[Docket DARS–2022–0001]
Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement: Technical
Amendments
Defense Acquisition
Regulations System, Department of
Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
DoD is making technical
amendments to the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS) to provide needed editorial
changes.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
Effective March 17, 2022.
Ms.
Jennifer D. Johnson, telephone 571–
372–6100.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final
rule makes the following changes:
1. Updates office designations and a
hyperlink at DFARS 204.604 and
232.1004.
2. Updates hyperlinks at: DFARS
204.7302, 208.602–70, 213.301,
225.7003–2, 252.204–7019, 252.204–
7020, 252.211–7003, and 252.211–7007.
3. Removes obsolete text at DFARS
209.104–1, paragraph (g)(i). The final
rule for DFARS Case 2014–D014,
published at 79 FR 73488, revised
section 209.104–1, paragraph (g)(i),
because the coverage was relocated to
DFARS subpart 225.7. Several
subordinate paragraphs to paragraph
(g)(i) that should have been removed at
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

18MRR2
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 53 / Friday, March 18, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
that time were inadvertently retained in
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
This technical amendment corrects that
error and removes the obsolete text at
DFARS 209.104–1, paragraphs (g)(i)(1)
and (2), from the eCFR.
4. Reinstates DFARS subpart 211.70
and section 211.7001, which points to
procedures provided in DFARS
Procedures, Guidance, and Information
(PGI) 211.7001.
5. DFARS 212.207(b)(i), adds a
missing parenthesis.
6. DFARS 216.402–2(2)(ii), corrects a
typographical error in the electronic
Code of Federal Regulations.
7. DFARS 225.7700(e), corrects a
typographical error in a statutory
section reference.
8. DFARS 241.102(b)(7)(C), updates a
statutory reference pursuant to the
National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2006 (section 2851, Pub. L.
109–364).
9. DFARS 246.870–2, removes
obsolete language. The final rule was
published at 81 FR 72738 to amend
DFARS 246.870–2(a)(2) introductory
text by removing ‘‘(b)(3)(ii) through
(b)(3)(iv)’’ and adding ‘‘(b)(3)(ii)’’ in its
place, but DFARS 204.870–2 was
referenced instead of DFARS 246.870–2.
According to a CFR Editorial Note, the
change is not reflected in the Code of
Federal Regulations due to inaccurate
amendatory instruction. This rule
provides the correct amendatory
instruction.
10. DFARS 252.225–7013, updates an
updated mailing address at paragraph
(e)(2)(iv)(A).
11. Updates statutory redesignations
made by the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019
(Pub. L. 115–232):
• Section 808(b)(12) redesignates 10
U.S.C. 7317 as 10 U.S.C. 8687 at DFARS

227.7103–1, 252.227–7013, and
252.227–7015; and
• Section 808(d) redesignates 10
U.S.C. 4540 as 10 U.S.C. 7540 and
section 807(d)(1) redesignates 10 U.S.C.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Defense Acquisition Regulations System
48 CFR Parts 204, 208, 209, 211, 212, 213, 216, 225, 227, 232, 236,
241, 246, and 252
[Docket DARS-2022-0001]
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Technical
Amendments
AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense
(DoD).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial
changes.
DATES: Effective March 17, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Jennifer D. Johnson, telephone
571-372-6100.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule makes the following changes:
1. Updates office designations and a hyperlink at DFARS 204.604 and
232.1004.
2. Updates hyperlinks at: DFARS 204.7302, 208.602-70, 213.301,
225.7003-2, 252.204-7019, 252.204-7020, 252.211-7003, and 252.211-7007.
3. Removes obsolete text at DFARS 209.104-1, paragraph (g)(i). The
final rule for DFARS Case 2014-D014, published at 79 FR 73488, revised
section 209.104-1, paragraph (g)(i), because the coverage was relocated
to DFARS subpart 225.7. Several subordinate paragraphs to paragraph
(g)(i) that should have been removed at
[[Page 15817]]
that time were inadvertently retained in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). This technical amendment corrects that error and
removes the obsolete text at DFARS 209.104-1, paragraphs (g)(i)(1) and
(2), from the eCFR.
4. Reinstates DFARS subpart 211.70 and section 211.7001, which
points to procedures provided in DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and
Information (PGI) 211.7001.
5. DFARS 212.207(b)(i), adds a missing parenthesis.
6. DFARS 216.402-2(2)(ii), corrects a typographical error in the
electronic Code of Federal Regulations.
7. DFARS 225.7700(e), corrects a typographical error in a statutory
section reference.
8. DFARS 241.102(b)(7)(C), updates a statutory reference pursuant
to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (section
2851, Pub. L. 109-364).
9. DFARS 246.870-2, removes obsolete language. The final rule was
published at 81 FR 72738 to amend DFARS 246.870-2(a)(2) introductory
text by removing ``(b)(3)(ii) through (b)(3)(iv)'' and adding
``(b)(3)(ii)'' in its place, but DFARS 204.870-2 was referenced instead
of DFARS 246.870-2. According to a CFR Editorial Note, the change is
not reflected in the Code of Federal Regulations due to inaccurate
amendatory instruction. This rule provides the correct amendatory
instruction.
10. DFARS 252.225-7013, updates an updated mailing address at
paragraph (e)(2)(iv)(A).
11. Updates statutory redesignations made by the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232):
Section 808(b)(12) redesignates 10 U.S.C. 7317 as 10
U.S.C. 8687 at DFARS 212.301, 227.7100, 227.7102-1, 227.7103-1,
252.227-7013, and 252.227-7015; and
Section 808(d) redesignates 10 U.S.C. 4540 as 10 U.S.C.
7540 and section 807(d)(1) redesignates 10 U.S.C. 7212 as 10 U.S.C.
8612 at DFARS 236.606-70.
