SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
DoD published an interim rule at 73 FR 1823 on January 10, 2008, to
implement Section 807 of the National
[[Page 3179]]
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Pub. L. 109-364) with
regard to limitations on the performance of lead system integrator
functions by DoD contractors. On January 28, 2008, Section 802 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Pub. L. 110-
181) placed additional limitations on DoD's use of lead system
integrators. A second interim rule was published on July 15, 2009,
amending the first interim rule. One comment was received after the
comment period closed. The comment concerned the definitions of lead
system integrator with system responsibility and lead system integrator
without system responsibility. The comment was addressed in the interim
rule published on July 15, 2009.
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 application of the rule is limited to contractors performing
lead system integrator functions for major DoD systems.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the proposed
changes do not impose information collection requirements that require
the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C.
3501, et seq.
