Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement: Repeal of
Transportation Related DFARS
Provisions and Clauses (DFARS Case
2019–D020)
Defense Acquisition
Regulations System, Department of
Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
DoD is issuing a final rule
amending the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS) to remove several
transportation-related provisions and
clauses, as well as a clause reference,
that are no longer necessary.
DATES: Effective June 28, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Carrie Moore, telephone 571–372–6093.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The following DFARS provisions and
clauses are included in solicitations and
contracts for services to prepare
personal property for movement or
storage, or perform intra-city of intraarea movement of personal property—
• 252.247–7008, Evaluation of Bids,
which provides offerors with
information on how the Government
will evaluate bids received in response
to a solicitation;
• 252.247–7009, Award, which
provides offerors with the basis upon
which the Government will make a
contract award;
• 252.247–7010, Scope of Contract,
which identifies the scope of the
contractor’s responsibility to provide
supplies and services under the
contract;
• 252.247–7011, Period of Contract,
which identifies the period of
performance for the contract and the
timeframes in which new orders may be
placed or completed when the contract
is close to its expiration date.
• 252.247–7013, Contract Areas of
Performance, which identifies the area
of performance for the contract;
• 252.247–7017, Erroneous
Shipments, which identifies procedures
for the contractor to follow in the event
an incorrect shipment occurs under the
contract;
• 252.247–7018, Subcontracting,
which requires the contractor to obtain

28JNR1
khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 125 / Friday, June 28, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
written approval from the Government
prior to subcontracting work under the
contract; and,
• 252.247–7019, Drayage, which
identifies the scope and applicable
schedule for inbound and outbound
drayage that occurs in connection with
the contract.
In reviewing these provisions and
clauses, along with current practices for
acquiring these transportation services,
DoD subject matter experts in
transportation services advised that the
information contained in these
provisions and clauses is specific to the
requirement and/or within the
contracting officer’s discretion. When
applicable, the information more
appropriately belongs in solicitation
instructions or a performance work
statement to ensure offerors and
contractors receive cohesive set of
instructions and performance
requirements. As such, these provisions
and clauses are no longer necessary and
can be removed.
DFARS provision 252.247–7022,
Representation of Extent of
Transportation By Sea, is included in
solicitations and requires an offeror to
represent whether it anticipates that
supplies will or will not be transported
by sea in performance of the contract.
The provision advises offerors that if a
negative response is received to the
representation, DFARS clause 252.247–
7024 will be included in the subsequent
contract. On February 15, 2019, DoD
published a final rule (84 FR 4370) to
repeal DFARS clause 252.247–7024,
Notification of Transportation By Sea,
and incorporate the text of the clause
into DFARS clause 252.247–7023,
Transportation of Supplies By Sea. As
DFARS 252.247–7024 has been
repealed, the DFARS provision
252.247–7022 is being revised to remove
the reference to the repealed clause.
The removal of this DFARS text
supports a recommendation from the
DoD Regulatory Reform Task Force. On
February 24, 2017, the President signed
Executive Order (E.O.) 13777,
‘‘Enforcing the Regulatory Reform
Agenda,’’ which established a Federal
policy ‘‘to alleviate unnecessary
regulatory burdens’’ on the American
people. In accordance with E.O. 13777,
DoD established a Regulatory Reform
Task Force to review and validate DoD
regulations, including the DFARS. A
public notice of the establishment of the
DFARS Subgroup to the DoD Regulatory
Reform Task Force, for the purpose of
reviewing DFARS provisions and
clauses, was published in the Federal
Register at 82 FR 35741 on August 1,
2017, and requested public input. No
public comments were received on
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:17 Jun 27, 2019
Jkt 247001
these provisions and clauses. The DoD
Task Force reviewed the requirements
of the transportation related DFARS
provisions and clauses and determined
that the DFARS coverage was
unnecessary and recommended
removal.
II. Applicability to Contracts at or
Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold and for Commercial Items,
Including Commercially Available Offthe-Shelf Items
This rule only removes obsolete
transportation related DFARS
provisions and clauses. The rule does
not impose any new requirements on
contracts at or below the simplified
acquisition threshold and for
commercial items, including
commercially available off-the-shelf
items.
III. Publication of This Final Rule for
Public Comment Is Not Required by
Statute
The statute that applies to the
publication of the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) is Office of Federal
Procurement Policy statute (codified at
title 41 of the United States Code).
Specifically, 41 U.S.C. 1707(a)(1)
requires that a procurement policy,
regulation, procedure or form (including
an amendment or modification thereof)
must be published for public comment
if it relates to the expenditure of
appropriated funds, and has either a
significant effect beyond the internal
operating procedures of the agency
issuing the policy, regulation,
procedure, or form, or has a significant
cost or administrative impact on
contractors or offerors. This final rule is
not required to be published for public
comment, because DoD is not issuing a
new regulation; rather, this rule is
merely removing obsolete provisions
and clauses from the DFARS and
making one editorial change to a clause
to remove a reference to an obsolete
clause.
IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review; and
E.O. 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, 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
PO 00000
Frm 00095
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
30951
flexibility. The Office of Management
and Budget, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, has determined that
this is not a significant regulatory action
as defined under section 3(f) of E.O.
12866 and, therefore, was not subject to
review under section 6(b). This rule is
not a major rule as defined at 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
V. Executive Order 13771
This rule is not subject to Executive
Order (E.O.) 13771, because this rule is
not a significant regulatory action under
E.O. 12866.
VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be
given for this rule under 41 U.S.C.
1707(a)(1) (see section III. of this
preamble), the analytical requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility
analysis is required, and none has been
prepared.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The rule does not contain any
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).

