[FRL-7986-2]
Miscellaneous Revisions to EPAAR Clauses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action on administrative changes to
the EPA Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR). This action revises the EPAAR,
but does not impose any new requirements on Agency contractors. The
revisions in this direct final rule will make minor corrections to and
streamline Agency acquisition processes to be consistent with and non-
duplicative of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Some EPAAR
clauses will be revised and others will be removed. FAR clauses are
available to provide coverage for the EPAAR clauses that are removed by
this rule.
DATES: This rule is effective on December 27, 2005 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by November 25, 2005. If we
receive such comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take
effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
This rule revises the Environmental Protection Agency Acquisition
Regulation (EPAAR) to make administrative changes. EPA is publishing
this rule without prior proposal because we view this as a
noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse comment. This rule
does not impose any new requirements on Agency contractors. All changes
are minor and are consistent with the FAR.
II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866
It has been determined that this rule is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under the terms of Executive Order 12866 and is
therefore not subject to OMB review.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
This rule does not impose any new information
[[Page 61568]]
collection or other requirements on Agency contractors.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined
by the Small Business Administration's (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR
121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of
a city, county, town, school district or special district with a
population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is
any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated
and is not dominant in its field.
After considering the economic impacts of today's direct final rule
on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This direct final rule will not impose any requirements on small
entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including tribal governments, it must have developed under
section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling
officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and timely
input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and
advising small governments on compliance with the regulatory
requirements.
Today's rule contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for State, local, or tribal
governments or the private sector. The rule imposes no enforceable duty
on any State, local or tribal governments or the private sector. Thus,
today's rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205
of the UMRA.
E. Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
This direct final rule does not have federalism implications. It
will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132. Thus, Executive
Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
F. Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments)
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications.'' This direct final rule does
not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175. It
will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, or on
the relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes, as
specified in Executive Order 13175. The direct final rule amends
acquisition regulations that are administrative in nature. Thus,
Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.
G. Executive Order 13045
Executive Order 13045: ``Protection of Children from Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies
to any rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant''
as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an
environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may
have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action
meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health
or safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not
an economically significant rule as defined by Executive Order 12866,
and because it does not involve decisions on environmental health or
safety risk.
H. Executive Order 13211 (Energy Effects)
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)) because it is not a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C.
272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA
to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides
[[Page 61569]]
not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. Therefore,
EPA is not considering the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
EPA welcomes comments on this aspect of the proposed rulemaking and,
specifically, invites the public to identify potentially-applicable
voluntary consensus standards and to explain why such standards should
be used in this regulation.
J. Submission to Congress and the General Accounting Office
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2). This rule will be effective 60 days from date of publication.

Limitation of Future Contracting (RAC) (Apr 2004)
* * * * *
(c) The following applies when work is performed under this
contract: Unless prior written approval is obtained from the
cognizant EPA Contracting Officer, the Contractor, during the life
of the work assignment, task order, or tasking document and for a
period of five (5) years after the completion of the work
assignment, task order, or tasking document, agrees not to enter
into a contract with or to represent any party, other than EPA, with
respect to: (1) Any work relating to CERCLA activities which pertain
to a site where the Contractor previously performed work for EPA
under this contract; or (2) any work that may jeopardize CERCLA
enforcement actions which pertain to a site where the Contractor
previously performed work for the EPA under this contract.
(d) The Contractor and any subcontractors, during the life of
this contract, shall be ineligible to enter into an EPA contract or
a subcontract under an EPA contract, which supports EPA's
performance of Superfund Headquarters policy work including support
for the analysis and development of regulations, policies, or
guidance that govern, affect, or relate to the conduct of response
action activities, unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting
Officer. Examples of such contracts include, but are not limited to,
Superfund Management and Analytical support contracts, and Superfund
Technical and Analytical support contracts.
(e) The Contractor agrees in advance that if any bids/proposals
are submitted for any work that would require written approval of
the Contracting Officer prior to entering into a contract subject to
the restrictions of this clause, then the bids/proposals are
submitted at the Contractor's own risk. Therefore, no claim shall be
made against the Government to recover bid/proposal costs as a
direct cost whether the request for authorization to enter into the
contract is denied or approved.
(f) To the extent that the work under this contract requires
access to proprietary or confidential business or financial data of
other companies, and as long as such data remains proprietary or
confidential, the Contractor shall protect such data from
unauthorized use and disclosure.
(g) The Contractor agrees to insert in each subcontract or
consultant agreement placed hereunder, except for subcontracts or
consultant agreements for nondiscretionary technical or engineering
services, including treatability studies, well drilling, fence
erecting, plumbing, utility hookups, security guard services, or
electrical services, provisions which shall conform substantially to
the language of this clause, including this paragraph (g) unless
otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor may
request in writing that the Contracting Officer exempt from this
clause a particular subcontract or consultant agreement for
nondiscretionary technical or engineering services not specifically
listed above, including laboratory analysis. The Contracting Officer
will review and evaluate each request on a case-by-case basis before
approving or disapproving the request.
(h) If the Contractor seeks an expedited decision regarding its
initial future contracting request, the Contractor may submit its
request to both the Contracting Officer and the next administrative
level within the Contracting Officer's organization.
(i) A review process available to the Contractor when an adverse
determination is received shall consist of a request for
reconsideration to the Contracting Officer or a request for review
submitted to the next administrative level within the Contracting
Officer's organization. An adverse determination resulting from a
request for reconsideration by the Contracting Officer will not
preclude the contractor from requesting a review by the next
administrative level. Either a request for review or a request for
reconsideration must be submitted to the appropriate level within 30
calendar days after receipt of the initial adverse determination.
