I. Background
The DEAR has outdated citations and minor errors of a technical
nature. The objective of this final rule is to update the outdated
citations and correct the errors and omissions in the existing DEAR to
conform to the FAR. None of
[[Page 45975]]
these changes are substantive or of a nature to cause any significant
expense for DOE or its contractors.
II. Summary of Comments and Responses
DOE published a proposed rule at 80 FR 15737 on March 25, 2015; DOE
did not receive any comments in response to the proposed rule. DOE made
one change in the final rule in part 916. In the proposed rule, DOE
proposed to change the title of the NNSA Task Order Ombudsman in
Section 916.505, paragraph (b)(6)(i). However, DOE determined that
because NNSA gets this authority from the delegations to the Senior
Procurement Executive and Head of the Contracting Activity, it is not
necessary to include it in the DEAR. Therefore, DOE has removed it from
the final rule.
III. Section-by-Section Analysis
DOE amends the DEAR as follows:
Part 902--Definitions of Words and Terms
1. Section 902.101, paragraph (2), is revised to change the title
of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Senior
Procurement Executive (SPE).
Part 909--Contractor Qualifications
2. Section 909.403, paragraphs (1) and (2), are revised to change
the title of the NNSA SPE.
Part 916--Types of Contracts
3. Section 916.505, paragraph (b)(6)(i), DOE proposed to change the
title of the NNSA Task Order Ombudsman. However, DOE decided to remove
the identification of the NNSA Task Order Ombudsman in the final rule
because the delegations to the Senior Procurement Executive and the
Head of the Contracting Activity allow NNSA to designate a task and
delivery order ombudsman.
Part 917--Special Contracting Methods
4. Section 917.602, paragraph (a), is revised to remove language
that is no longer needed in the DEAR.
Part 922--Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisition
5. Section 922.804 is no longer needed in the DEAR and is removed.
Part 925--Foreign Acquisition
6. Section 925.103, paragraph (a), is revised to correct the CFR
reference.
7. Section 925.1001, paragraph (b), is revised to change the title
of the NNSA SPE.
Part 931--Contract Cost Principles and Procedures
8. Section 931.205-18, paragraph (c)(2), is deleted in its entirety
and replaced with a new paragraph (c).
Part 936--Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts
9. Section 936.202-70 is no longer needed in the DEAR and is
removed.
Part 942--Contract Administration and Audit Services
10. Section 942.705-3 is revised to update the circular number and
remove the paragraph numbering.
Part 952--Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses
11. Section 952.204-2, paragraph (j), is revised to inform
contractors of the format for submitting Foreign Ownership, Control or
Influence (FOCI) information. Paragraph (h)(2)(vi), is revised to
remove Contractor requirement for submitting in writing information to
the head of the cognizant local DOE Security Office concerning each
uncleared applicant or uncleared employee who is selected for a
position requiring an access authorization.
12. Section 952.204-73, paragraph (a), is revised to inform
contractors of the format for submitting FOCI information.
13. Section 952.236-72 is no longer needed in the DEAR and is
removed.
14. Section 952.250-70, paragraph (d)(1), is revised to raise the
threshold as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Part 970--DOE Management and Operating Contracts
15. Section 970.5215-3 is revised to update the Order number.
16. Section 970.5223-1 is revised to correct the prescription.
17. Section 970.5244-1, paragraph (f) is revised to reflect
threshold increase in 48 CFR 28.102-2. Paragraph (g) is revised to
reflect the threshold increase in DOE's class deviation for DEAR
970.5244-1.
18. Section 970.5245-1, Alternate I, paragraph (j)(3), is revised
to update the Order number and to add language that clarifies the
sentence.
IV. Procedural Requirements
A. Review Under Executive Order 12866 and 13563
This regulatory action has been determined not to be a
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866,
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' 58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993).
Accordingly, this final rule is not subject to review under that
Executive Order by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA) of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
DOE has also reviewed this regulation pursuant to Executive Order
13563, issued on January 18, 2011 (76 FR 3281 (Jan. 21, 2011)).