DoD is issuing a final rule
amending the Defense Federal

DATES: Effective June 28, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Carrie Moore, telephone 571–372–6093.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
DoD is amending the DFARS to
remove DFARS clause 252.247–7001,
Price Adjustment, and the associated
clause prescription at DFARS 247.270–
4. Included in solicitations and
contracts for stevedoring services when
using sealed bidding, this clause:
Requires a contractor to warrant that the
prices in the contract apply to, based
upon, and exclude certain criteria;
requires a contractor to notify the
Government of any changes to collective
bargaining agreements that apply to its
direct labor employees and will impact
the contractor’s cost to perform; limits
the upward adjustment of prices to a
stated percentage and clarifies the terms
and process for making such
adjustments; and, requires a contractor
to provide a statement pertaining to
rates of pay for labor with its final
invoice under the contract.
DoD subject matter experts on the
acquisition of stevedoring services
across DoD advise that sealed bidding is
not used to procure such services and,
as such, this clause is not included in
stevedoring contracts. Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses
52.222–41, Service Contract Labor
Standards; 52.222–43, Fair Labor
Standards Act and Service Contract
Labor Standards—Price Adjustment
(Multiple Year and Option Contracts);
and 52.222–44, Fair Labor Standards
Act and Service Contract Labor
Standards—Price Adjustment; as well as
DFARS clause 252.247–7002, Revision

of Prices, adequately address price
adjustments resulting from changes in
wage rates or benefits and are currently
included in stevedoring contracts, as
applicable.
Since DFARS clause 252.247–7001 is
not used and other FAR and DFARS
clauses can be used to provide the
necessary information to contractors
performing on stevedoring contracts,
this DFARS clause is no longer
necessary and can be removed. The
removal of this DFARS text supports a
recommendation from the DoD
Regulatory Reform Task Force. On
February 24, 2017, the President signed
Executive Order (E.O.) 13777,
‘‘Enforcing the Regulatory Reform
Agenda,’’ which established a Federal
policy ‘‘to alleviate unnecessary
regulatory burdens’’ on the American
people. In accordance with E.O. 13777,
DoD established a Regulatory Reform
Task Force to review and validate DoD
regulations, including the DFARS. A
public notice of the establishment of the
DFARS Subgroup to the DoD Regulatory
Reform Task Force, for the purpose of
reviewing DFARS provisions and
clauses, was published in the Federal
Register at 82 FR 35741 on August 1,
2017, and requested public input. No
public comments were received on this
clause. The DoD Task Force reviewed
the requirements of DFARS clause
252.247–7001, Pricing Adjustments, and
determined that the DFARS coverage
was unnecessary and recommended
removal.
II. Applicability to Contracts at or
Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold and for Commercial Items,
Including Commercially Available Offthe-Shelf Items
This rule only removes obsolete
DFARS clause 252.247–7001, Pricing
Adjustments. Therefore, the rule does
not impose any new requirements on
contracts at or below the simplified
acquisition threshold and for
commercial items, including
commercially available off-the-shelf
items
III. Publication of This Final Rule for
Public Comment Is Not Required by

