[DFARS Case 2001-D003]
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Geographic Use
of the Term ``United States''
AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) to standardize the use of the term ``United States''
and associated geographic terms, in accordance with definitions found
in the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 21, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Amy Williams, Defense Acquisition
Regulations Council, OUSD (AT&L) DPAP (DAR), IMD 3C132, 3062 Defense
Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3062. Telephone (703) 602-0328;
facsimile (703) 602-0350. Please cite DFARS Case 2001-D003.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
This final rule amends the DFARS to standardize the use of
geographic terms, for consistency with the definitions of the following
terms found in section 2.101 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation:
``United States''; ``contiguous United States''; ``customs territory of
the United States''; and ``outlying areas''.
DoD published a proposed rule at 69 FR 65121 on November 10, 2004.
DoD received no comments on the proposed rule. DoD has adopted the
proposed rule as a final rule, with the following exceptions:
[cir] The proposed changes to DFARS 204.670-1 and 253.204-70 are
not included in the final rule. These changes will be addressed in a
separate DFARS case relating to the DD Form 350, Individual Contracting
Action Report.
[cir] The proposed change to DFARS 236.602-1(a)(i)(6)(A)(2) is not
included in the final rule. This text was removed
[[Page 35544]]
from the DFARS in the final rule published at 69 FR 75000 on December
15, 2004.
[cir] The proposed revision to the clause at DFARS 252.225-7039,
Restriction on Acquisition of Totally Enclosed Lifeboat Survival
Systems, is not included in the final rule. This clause was proposed
for deletion in the proposed rule published at 70 FR 14628 on March 23,
2005.
[cir] The final rule includes technical amendments at DFARS 247.571
to update cross-references.
[cir] The final rule includes changes to the clause at DFARS
252.212-7001, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement
Statutes or Executive Orders Applicable to Defense Acquisitions of
Commercial Items, to update referenced clause dates.
[cir] The final rule reflects the revisions to DFARS 252.225-7003
and 252.225-7004, and the addition of DFARS 252.225-7006, included in
the final rule published at 70 FR 20838 on April 22, 2005.
This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DoD certifies that this final rule will not 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 standardizes DFARS terminology, but makes no
substantive change to policy.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rule does
not impose any information collection requirements that require the
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501,
et seq.
