Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Simplified
Acquisition Procedures
AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Proposed rule with request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Director of Defense Procurement is proposing to amend
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) guidance on
simplified acquisition procedures for consistency with the
reorganization of simplified acquisition procedures in the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and for consistency with FAR amendments
that implemented provisions of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act
of 1994.
DATES: Comments on the proposed rule should be submitted in writing to
the address shown below on or before July 7, 1998, to be considered in
the formulation of the final rule.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties should submit written comments to:
Defense Acquisition Regulations Council, Attn: Ms. Susan L. Schneider,
PDUSD (A&T) DP (DAR), IMD 3D139, 3062 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC
20301-3062. Telefax number (703) 602-0350 Please cite DFARS Case 97-
D306 in all correspondence related to this issue.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Susan Schneider, (703) 602-0131.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
This proposed rule revised DFARS Part 213 to conform to the
revision of FAR Part 13 that was published as Item IV of Federal
Acquisition Circular 97-03 on December 9, 1997 (62 FR 64916). The rule
also amends other parts of the DFARS for consistency with FAR
amendments that implemented provisions of the Federal Acquisition
Streamlining Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-355) pertaining to simplified
acquisition procedures (e.g., replacement of the term ``small
purchase'' with the term ``simplified acquisition'')
f Federal
Acquisition Circular 97-03 on December 9, 1997 (62 FR 64916). The rule
also amends other parts of the DFARS for consistency with FAR
amendments that implemented provisions of the Federal Acquisition
Streamlining Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-355) pertaining to simplified
acquisition procedures (e.g., replacement of the term ``small
purchase'' with the term ``simplified acquisition''). The FAR
amendments were published as Item III of Federal Acquisition Circular
90-29 (60 FR 34741, July 3, 1995) and Item II of Federal Acquisition
Circular 90-40 (61 FR 39189, July 26, 1996).
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The proposed rule is not expected to have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule
primarily consists of conforming DFARS amendments and internal
Government procedures to implement existing FAR guidance pertaining to
purchases at or below the simplified acquisition threshold. An Initial
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has therefore not been performed.
Comments are invited from small businesses and other interested
parties. Comments from small entities concerning the affected DFARS
subparts also will be considered in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such
comments should be submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 97-
D306 in correspondence.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the proposed
rule does not impose any information collection requirements that
require Office of Management and Budget approval under 44 U.S.C. 3501,
et seq.
