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.

V. Executive Order 13771
This rule is not expected to be subject
to E.O. 13771, because this rule is not
a significant regulatory action under
E.O. 12866.
VI. 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., based on a review of historical
data concerning the purchasing system,
business system program. However, an
initial regulatory flexibility analysis has
been performed and is summarized as
follows:
DoD is proposing to amend the
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) to establish a DoD
contractor purchasing system review
(CPSR) dollar threshold.
The objective of this rule is to create
a new DFARS section at 244.302 to
establish a CPSR dollar threshold of $50
million. The threshold will be used in
conjunction with other surveillance
criteria cited at Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) 44.302(a), to include
contractor past performance and the
volume, complexity, and dollar value of
subcontracts. The proposed rule
establishes a DoD dollar threshold of
$50 million for a formal CPSR; in effect,
raising the current surveillance
threshold of $25 million cited at FAR
44.302(a) for DoD contractors.
In 2014, there were there were 667
unique entities for which administrative
contracting officers (ACO) had recorded
approved CPSR decisions in the
Contract Business Analysis Repository.
A 20% reduction in the number of
CPSRs is expected to result from
increasing the CPSR threshold from $25
million to $50 million for a total
reduction of approximately 133 firms no
longer meeting the criteria for a CPSR
review. Contractor purchasing systems
are eligible for a comprehensive followon review every three years. Based on
this three-year review cycle,
approximately 45 fewer contractors
would be reviewed each year (133
firms/3-year cycle = 44.3, rounded to 45

Jkt 247001
fewer reviews conducted each year). Of
the 45 entities, it is estimated that 35 of
these contractors are large businesses
and 10 are small entities.
The $50 million dollar threshold
should reduce the compliance burden
for approximately 133 contractors, and
permit a more prudent and efficient use
of resources, prioritizing surveillance to
the larger firms.
For the approximately 133 contractors
affected by this rule, there could be
additional requirements for those firms
to request consent to contract from the
ACO, pursuant to FAR clause 52.244–2,
Subcontracts. It is estimated that the
annual number of consent to contract
requests are approximately 12 per
contractor.
The rule does not duplicate, overlap,
or conflict with any other Federal rules.
There are no significant alternatives to
the proposed rule that accomplish the
stated objectives.
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 2017–D038), in
correspondence.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35) applies. The rule
contains information collection
requirements cleared by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB
control number 9000–0149, entitled
‘‘Subcontract Consent and Contractor’s
Purchasing System Review.’’ The
current clearance for OMB control
number 9000–0149 already accounts for
the reduction in burden associated with
raising the DoD threshold for
conducting CPSRs.
