DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
48 CFR Parts 1215, 1252 and 1253
[Docket OST-95-776]
RIN 2105-AC-32
Revision of Department of Transportation Acquisition Regulation
Agency: Transportation.
ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department is revising the Transportation Acquisition
Regulation (TAR) to make minor editorial or administrative corrections
including changes to the TAR Matrix to adhere to the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidance for incorporating provisions and
clauses in solicitations and contracts by reference to the maximum
practical extent.
DATES: This rule is effective November 3, 1995. Written and signed
comments must be received on or before December 4, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties should submit written comments,
preferably in triplicate, to Docket Clerk, Docket No. OST-95-776,
Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Room 4107,
Washington, D.C., 20590. Please cite TAR administrative revisions in
all correspondence concerning this rule.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elaine Wheeler, Office of Acquisition
and Grant Management, M-61, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.,
20590: (202) 366-4272.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The Department of Transportation (DOT) 1994 edition of the TAR was
effective on October 1, 1994. Use of this document has indicated that
some editorial corrections and administrative changes are necessary
including a change to the TAR Matrix to reflect the FAR guidance to
incorporate provisions and clauses by reference to the maximum
practical extent.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This interim final rule will not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities because the basic policies
remain unchanged and only editorial corrections or administrative
changes are being made.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to
the TAR do not impose additional
[[Page 55802]]
recordkeeping or information collection requirements, or additional
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.
D. Justification To Issue Interim Final Rule
As stated above, this rule essentially adopts current FAR guidance
and provides editorial and administrative changes. Therefore, a notice
of proposed rulemaking would not result in comments that could have a
significant impact on the content of the rule. Such an effort would be
impractical, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest.
