Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 210 / Friday, October 30, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
252.225–7017
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
FAR 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
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
apply, because the rule affects the
certification and information collection
requirement in the provisions at DFARS
252.225–7018, Photovoltaic DevicesCertificate and 252.225–7020, Trade
Agreements Certificate, currently
approved under OMB clearance 0704–
0229 (expiring March 31, 2017, DFARS
Part 225, Foreign Acquisition, and
associated clauses). DFARS provisions
252.225–7018 and 252.225–7020 rely on
the definition of ‘‘designated country’’
in DFARS 252.225–7017 and 252.225–
7021, which now includes Montenegro
and New Zealand. The impact of this
rule, however, is negligible.
