ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
DoD is issuing a final rule
amending the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS) to incorporate revised
thresholds for application of the World

SUMMARY:
I. Background
This rule adjusts thresholds for
application of the World Trade
Organization (WTO) Government
Procurement Agreement (GPA) and Free
Trade Agreements (FTA) as determined
by the United States Trade
Representative (USTR). The trade
agreements thresholds are adjusted
every two years according to
predetermined formulae set forth in the

IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
II. 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 41 U.S.C. 1707
entitled ‘‘Publication of Proposed
Regulations.’’ Paragraph (a)(1) of the
statute 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 it does not constitute
a significant DFARS revision within the
meaning of FAR 1.501–1 and does not
have a significant cost or administrative
impact on contractors or offerors. This
final rule only adjusts the trade
agreements thresholds according to
predetermined formulae to adjust for
changes in economic conditions, thus
maintaining the status quo, without
significant effect beyond the internal
operating procedures of the
Government.

III. Applicability to Contracts at or
Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold and for Commercial Items,
Including Commercially Available Offthe-Shelf Items
This rule amends the DFARS to revise
thresholds for application of the WTO
GPA and the FTA. The revisions do not
add any new burdens or impact
applicability of clauses and provisions
at or below the simplified acquisition
threshold, or to commercial items.

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 (OMB), 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).
This rule is not subject to E.O. 13771,
because this rule is not a significant
regulatory action under E.O. 12866.
VI. 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 and
does not require publication for public
comment.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C chapter 35) does apply, because
the final rule affects the prescriptions

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 establish a DoD contractor
purchasing system review dollar
threshold that provides a regulatory
basis for allowing DoD personnel to
support other essential priorities and
missions of greater contractual risk,
while reducing regulatory impact on
contractors.
DATES: Effective December 31, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kimberly Ziegler, telephone 571–372–
6095.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
DoD published a proposed rule in the
Federal Register at 84 FR 25228 on May
31, 2019, proposing to amend the
DFARS to implement a recommendation
from the Defense Contract Management
Agency (DCMA) to raise the contractor
purchasing system review (CPSR)
threshold at Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) 44.302(a) from $25
million to $50 million. Currently, FAR
44.302(a) requires the administrative
contracting officer (ACO) to determine
whether a contractor’s sales to the
Government are expected to exceed $25
million during the next 12 months and,
if so, perform a review to determine if
a CPSR is needed. The ACO uses this
dollar threshold in conjunction with the
surveillance criteria cited at FAR
44.302(a), i.e., contractor past
performance, and the volume,
complexity, and dollar value of
subcontracts, to make this
determination. DCMA performs the
preponderance of DoD CPSRs.
Competitively awarded firm-fixed-price
and competitively awarded fixed-price
with economic price adjustment
contracts and sales of commercial items
pursuant to part 12 of the FAR are
excluded from this requirement.
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

FAR 44.302(a) specifically authorizes
the head of the agency responsible for
contract administration to raise or lower
the $25 million CPSR threshold if it is
considered to be in the Government’s
best interest. The dollar threshold of $25
million cited at FAR 44.302(a) has been
unchanged since 1996. In 2016, the
DCMA CPSR Group conducted an
analysis to determine if raising the
CPSR threshold would be beneficial.
Based on the Group’s findings, it was
determined that adjusting the threshold
upward to $50 million would
appropriately account for inflation,
reduce burden on small contractors, and
allow a more efficient and effective use
of CPSR resources to review larger
contractors where more taxpayer dollars
are at risk. Three respondents submitted
public comments in response to the
proposed rule.
II. Discussion and Analysis
DoD reviewed the public comments in
the development of the final rule.
A. Summary of Significant Changes
From the Proposed Rule
There are no changes made to the
final rule as a result of the public
comments.
B. Analysis of Public Comments
1. Support for the Rule
Comment: Two respondents conveyed
overall support for the rule, but one
respondent stated the support for the
rule was contingent on DoD ensuring
procurements valued at $50 million or
below will not require the contractor to
have or maintain an approved
purchasing system per the clause at
DFARS 252.242–7005, Contractor
Business Systems.
Response: FAR clause 52.244–2,
Subcontracts, allows the contracting
officer to assess whether a system
review is needed (e.g., when meeting
the $50 million threshold is
anticipated). DFARS 252.244–7001,
Contractor Purchasing System
Administration, establishes the review
criteria. Contractors whose sales have
not reached the $50 million threshold
may opt to allow their approval to
expire rather than incur the costs to
maintain a system that meets the criteria
for an approved system. If an approved
purchasing system is necessary to
support a particular program, the
contractor can work with the
contracting officer to obtain a
purchasing system review based on risk
or pressing need. Otherwise, the
contractor can request consent to
subcontract in accordance with FAR
52.244–2.

SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal

Procurement Agreement and the Free Trade Agreements, as determined by
the United States Trade Representative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
This rule adjusts thresholds for application of the World Trade
Organization (WTO) Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) and Free
Trade Agreements (FTA) as determined by the United States Trade
Representative (USTR). The trade agreements thresholds are adjusted
every two years according to predetermined formulae set forth in the
agreements. The USTR has specified the following new thresholds (84 FR
70615, December 23, 2019):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. 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 41 U.S.C. 1707 entitled ``Publication
of Proposed Regulations.'' Paragraph (a)(1) of the statute 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 it does not constitute a significant DFARS revision within the
meaning of FAR 1.501-1 and does not have a significant cost or
administrative impact on contractors or offerors. This final rule only
adjusts the trade agreements thresholds according to predetermined
formulae to adjust for changes in economic conditions, thus maintaining
the status quo, without significant effect beyond the internal
operating procedures of the Government.
III. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold and for Commercial Items, Including Commercially Available
Off-the-Shelf Items
This rule amends the DFARS to revise thresholds for application of
the WTO GPA and the FTA. The revisions do not add any new burdens or
impact applicability of clauses and provisions at or below the
simplified acquisition threshold, or to commercial items.
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 (OMB), 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 E.O. 13771, because this rule is not a
significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866.
VI. 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 and does not require
publication for public comment.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C chapter 35) does apply,
because the final rule affects the prescriptions for use of the
certification and information collection requirements in the provision
at DFARS 252.225-7035, Buy American--Free Trade Agreements-Balance of
Payments Program Certificate, and the certification and information
collection requirements in the provision at DFARS 252.225-7018,
Photovoltaic Devices--Certificate. The changes to these DFARS clauses
