[Docket ID: DOD-2018-OS-0084]
RIN 0790-AK46


Productivity Enhancing Capital Investment (PECI)

AGENCY: Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness), DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the DoD regulation issued to explain 
to contractors how the Productivity Enhancing Capital Investment (PECI) 
program could be used by DoD components to fund projects that improve 
productivity. This rule implemented an Executive Order which has since 
been revoked. The associated internal programs were discontinued, and 
internal guidance was cancelled. The content of this part is obsolete.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on February 19, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been determined that publication of 
this CFR part removal for public comment is

[[Page 4711]]

impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to public interest because it 
is based on removing obsolete information. This rule implemented 
Executive Order 12637, ``Productivity Improvement Program for the 
Federal Government,'' which was revoked by Executive Order 13048, 
``Improving Administrative Management in the Executive Branch,'' on 
June 10, 1997. The DoD-level program was discontinued in 2010, and the 
corresponding internal DoD guidance was canceled. Any associated 
reporting was sunset thereafter. The content of the rule is obsolete 
and should be removed.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
Regulatory Planning and Review, therefore, the requirements of E.O. 
13771, Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs do not 
apply.
