SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
DoD published an interim rule at 73 FR 53156 on September 15, 2008,
to implement Section 343 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2008 (Pub. L. 110-181). Section 343 extended, through
September 30, 2012, the period during which contractor performance of
security-guard functions at military installations or facilities is
authorized to fulfill additional requirements resulting from the
terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, provided
the total number of personnel employed to perform such functions does
not exceed specified limits.
DoD received no comments on the interim rule. Therefore, DoD has
adopted the interim rule as a final rule without change.
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.
Although the rule may provide opportunities for small business concerns
to receive contracts for the performance of security-guard functions at
military installations or facilities, the economic impact is not
expected to be substantial.
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.
