DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
48 CFR Parts 42 and 47
[FAC 90-20; FAR Case 92-53; Item XV]
RIN 9000-AF32
Federal Acquisition Regulation; Defense Traffic Management
Regulation
AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense
Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule to amend
the coverage ``Traffic and Transportation Management'' of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to update the title of the Defense Traffic
Management Regulation and to add references to the Military
Departments' and Defense Logistics Agency's regulations concerning
traffic and transportation management. Cross references were also
revised to update the title of the Defense Traffic Management
Regulation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 9, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Linda Klein at (202) 501-3775 in
reference to this FAR case. For general information, contact the FAR
Secretariat, room 4037, GS Building, Washington, DC 20405 (202) 501-
4755. Please cite FAC 90-20, FAR case 92-53.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The title of the Military Traffic Management Regulation was revised
several years ago but has not been updated, where referenced, in the
FAR.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The final rule does not constitute a significant FAR revision
within the meaning of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98-577, and publication
for public comments is not required. Therefore, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act does not apply. However, comments from small entities
concerning the affected subpart will be considered in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 610. Such comments must be submitted separately and cite 5
U.S.C. 601, et seq. (FAC 90-20, FAR case 92-53), in correspondence.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to
the FAR do not impose recordkeeping or information collection
requirements, or collections of information from offerors, contractors,
or members of the public which require the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
