DoD published a proposed rule in the
Federal Register at 85 FR 34569 on June
5, 2020, to implement 10 U.S.C. 2330a,
as amended by section 812 of the
National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 (Pub.
L. 114–328), which requires DoD to
establish a data collection system to
provide certain management
information with regard to an awarded
contract or task order that is valued in
excess of $3 million and is for the
following service acquisition portfolio
groups: Logistics management services,
equipment-related services, knowledgebased services, or electronics and
communications services.
DoD published a prior proposed rule
under DFARS Case 2012–D051 in the
Federal Register at 79 FR 32522 on June
5, 2014, to implement 10 U.S.C. 2330a
(section 807 of the NDAA for FY 2008),
which required DoD to establish a data
collection system to provide certain data
on the purchasing of services by DoD
and to submit to Congress an annual
inventory of services contracts awarded
by or on behalf of DoD. The proposed
rule for DFARS Case 2012–D051
required contractors to enter the
required data into a DoD-unique system,
Enterprise Contractor Manpower
Reporting Application (ECMRA). In
response to public comments received
in response to the proposed rule for
DFARS Case 2012–D051, DoD made the
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
36229
following changes in the proposed rule
for DFARS Case 2018–D063:
• DoD has adopted the service
contract reporting process used by other
Federal agencies and no longer requires
contractor reporting in ECMRA. This
change enables DoD to use the Federal
Procurement Data System (FPDS) to
obtain a majority of the information
required by 10 U.S.C. 2330a. FPDS does
not provide data on the direct labor
hours expended and dollar amounts
invoiced for contracted services.
Therefore, both the proposed and final
rules require applicable contractors to
enter the labor hours and dollar
amounts in SAM, which is the process
used by other Federal agencies, in
accordance with Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) subpart 4.17.
• To relieve burden and minimize
impact for contractors and
subcontractors, both the proposed and
final rules require contractors to report
the total number of hours worked (both
contractor and subcontractor) under the
contract for the entire fiscal year and
does not require a breakdown of those
hours by employee type or by
subcontractor. The requirement to
report subcontractor data is limited to
first-tier subcontractors, consistent with
the FAR requirement for service
contract reporting. The proposed and
final rules leave the process for
collecting subcontractor data up to the
discretion of each contractor; the rules
do not prescribe a specific methodology
that contractors must use to gather this
data on applicable subcontracts, or
prescribe a reporting requirement for
subcontractors via the flow-down of the
contract clause.
• The estimated burdens for
respondents and responses published in
the proposed rule for DFARS Case
2021–D051 have been updated to reflect
the revised requirements of 10 U.S.C.
2330a, as amended.
The following is a summary of the
public comments received in response
to the proposed rule for DFARS Case
2012–D051:
A. Exemptions
Comment: Several respondents
recommended that the rule exempt
certain areas including: Research and
development projects; architect and
engineering services;
telecommunications and transmission
and internet; and actions using criteria
similar to the Service Contract Labor
Standards exemptions in FAR 22.1003–
4(d)(1).
Response: The proposed rule for
DFARS Case 2018–D063 implements 10
U.S.C. 2330a, as amended by section
812 of the NDAA for FY 2017, which
