DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

48 CFR Chapter 9


Acquisition Regulation; Regulatory Reduction

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to amend the 
Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) in its continuing 
effort to achieve the goals of several Executive Orders (EO), 
including: EO 12861, Elimination of One-Half of Executive Branch 
Internal Regulations; EO 12931, Federal Procurement Reform; and EO 
12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This proposed rule would delete 
existing regulatory material that has been determined to be 
unnecessary. Specific material to be deleted from the DEAR is 
summarized in the ``Section-by-Section Analysis'' appearing later in 
this document.

DATES: Written comments should be forwarded no later than August 7, 
1995.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Kevin M. Smith, Procurement Policy 
Division (HR-51), Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20585.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin M. Smith, (202) 586-8189.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
II. Section-by-Section Analysis
III. Procedural Requirements
    A. Review Under Executive Order 12866
    B. Review Under Executive Order 12778
    C. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
    D. Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
    E. Review Under Executive Order 12612
    F. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act
    G. Public Hearing Determination

I. Background

    Executive Order (EO) 12861, dated September 11, 1993, Elimination 
of One-Half of Executive Branch Internal Regulations, was issued by the 
President to streamline Government operations, improve productivity, 
and improve customer service. EO 12931, dated October 13, 1994, Federal 
Procurement Reform, calls for significant changes to make the 
Government procurement process more effective and efficient. EO 12866, 
dated October 4, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, requires 
agencies to review regulations to improve effectiveness and to reduce 
regulatory burden. This proposed rule eliminates existing regulatory 
material that is unnecessary. In promulgating this rule, the Department 
will further the objectives of the EOs by reducing the volume of the 
DEAR; streamlining operations; reducing constraints, prescriptive 
requirements, and administrative processes; making requirements outcome 
oriented vs. process oriented; and, defining roles and responsibilities 
at the lowest appropriate level within the procurement organization by 
lowering certain responsibilities from the Head of the Contracting 
Activity to the contracting officer. The DEAR coverage proposed for 
removal includes material that is for informational purposes only and 
nonregulatory in nature; internal guidance and procedures; regulations 
that constrain the Department's own procuring activities; coverage that 
is more restrictive than the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); and 
coverage that is repetitive of the FAR or of other regulations.

II. Section-by-Section Analysis

    The following sections of the DEAR are proposed to be eliminated:
    1. Section 901.103, second sentence, addressing the applicability 
of the DEAR to procurements using nonappropriated funds; this is 
recommended guidance and is nonregulatory in nature.
    2. Subsection 901.103-70, identifying those types of actions 
excluded from the scope of the DEAR; this is for informational purposes 
only and is nonregulatory in nature.
    3. Subsection 901.104-3, third sentence of paragraph (a), and 
paragraph (b), identifying distribution procedures of the DEAR; this is 
for informational purposes only and is nonregulatory in nature.

DOE; this is for informational purposes only and is nonregulatory in 
nature.

III. Procedural Requirements

A. Review Under Executive Order 12866

    This 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, this action was not subject to review, under that 
Executive Order, by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

B. 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)(2), include eliminating drafting errors and needless ambiguity, 
drafting the regulations to minimize litigation, providing clear and 
certain legal standards for affected legal conduct, and promoting 
simplification and burden reduction. Agencies are also instructed to 
make every reasonable [[Page 30261]] effort to ensure that the 
regulation specifies clearly any preemptive effect, effect on existing 
Federal law or regulation, and 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 this proposed rule meets the 
requirements of sections 2(a) and (b) of Executive Order 12778.

C. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This proposed rule was reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act of 1980, Pub. L. 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 
proposed 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 proposed rule 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities and, therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis has 
been prepared.

D. Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

    No new information collection or recordkeeping requirements are 
imposed by this proposed rule. Accordingly, no OMB clearance is 
required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et 
seq.).

E. 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. DOE has determined that 
this proposed rule will not have a substantial direct effect on the 
institutional interests or traditional functions of States.

F. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act

    Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 
CFR 1500-1508), the Department has established guidelines for its 
compliance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.). Pursuant to Appendix A of 
Subpart D of 10 CFR 1021, National Environmental Policy Act 
Implementing Procedures (Categorical Exclusion A6), DOE has determined 
that this proposed rule is categorically excluded from the need to 
prepare an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment.

G. Public Hearing Determination

    DOE has concluded that this proposed rule does not involve any 
significant issues of law or fact. Therefore, consistent with 5 U.S.C. 
553, DOE has not scheduled a public hearing.
