[DFARS Case 2000-D010]


Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Special 
Procedures for Negotiation of Construction Contracts

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD)

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Director of Defense Procurement has issued a final rule 
amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 
to remove obsolete text pertaining to special procedures for fee 
negotiation under cost-reimbursement contracts for construction.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 17, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Amy Williams, Defense Acquisition 
Regulations Council, OUSD (AT&L) DP (DAR), IMD 3D139, 3062 Defense 
Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3062. Telephone (703) 602-0288; telefax 
(703) 602-0350. Please cite DFARS Case 2000-D010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This final rule removes DFARS Subpart 236.4, section 236.403, which 
contained special procedures for fee negotiation under cost-
reimbursement contracts for construction. This DFARS text previously 
supplemented Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) text that ids now 
located at FAR 36.215. DoD has determined that this supplemental DFARS 
text is no longer necessary.
    This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review 
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This 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, DoD will consider comments 
from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subpart in accordance 
with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should cite DFARS Case 2000-D010.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the 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.
