The proposed rule would clarify that contracting officers have the authority to request information in connection with a contractor's compliance with applicable limitations on subcontracting clauses; provide exclusions for purposes of compliance with the limitations on subcontracting for certain contracts performed outside of the United States, environmental remediation contracts, and information technology service acquisitions that require substantial cloud computing; require a prime contractor with a commercial subcontracting plan to include indirect costs in its subcontracting goals; establish that failure to provide timely subcontracting reports may constitute a material breach of the contract; clarify the requirements for size and status recertification; and limit the scope of Procurement Center Representative reviews of Department of Defense acquisitions performed outside of the United States and its territories. The proposed rule would also authorize agencies to receive double credit for small business goaling achievements as announced in SBA's scorecard for local area small business set asides in connection with a disaster. Finally, SBA is proposing to remove the kit assembler exception to the non- manufacturer rule.

Summer Nuclear Station, Unit No. 1. For each amendment request, the NRC proposes to determine that they involve no significant hazards consideration.
