d)(3) that both
contractors authorized to accompany
the Force (CAAF) and non-CAAF
personnel must be made aware of
information related to sexual assault
offenses by adding ‘‘and non-CAAF’’;
• Add subparagraph (d)(5)(iii) to
clarify that the section on reporting
alleged crimes does not create any rights
or privileges that are not authorized by
law or DoD policy;
• Change the form at subparagraph
(e)(1)(ii)(C)(3) from the ‘‘Public Health
Service Form 791, International
Certificate of Vaccination’’ to the ‘‘U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Form 731,
International Certificate of Vaccination
or Prophylaxis as Approved by the
World Health Organization’’;
• Change the reference at paragraph
(e)(1)(iv) from ‘‘DoD Directive 4500.54,
Official Temporary Duty Abroad, and
DoD 4500.54–G, DoD Foreign Clearance
Guide’’ to ‘‘DoD Directive 4500.54E,
DoD Foreign Clearance Program’’;
• Change the hyperlink for the

• Add the title of DoD Instruction
3020.41, Operational Contractor
Support, at subparagraph (j)(1); and
• Make an editorial correction in
paragraph (j)(2), by removing the
hyphen in the phrase ‘‘will notify’’.
In addition, the rule removes
‘‘humanitarian assistance operations’’
from the clause prescription at
225.7402–5(a)(2), because it is a subset
of peace operations already referenced
at 225.7402–5(a)(3).
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
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 a significant
regulatory action and, therefore, was
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
DoD does not expect this proposed
rule to have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities within the meaning of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601,
et seq., because the rule merely provides
updates to references and links
currently included DFARS clause
252.225–7040, Contractor Personnel
Supporting U.S. Armed Forces
Deployed Outside the United States.
However, an initial regulatory flexibility
analysis has been performed and is
summarized as follows:
The objective of this rule is to
accomplish the following clarifications
and updates to the clause at DFARS
252.225–7040—
• Remove ‘‘humanitarian assistance
operations’’ at paragraphs (b)(1)(ii) and
(q)(2), because humanitarian assistance
operations are a subset of peace
operations already referenced at
(b)(1)(iii) and (q)(3);
• Clarify at paragraph (d)(3) that both
contractors authorized to accompany
the Force (CAAF) and non-CAAF
personnel must be made aware of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:13 Jan 28, 2015
Jkt 235001
information related to sexual assault
offenses by adding ‘‘and non-CAAF’’;
• Add subparagraph (d)(5)(iii) to
clarify that the section on reporting
alleged crimes does not create any rights
or privileges that are not authorized by
law or DoD policy;
• Change the form at subparagraph
(e)(1)(ii)(C)(3) from the ‘‘Public Health
Service Form 791, International
Certificate of Vaccination’’ to the ‘‘U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Form 731,
International Certificate of Vaccination
or Prophylaxis as Approved by the
World Health Organization’’;
• Change the reference at paragraph
(e)(1)(iv) from ‘‘DoD Directive 4500.54,
Official Temporary Duty Abroad, and
DoD 4500.54–G, DoD Foreign Clearance
Guide’’ to ‘‘DoD Directive 4500.54E,
DoD Foreign Clearance Program’’;
• Change the hyperlink for the
Synchronized Predeployment and
Operational Tracker (SPOT) web-based
system at subparagraph (g)(2) from
‘‘https://spot.altess.army.mil/
privacy.aspx’’ to ‘‘https://
spot.dmdc.mil/’’;
• Add the title of DoD Instruction
3020.41, Operational Contractor
Support, at subparagraph (j)(1); and
• Make an editorial correction in
paragraph (j)(2), by removing the
hyphen in the phrase ‘‘will notify’’.
In addition, the rule removes
‘‘humanitarian assistance operations’’
from the clause prescription at
225.7402–5(a)(2), because it is a subset
of peace operations already referenced
at 225.7402–5(a)(3).
According to the Federal Procurement
Data System, DoD awarded 506
contracts in Fiscal Year 2013 requiring
performance overseas in support of
contingency, humanitarian or peace
operations. Of the 506 contracts, only 76
contracts (15%) were awarded to small
businesses. At this time, there is no way
of estimating how many contracts may
be awarded requiring performance
outside the United States in support of
other military operations or exercises,
when designated by the Combatant
Commander; however, the number of
small businesses awarded such
contracts is expected to be minimal.
The rule does not impose any
additional reporting, recordkeeping, and
other compliance requirements. The
rule does not duplicate, overlap, or
conflict with any other Federal rules.
There are no known significant
alternatives to the rule. The impact of
this rule on small business is not
expected to be significant.
DoD invites comments from small
business concerns and other interested
PO 00000
Frm 00044

parties on the expected impact of this
rule on small entities.
DoD will also consider comments
from small entities concerning the
existing regulations in subparts affected
by this rule in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
610. Interested parties must submit such
comments separately and should cite
5 U.S.C. 610 (DFARS Case 2014–D023),
in correspondence.
IV. Paperwork Reduction Act
The rule contains 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);
however, these changes to the DFARS
do not impose additional information
collection requirements to the
paperwork burden previously approved
under OMB Control Number 0704–0460,
entitled Synchronized Predeployment
and Operational Tracker (SPOT)
System.
