to update instructions for completion of a form that DoD contracting

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Amy Williams, Defense Acquisition Regulations Council, PDUSD (A&T) 
DP (DAR), IMD 3D139, 3062 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3062.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This final rule amends DFARS 253.213-70 to update instructions for 
completion of DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or Services. The 
amendments address use of the form for purchases under blanket purchase 
agreements, and make other minor editorial changes.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The final rule does not constitute a significant revision within 
the meaning of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98-577 and publication for 
public comment is not required. However, comments from small entities 
concerning the affected DFARS subpart will be considered in accordance 
with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should cite DFARS Case 97-D024.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the final rule 
does not impose any information collection requirements that require 
the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 
3501, et seq.
