    Needs and Uses: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 
(DFARS) clause 252.249-7002, Notification of Anticipated Contract 
Termination or Reduction, is used in all contracts under a major 
defense program. This clause requires contractors, within 60 days after 
receipt of notice from the contracting officer of an anticipated 
termination or substantial reduction of a contract, to provide notice 
of the anticipated termination or substantial reduction to first-tier 
subcontractors with a subcontract valued at $700,000 or more. The 
clause also requires flowdown of the notice requirement to lower-tier 
subcontractors with a subcontract value at $150,000 or more. The 
purpose of this requirement is to help establish benefit eligibility 
under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. Chapter 
32) for employees of DoD contractors and subcontractors adversely 
affected by contract termination or substantial reductions under major 
defense programs.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Tucker Lucas. Requests for copies of the 
information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Lucas at [email protected].
