consistency in negotiating such terms
and conditions DoD-wide.
The DoD Task Force reviewed the
requirements of DFARS clause 252.227–
7009 and determined that only the
instructions of the clause should be
modified.
III. Applicability to Contracts at or
Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold and for Commercial Items,
Including Commercially Available Offthe-Shelf Items
This proposed rule does not create
any new provisions or clauses. The rule
updates fill-in instructions to
contracting officers within the existing
clause. This rule does not change the
applicability of the affected clause,
which applies to those valued at or
below the SAT, if applicable, but not to
commercial or COTS items.

IV. 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 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 merely
updates the instructions for contracting
officers provided for in an existing
clause.
V. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
VI. Executive Order 13771
This rule is not subject to E.O. 13771,
because this rule is not a significant
regulatory action under E.O. 12866.

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 IV. of this
preamble), the analytical requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
DoD is issuing a final rule
amending the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS) to remove a clause that is no
longer necessary.
DATES: Effective September 13, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Carrie Moore, telephone 571–372–6093.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
DFARS provision 252.237–7002,
Award to Single Offeror, is included in
solicitations for mortuary services that
use sealed bidding procedures. The
Alternate I provision is included in all
solicitations for mortuary services that
use negotiated procedures. The
provision and the alternate advise
offerors that an award will be made to
a single offeror, that they must include
a unit price for each item to be
considered for award, and the
Government will evaluate offers on the
basis of the estimated quantities shown.
The provision then advises offerors that
award will be made to the responsive,
responsible offeror whose total offer is
the lowest price to the Government,
while the alternate advises offerors that
award will be made to the responsive,
responsible offeror whose total offer is
the best value to the Government.
However, the contents of this DFARS
provision are contained in other parts of
the solicitation. Specifically, DoD policy
and DFARS 237.7001 require the
solicitation and award of mortuary
services to be accomplished using a
requirements contract. Federal
Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 16.503
advises that a requirements contract
provides for filling all requirements of
designated activities for supplies or
services during a specified contract
period from one contractor. FAR clause
52.216–21, Requirements, is included in
all solicitations for and awards of
requirements contracts, and advises
E:\FR\FM\13SER2.SGM
13SER2
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 178 / Friday, September 13, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
offerors of the Government’s obligation
described at FAR 16.503. As such, only
single awards can be made in response
to a mortuary services solicitation and
the disclosure of this information in the
DFARS provision is redundant.
When a solicitation is issued, a
contracting officer identifies the type of
contract that will be awarded via FAR
clause 52.216–1, Type of Contract, and
must include a section in the
solicitation document that identifies the
basis upon which award will be made,
along with all relevant evaluation
factors. The remaining information in
the DFARS provision is addressed
elsewhere in the solicitation and is no
longer necessary.

II. Discussion and Analysis
The removal of this DFARS provision
implements 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
Regulatory Reform Task Force reviewed
the requirements of DFARS clause
252.237–7002, determined that the
DFARS coverage was unnecessary, and
recommended its removal from the
DFARS.
III. 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 provision 252.237–7002. The
rule does not impose any new
requirements on contracts at or below
the simplified acquisition threshold or
for commercial items, including
commercially available off-the-shelf
items.
IV. Publication of This Final Rule for
Public Comment Is Not Required by
Statute
The statute that applies to the
publication of the FAR is Office of
Federal Procurement Policy statute
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:37 Sep 12, 2019
Jkt 247001
(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 an obsolete solicitation
provision from the DFARS.
V. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
E.O.s 12866 and E.O. 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.
VI. Executive Order 13771
This rule is not subject to E.O. 13771,
because this rule is not a significant
regulatory action under E.O. 12866.
VII. 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 IV. 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.
VIII. 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES2
I. Background
DFARS clause 252.249–7021,
Returnable Containers Other Than
Cylinders, is included in solicitations
and contracts for supplies involving
contractor-furnished reels, spools, or
other returnable containers (other than
cylinders) when the contractor will
retain title to the containers. The clause
was implemented to standardize the
processes and procedures included in
DoD contracts regarding the use and
return of shipping containers. The
clause identifies the rates and fees the
Government will pay to use the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:37 Sep 12, 2019
Jkt 247001
containers, and the terms and
conditions on the loss or damage of the
containers during use by DoD.
Upon review, DoD found that this
clause is no longer used in
transportation contracts and very rarely
used in other DoD contracts. Instead, the
processes and procedures addressing
the use, return, reimbursement, loss,
and damage of returnable shipping
containers are included in a
performance work statement, when
necessary. As these specifications are
rarely needed and can be negotiated and
incorporated into a contract’s
performance work statement, 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

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Repeal of
DFARS Provision ``Award to Single Offeror'' (DFARS Case 2019-D024)
AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense
(DoD).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to remove a clause that is no
longer necessary.
DATES: Effective September 13, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Carrie Moore, telephone 571-372-
6093.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DFARS provision 252.237-7002, Award to Single Offeror, is included
in solicitations for mortuary services that use sealed bidding
procedures. The Alternate I provision is included in all solicitations
for mortuary services that use negotiated procedures. The provision and
the alternate advise offerors that an award will be made to a single
offeror, that they must include a unit price for each item to be
considered for award, and the Government will evaluate offers on the
basis of the estimated quantities shown. The provision then advises
offerors that award will be made to the responsive, responsible offeror
whose total offer is the lowest price to the Government, while the
alternate advises offerors that award will be made to the responsive,
responsible offeror whose total offer is the best value to the
Government.
However, the contents of this DFARS provision are contained in
other parts of the solicitation. Specifically, DoD policy and DFARS
237.7001 require the solicitation and award of mortuary services to be
accomplished using a requirements contract. Federal Acquisition
Regulations (FAR) 16.503 advises that a requirements contract provides
for filling all requirements of designated activities for supplies or
services during a specified contract period from one contractor. FAR
clause 52.216-21, Requirements, is included in all solicitations for
and awards of requirements contracts, and advises
[[Page 48505]]
offerors of the Government's obligation described at FAR 16.503. As
such, only single awards can be made in response to a mortuary services
solicitation and the disclosure of this information in the DFARS
provision is redundant.
When a solicitation is issued, a contracting officer identifies the
type of contract that will be awarded via FAR clause 52.216-1, Type of
Contract, and must include a section in the solicitation document that
identifies the basis upon which award will be made, along with all
relevant evaluation factors. The remaining information in the DFARS
provision is addressed elsewhere in the solicitation and is no longer
necessary.
II. Discussion and Analysis
The removal of this DFARS provision implements 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 Regulatory Reform Task Force
reviewed the requirements of DFARS clause 252.237-7002, determined that
the DFARS coverage was unnecessary, and recommended its removal from
the DFARS.
III. 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 DFARS provision 252.237-7002. The
rule does not impose any new requirements on contracts at or below the
simplified acquisition threshold or for commercial items, including
commercially available off-the-shelf items.
IV. Publication of This Final Rule for Public Comment Is Not Required
by Statute
The statute that applies to the publication of the 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 an obsolete solicitation provision from the DFARS.
V. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
E.O.s 12866 and E.O. 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.
VI. Executive Order 13771
This rule is not subject to E.O. 13771, because this rule is not a
significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866.
VII. 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 IV. 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.
VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act
