Hour Rates Under Time and Materials Contracts (HSAR Case 2010-001); 
Withdrawal

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is withdrawing its 
proposed rule titled Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) 
Subcontractor Labor Hour Rates Under Time and Materials Contracts (HSAR 
Case 2010-001) and providing this notice of cancellation. The notice of 
proposed rulemaking proposed to amend the Homeland Security Acquisition 
Regulation (HSAR) parts 3016 and 3052 to require DHS contracts for time 
and material or labor hours (T&M/LH) to include separate labor hour 
rates for subcontractors and a description of the method that will be 
used to record and bill for labor hours for both contractors and 
subcontractors. DHS is withdrawing this proposed rule because of 
differing agency priorities and the staleness of the public comments. 
DHS will not take any further action on this proposal.

DATES: The proposed rule published on August 21, 2012 (75 FR 50449) is 
withdrawn effective September 19, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Mail: Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Chief 
Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy and Legislation, ATTN: 
Catherine Benavides, 245 Murray Drive, Bldg. 410 (RDS), Washington, DC 
20528.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Catherine Benavides, Procurement 
Analyst, DHS, Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, Acquisition 
Policy and Legislation at (202) 897-8301 or email [email protected]. When 
using email, include HSAR Case 2010-001 in the ``Subject'' line.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 21, 2012, the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) proposed to amend the Department of Homeland 
Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR), 48 CFR chapters 3016 and 3052 
to propose regulations to require DHS contracts for T&M/LH to include 
separate labor hour rates for subcontractors and a description of the 
method that will be used to record and bill for labor hours for both 
contractors and subcontractors. DHS is withdrawing this proposed rule 
because it is not a mandated requirement to set agency specific 
procedures. DHS is withdrawing this proposed rule and will not take any 
further action on this proposal.

Paul Courtney,
Chief Procurement Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