Executive Order 13563 is supplemental to and explicitly reaffirms the
principles, structures, and definitions governing regulatory review
established in Executive Order 12866. To the extent permitted by law,
agencies are required by Executive Order 13563 to: (1) Propose or adopt
a regulation only upon a reasoned determination that its benefits
justify its costs (recognizing that some benefits and costs are
difficult to quantify); (2) tailor regulations to impose the least
burden on society, consistent with obtaining regulatory objectives,
taking into account, among other things, and to the extent practicable,
the costs of cumulative regulations; (3) select, in choosing among
alternative regulatory approaches, those approaches that maximize net
benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health
and safety, and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity);
(4) to the extent feasible, specify performance objectives, rather than
specifying the behavior or manner of compliance that regulated entities
must adopt; and (5) identify and assess available alternatives to
direct regulation, including providing economic incentives to encourage
the desired behavior, such as user fees or marketable permits, or
providing information upon which choices can be made by the public.
DOE emphasizes as well that Executive Order 13563 requires agencies
to use the best available techniques to quantify anticipated present
and future benefits and costs as accurately as possible. In its
guidance, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has
emphasized that such techniques may include identifying changing future
compliance costs that might result from technological innovation or
anticipated behavioral changes. DOE believes that this final rule is
consistent with these principles, including the requirement that, to
the extent permitted by law, agencies adopt a regulation only upon a
reasoned determination that its benefits justify its costs and, in
choosing among alternative regulatory approaches, those approaches
maximize net benefits.
B. Review Under Executive Order 12988
With respect to the review of existing regulations and the
promulgation of new regulations, section 3(a) of Executive Order 12988,
``Civil Justice Reform,'' 61 FR 4729 (February 7, 1996),
[[Page 45976]]
imposes on Executive agencies the general duty to adhere to the
following requirements: (1) Eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity;
(2) write regulations to minimize litigation; and (3) provide a clear
legal standard for affected conduct rather than a general standard and
promote simplification and burden reduction.
With regard to the review required by section 3(a), section 3(b) of
Executive Order 12988 specifically requires that Executive agencies
make every reasonable effort to ensure that the regulation: (1) Clearly
specifies the preemptive effect, if any; (2) clearly specifies any
effect on existing Federal law or regulation; (3) provides a clear
legal standard for affected conduct while promoting simplification and
burden reduction; (4) specifies the retroactive effect, if any; (5)
adequately defines key terms; and (6) addresses other important issues
affecting clarity and general draftsmanship under any guidelines issued
by the United States Attorney General. Section 3(c) of Executive Order
12988 requires Executive agencies to review regulations in light of
applicable standards in section 3(a) and section 3(b) to determine
whether they are met or if it is unreasonable to meet one or more of
them. DOE has completed the required review and determined that, to the
extent permitted by law, this final rule meets the relevant standards
of Executive Order 12988.
C. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires
preparation of an initial regulatory flexibility analysis for any rule
that by law must be proposed for public comment, unless the agency
certifies that the rule, if promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. As required
by Executive Order 13272, ``Proper Consideration of Small Entities in
Agency Rulemaking,'' 67 FR 53461 (August 16, 2002), DOE published
procedures and policies on February 19, 2003, to ensure that the
potential impacts of its rules on small entities are properly
considered during the rulemaking process (68 FR 7990). DOE has made its
procedures and policies available on the Office of General Counsel's
Web site at http://www.energy.gov/gc/office-general-counsel.
This final rule is to amend the DEAR to make technical and
administrative changes as described in the summary. These changes are
technical/minor in nature; therefore, DOE certifies that this rule
would not have a significant economic impact on small entities because
no substantive rights or obligations are altered by the amendment.
Consequently, DOE did not prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis for
this rulemaking.
D. Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not impose a collection of information
requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq. Existing burdens associated with the collection of certain
contractor data under the DEAR have been cleared under OMB control
number 1910-4100, with an expiration date of December 31, 2017.
E. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act
DOE has concluded that promulgation of this final rule falls into a
class of actions which would not individually or cumulatively have
significant impact on the human environment, as determined by DOE's
regulations (10 CFR part 1021, subpart D) implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
Specifically, this final rule is categorically excluded from NEPA
review because the amendments to the DEAR are strictly procedural
(categorical exclusion A6). Therefore, this final rule does not require
an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment pursuant
to NEPA.
