[Docket DARS-2016-0023]


Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Technical 
Amendments

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial 
changes.

DATES: Effective August 2, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Jennifer L. Hawes, Defense 
Acquisition Regulations System, OUSD(AT&L)DPAP(DARS), Room 3B941, 3060 
Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3060. Telephone 571-372-6115; 
facsimile 571-372-6094.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule amends the DFARS as 
follows--
    1. Updates the direction to contracting officers at DFARS 245.402-
70 to review the guidance in DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and 
Information (PGI) for oversight and surveillance of contractor-acquired 
property; and
    2. In DFARS clause 252.225-7021, Trade Agreements-Alternate II, 
corrects paragraph (a) definition of ``designated country'' to include 
the country of Croatia. DFARS final rule 2013-D005, Clauses with 
Alternates--Foreign Acquisition, published at 79 FR 65816 on November 
5, 2014, created separate prescriptions for each foreign-related basic 
clause and provision, as well as each of its alternate clauses and 
provisions. In addition, the rule stated the full text of each clause 
or provision alternate. In the restatement of the full text of DFARS 
252.225-7021-Alternate II, the country of Croatia was inadvertently 
omitted.
