SUMMARY: The Department is amending the Department of Energy
Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) to perform ``housekeeping'' duties such
as updating references, correcting spelling and editorial errors, and
clarifying certain language. This rule falls under the exceptions to
the usual proposed rulemaking and public procedure requirements. These
corrections and changes are all technical and administrative in nature,
and none of them raises substantive issues. For this reason, the
Department is not requesting public comments.
Any comments may be addressed to the individual identified below.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule will be effective April 26, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Langston, Office of
Procurement and Assistance Management (HR-521.1), Department of Energy,
1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585, (202) 586-8247.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Explanation of Selected Revisions
II. Procedural Requirements
A. Regulatory Review
B. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
C. Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
D. Review Under Executive Order 12612
E. National Environmental Policy Act
F. Review Under Executive Order 12778
I. Explanation of Selected Revisions
None of the revisions in this rule are substantive but the reader
may benefit from an explanation of some of the revisions. Readers are
reminded that this regulation implements and supplements the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which is the regulation primarily
applicable to the acquisition activities of all Federal agencies. Some
revisions being made here are for the purpose of ensuring that our
regulation conforms to FAR requirements.
A new 901.170, Organizational references, is added. It explains our
practice of using second level organizational names along with the
phrase ``within the Headquarters procurement organization'' when
referring to various Headquarters procurement offices. It is hoped that
this will minimize the obsolescence of the text as the organization
continues to change.
At 908.802, in paragraph (b), a new final sentence has been added
to explain Government printing regulations. The text is not new to the
regulation; it was previously located in the introductory text of
952.208-70.
At 916.207-3(d), we have added ``(but no lower than the chief of
the contracting office)'' after the word ``designee''. This will bring
this section into conformance with FAR 16.207-3(d) which requires
approval by the chief of the procurement office.
At 919.501, in paragraph (c), we have revised ``$10,000'' to read
``the small purchase limitation'' to recognize that the Federal small
purchase limitation was increased to $25,000 and may be revised upward
again.
At 937.205, we have deleted paragraph (b)(7) based on the
observation that it duplicates FAR 37.206(c) and we have redesignated
the remaining part as 937.207.
At 970.5204-30, we have deleted the clause entitled ``Notice of
labor disputes''. It is duplicative of FAR 52.222-1, which will be used
in its place.
At 970.5204-34, we have inserted the full text of a clause entitled
``Sensitive Foreign Nations Controls''. The clause is not new as the
clause is also located at 952.204. This is being done for the
convenience of the readers.
At 970.5204-41, we have included the full text of a clause entitled
``Preservation of Individual Occupational Radiation Exposure Records.''
This is not a new requirement, as the clause is also contained at
952.223-75. This is being done for the convenience of our readers.
At 970.5204-50, we have included the full text of a clause entitled
``Cost and Schedule Control Systems.'' This is not a new requirement,
as the clause is also contained at 952.212-73. This is being done for
the convenience of our readers.
At 970.5204-52, we have included the full text of a clause entitled
``Foreign Travel.'' This is not a new requirement as the clause is also
contained at 952.247-70. This is being done for the convenience of our
readers.
II. Procedural Requirements
A. Regulatory Review
Today's regulatory action has been determined not to be a
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review,'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
Accordingly, today's action was not subject to review, under the
Executive Order, by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
B. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule was reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, Public Law 96-354, which requires preparation of a regulatory
flexibility analysis for any rule that is likely to have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule
will have no impact on interest rates, tax policies or liabilities, the
cost of goods or services, or other direct economic factors. It will
also not have any indirect economic consequences such as changed
construction rates. DOE certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
and, therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared.
C. Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
No new information collection or recordkeeping requirements are
imposed by this rule. Accordingly, no OMB clearance is required under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).
D. Review Under Executive Order 12612
Executive Order 12612, entitled ``Federalism,'' 52 FR 41685
(October 30, 1987), requires that regulations, rules, legislation, and
any other policy actions be reviewed for any substantial direct effects
on states, on the relationship between the Federal government and the
states, or in the distribution of power and responsibilities among
various levels of government. If there are sufficient substantial
direct effects, then the Executive Order requires preparation of a
federalism assessment to be used in all decisions involved in
promulgating and implementing a policy action. This rule will apply to
states that contract with DOE; however, none of the revisions is
substantive in nature.
E. National Environmental Policy Act
DOE has concluded that this rule would not represent a major
Federal action having significant impact on the human environment under
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321,
et seq.) (1976) or the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR parts 1500-1508) and, therefore, does not require an environmental
impact statement or an environmental assessment pursuant to NEPA.
F. Review Under Executive Order 12778
Section 2 of Executive Order 12778 instructs each agency to adhere
to certain requirements in promulgating new regulations and reviewing
existing regulations. These requirements, set forth in sections 2 (a)
and (b), include eliminating drafting errors and needless ambiguity,
drafting the regulations to minimize litigation, providing clear and
certain legal standards for affected conduct, and promoting
simplification and burden reduction. Agencies are also instructed to
make every reasonable effort to ensure that the regulation specifies
clearly any preemptive effect, any effect on existing Federal law or
regulation, and any retroactive effect; describes any administrative
proceedings to be available prior to judicial review and any provisions
for the exhaustion of such administrative proceedings; and defines key
terms. DOE certifies that today's rule meets the requirements of
sections 2 (a) and (b) of Executive Order 12778.