The statute that applies to the
publication of the FAR is Office of

(codified at title 41 of the United States

requires that a procurement policy,

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to remove several
transportation-related provisions and clauses, as well as a clause
reference, that are no longer necessary.
DATES: Effective June 28, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Carrie Moore, telephone 571-372-
6093.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The following DFARS provisions and clauses are included in
solicitations and contracts for services to prepare personal property
for movement or storage, or perform intra-city of intra-area movement
of personal property--
252.247-7008, Evaluation of Bids, which provides offerors
with information on how the Government will evaluate bids received in
response to a solicitation;
252.247-7009, Award, which provides offerors with the
basis upon which the Government will make a contract award;
252.247-7010, Scope of Contract, which identifies the
scope of the contractor's responsibility to provide supplies and
services under the contract;
252.247-7011, Period of Contract, which identifies the
period of performance for the contract and the timeframes in which new
orders may be placed or completed when the contract is close to its
expiration date.
252.247-7013, Contract Areas of Performance, which
identifies the area of performance for the contract;
252.247-7017, Erroneous Shipments, which identifies
procedures for the contractor to follow in the event an incorrect
shipment occurs under the contract;
252.247-7018, Subcontracting, which requires the
contractor to obtain
[[Page 30951]]
written approval from the Government prior to subcontracting work under
the contract; and,
252.247-7019, Drayage, which identifies the scope and
applicable schedule for inbound and outbound drayage that occurs in
connection with the contract.
In reviewing these provisions and clauses, along with current
practices for acquiring these transportation services, DoD subject
matter experts in transportation services advised that the information
contained in these provisions and clauses is specific to the
requirement and/or within the contracting officer's discretion. When
applicable, the information more appropriately belongs in solicitation
instructions or a performance work statement to ensure offerors and
contractors receive cohesive set of instructions and performance
requirements. As such, these provisions and clauses are no longer
necessary and can be removed.
DFARS provision 252.247-7022, Representation of Extent of
Transportation By Sea, is included in solicitations and requires an
offeror to represent whether it anticipates that supplies will or will
not be transported by sea in performance of the contract. The provision
advises offerors that if a negative response is received to the
representation, DFARS clause 252.247-7024 will be included in the
subsequent contract. On February 15, 2019, DoD published a final rule
(84 FR 4370) to repeal DFARS clause 252.247-7024, Notification of
Transportation By Sea, and incorporate the text of the clause into
DFARS clause 252.247-7023, Transportation of Supplies By Sea. As DFARS
252.247-7024 has been repealed, the DFARS provision 252.247-7022 is
being revised to remove the reference to the repealed clause.
The removal of this DFARS text supports a recommendation from the
DoD Regulatory Reform Task Force. On February 24, 2017, the President
signed Executive Order (E.O.) 13777, ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform
Agenda,'' which established a Federal policy ``to alleviate unnecessary
regulatory burdens'' on the American people. In accordance with E.O.
13777, DoD established a Regulatory Reform Task Force to review and
validate DoD regulations, including the DFARS. A public notice of the
establishment of the DFARS Subgroup to the DoD Regulatory Reform Task
Force, for the purpose of reviewing DFARS provisions and clauses, was
published in the Federal Register at 82 FR 35741 on August 1, 2017, and
requested public input. No public comments were received on these
provisions and clauses. The DoD Task Force reviewed the requirements of
the transportation related DFARS provisions and clauses and determined
that the DFARS coverage was unnecessary and recommended removal.
II. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold and for Commercial Items, Including Commercially Available
Off-the-Shelf Items
This rule only removes obsolete transportation related DFARS
provisions and clauses. The rule does not impose any new requirements
on contracts at or below the simplified acquisition threshold and for
commercial items, including commercially available off-the-shelf items.
III. Publication of This Final Rule for Public Comment Is Not Required
by Statute
The statute that applies to the publication of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is Office of Federal Procurement Policy
statute (codified at title 41 of the United States Code). Specifically,
41 U.S.C. 1707(a)(1) requires that a procurement policy, regulation,
procedure or form (including an amendment or modification thereof) must
be published for public comment if it relates to the expenditure of
appropriated funds, and has either a significant effect beyond the
internal operating procedures of the agency issuing the policy,
regulation, procedure, or form, or has a significant cost or
administrative impact on contractors or offerors. This final rule is
not required to be published for public comment, because DoD is not
issuing a new regulation; rather, this rule is merely removing obsolete
provisions and clauses from the DFARS and making one editorial change
to a clause to remove a reference to an obsolete clause.
IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review; and
E.O. 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, 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. The Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, has determined that this is not a significant
regulatory action as defined under section 3(f) of E.O. 12866 and,
therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b). This rule is
not a major rule as defined at 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
V. Executive Order 13771
This rule is not subject to Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, because
this rule is not a significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866.
VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 41
U.S.C. 1707(a)(1) (see section III. of this preamble), the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
are not applicable. Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is
required, and none has been prepared.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The rule does not contain any 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).
