supplementary information:

A. Background

Section 804 of the FY 92 Defense Authorization Act, amended 10
U.S.C. 2306a(a)(1) to specify that the $500,000 threshold for DOD,
Coast Guard, and NASA, also applies to subcontracts entered into after
December 5, 1991, under prime contracts entered into on or before
December 5, 1990, if the prime contract is modified to incorporate the
$500,000 threshold. It also specifies that the $500,000 threshold
applies to changes or modifications made after December 5, 1991, when
the prime contract is modified to incorporate the $500,000 threshold.
An interim rule was published in the Federal Register at 57 FR
60570, December 21, 1992. This final rule makes no changes to the
interim rule as a result of analysis of public comments.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration certify that this
final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
601, et seq., because most contracts awarded to small entities are
awarded on a competitive basis and the requirements for certified cost
or pricing data do not apply. No comments were received on the impact
of this rule on small entities during the public comment period.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act (Pub. L. 96-511) applies. This rule
clarifies a rule previously promulgated under FAR Case 91-53, Increase
in Cost or Pricing Data Threshold. A request for approval of a revision
to reduce the burden of a currently approved information collection
requirement concerning Increase in Cost or Pricing Data Threshold was
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and approved
under OMB control number 9000-0013.