F. Review Under Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132, 64 FR 43255 (August 4, 1999), imposes
certain requirements on agencies formulating and implementing policies
or regulations that preempt State law or that have federalism
implications. Agencies are required to examine the constitutional and
statutory authority supporting any action that would limit the
policymaking discretion of the States and carefully assess the
necessity for such actions. The Executive Order requires agencies to
have an accountability process to ensure meaningful and timely input by
state and local officials in the development of regulatory policies
that have federalism implications.
On March 14, 2000, DOE published a statement of policy describing
the intergovernmental consultation process it will follow in the
development of such regulations (65 FR 13735). DOE has examined the
final rule and has determined that it does not preempt State law and
does not have a substantial direct effect 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. No further action is required by Executive Order 13132.
G. Review Under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4) generally
requires a Federal agency to perform a written assessment of costs and
benefits of any rule imposing a Federal mandate with costs to State,
local or tribal governments, or to the private sector, of $100 million
or more. This rulemaking does not impose a Federal mandate on State,
local or tribal governments or on the private sector.
H. Review Under the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act,
1999
Section 654 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations
Act, 1999 (Pub. L. 105-277), requires Federal agencies to issue a
Family Policymaking Assessment for any rulemaking or policy that may
affect family well-being. This rulemaking will have no impact on the
autonomy or integrity of the family as an institution. Accordingly, DOE
has concluded that it is not necessary to prepare a Family Policymaking
Assessment.
I. Review Under Executive Order 13211
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use, 66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001), requires Federal agencies to prepare and submit to
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), a Statement of Energy Effects for any
significant energy action. A ``significant energy action'' is defined
as any action by an agency that promulgates or is expected to lead to
promulgation of a final rule, and that: (1) Is a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866, or any successor order; (2) is
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy; or (3) is designated by the
Administrator of OIRA as a significant energy action. For any
significant energy action, the agency must give a detailed statement of
any adverse effects on energy supply, distribution, or use should the
proposal be implemented, and of reasonable alternatives to the action
and their expected benefits on energy supply, distribution, and use.
This final rule is not a significant energy action.
[[Page 45977]]
Accordingly, DOE has not prepared a Statement of Energy Effects.
J. Review Under the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act,
2001
The Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 2001 (44
U.S.C. 3516, note) provides for agencies to review most disseminations
of information to the public under guidelines established by each
agency pursuant to general guidelines issued by OMB. OMB's guidelines
were published at 67 FR 8452 (February 22, 2002), and DOE's guidelines
were published at 67 FR 62446 (October 7, 2002). DOE has reviewed this
final rule under the OMB and DOE guidelines and has concluded that it
is consistent with applicable policies in those guidelines.
K. Review Under Executive Order 13609
Executive Order 13609 of May 1, 2012, ``Promoting International
Regulatory Cooperation,'' requires that, to the extent permitted by law
and consistent with the principles and requirements of Executive Order
13563 and Executive Order 12866, each Federal agency shall:
(a) If required to submit a Regulatory Plan pursuant to Executive
Order 12866, include in that plan a summary of its international
regulatory cooperation activities that are reasonably anticipated to
lead to significant regulations, with an explanation of how these
activities advance the purposes of Executive Order 13563 and this
order;
(b) Ensure that significant regulations that the agency identifies
as having significant international impacts are designated as such in
the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, on
RegInfo.gov, and on Regulations.gov;
(c) In selecting which regulations to include in its retrospective
review plan, as required by Executive Order 13563, consider:
(i) Reforms to existing significant regulations that address
unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements between the United
States and its major trading partners, consistent with section 1 of
this order, when stakeholders provide adequate information to the
agency establishing that the differences are unnecessary; and
(ii) Such reforms in other circumstances as the agency deems
appropriate; and
(d) For significant regulations that the agency identifies as
having significant international impacts, consider, to the extent
feasible, appropriate, and consistent with law, any regulatory
approaches by a foreign government that the United States has agreed to
consider under a regulatory cooperation council work plan.
DOE has reviewed this final rule under the provisions of Executive
Order 13609 and determined that the rule complies with all requirements
set forth in the order.
L. Approval by the Office of the Secretary of Energy
Issuance of this final rule has been approved by the Office of the
Secretary of Energy.
M. Congressional Notification
As required by 5 U.S.C. 801, DOE will report to Congress on the
promulgation of this rule prior to its effective date. The report will
state that it has been determined that the rule is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
