SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    In the November 28, 2003 issue of the Federal Register (68 FR 66738 
and 68 FR 66740), the Department of the Army issued two interim final 
rules to add 48 CFR part 5125, section 5125.74-9000 and amend 48 CFR 
part 5152. Subsequent amendments to the DFARS, on May 5, 2005 (70 FR 
23790) and June 16, 2006 (71 FR 34826), added DoD policy addressing 
situations that require contractor personnel to provide in-theater 
support to United States military forces engaged in contingency, 
humanitarian or peacekeeping, or certain other operations outside the 
United States, and incorporated significant terminology from the Army 
Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS), rendering the 
regulations at 48 CFR part 5125 and 48 CFR 5152.225-74-9000 obsolete.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    These rules will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rules 
add no new requirements for contractors. These rules remove AFARS text 
that has become unnecessary as a result of policy that was added to the 
DFARS.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rules do 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.
