    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) today issues a final rule to 
    amend the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) in its 
    continuing effort to achieve the goals of several Executive Orders 
    (EO), including: EO 12861, Elimination of One-Half of Executive Branch 
    Internal Regulations; EO 12931, Federal Procurement Reform; and EO 
    12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This rule deletes existing 
    regulatory material that has been determined to be unnecessary. 
    Specific material deleted from the DEAR is summarized in the ``Section-
    by-Section Analysis'' appearing later in this document.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule will be effective October 12, 1995.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin M. Smith, Office of Policy (HR-
    51), Office of Procurement and Assistance Management, Department of 
    Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, D.C. 20585 (202)

    I. Background
    
        Executive Order (EO) 12861, dated September 11, 1993, Elimination 
    of One-Half of Executive Branch Internal Regulations, was issued by the 
    President to streamline Government operations, improve productivity, 
    and improve customer service. EO 12931, dated October 13, 1994, Federal 
    Procurement Reform, calls for significant changes to make the 
    Government procurement process more effective and efficient. EO 12866, 
    dated September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, requires 
    agencies to review regulations to improve effectiveness and to reduce 
    regulatory burden. This rule eliminates existing regulatory material 
    that is unnecessary. In promulgating this rule, the Department will 
    further the objectives of the EOs by reducing the volume of the DEAR; 
    streamlining operations; reducing constraints, prescriptive 
    requirements, and administrative processes; making requirements outcome 
    oriented vs. process oriented; and, defining roles and responsibilities 
    at the lowest appropriate level within the procurement organization by 
    lowering certain responsibilities from the Head of the Contracting 
    Activity to the contracting officer. The DEAR coverage removed includes 
    material that is for informational purposes only and nonregulatory in 
    nature; internal guidance and procedures; regulations that constrain 
    the Department's own procuring activities; coverage that is more 
    restrictive than the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); and coverage 
    that is repetitive of the FAR or of other regulations. A Notice of 
    Proposed Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on June 8, 
    1995 (60 FR 30258). Interested persons were invited to participate in 
    this rulemaking by submitting data, views or arguments with respect to 
    the DEAR amendments set forth in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The 
    public comment period closed on August 7, 1995, a period of 60 days. 
    During that period, no comments were received by DOE.
    
    II. Section-by-Section Analysis
    
        The following sections of the DEAR are eliminated:
        1. Section 901.103, second sentence, addressing the applicability 
    of the DEAR to procurements using nonappropriated funds; this is 
    recommended guidance and is nonregulatory in nature.
        2. Subsection 901.103-70, identifying those types of actions 
    excluded from the scope of the DEAR; this is for informational purposes 
    only and is nonregulatory in nature.

    III. Procedural Requirements
    
    A. Review Under Executive Order 12866
    
        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 action was not subject to review, under that 
    Executive Order, by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of 
    the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    
    B. Review Under Executive Order 12778
    
        Section 2 of Executive Order 12778 instructs each agency to adhere 
    to certain requirements in promulgating new regulations and reviewing 
    existing regulations. These requirements, set forth in sections 2(a) 
    and (b)(2), include eliminating drafting errors and needless ambiguity, 
    drafting the regulations to minimize litigation, providing clear and 
    certain legal standards for affected legal conduct, and promoting 
    simplification and burden reduction. Agencies are also instructed to 
    make every reasonable effort to ensure that the regulation specifies 
    clearly any preemptive effect, effect on existing Federal law or 
    regulation, and retroactive effect; describes any administrative 
    proceedings to be available prior to judicial review and any provisions 
    for the exhaustion of such administrative proceedings; and defines key 
    terms. DOE certifies that this rule meets the requirements of sections 
    2(a) and (b) of Executive Order 12778.
    
    C. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        This rule was reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 
    1980, Pub. L. 96-354, which requires preparation of a regulatory 
    flexibility analysis for any rule that is likely to have a significant 
    economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule 
    will have no impact on interest rates, tax policies or liabilities, the 
    cost of goods or services, or other direct economic factors. It will 
    also not have any indirect economic consequences such as changed 
    construction rates. DOE certifies that this rule will not have a 
    significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
    and, therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared.
    
    D. Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        No new information collection or recordkeeping requirements are 
    imposed by this rule. Accordingly, no OMB clearance is required under 
    the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).
    
    E. Review Under Executive Order 12612
    
        Executive Order 12612, entitled ``Federalism,'' 52 FR 41685 
    (October 30, 
    
    [[Page 47307]]
    1987), requires that regulations, rules, legislation, and any other 
    policy actions be reviewed for any substantial direct effects on 
    States, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the 
    States, or in the distribution of power and responsibilities among 
    various levels of government. If there are sufficient substantial 
    direct effects, then the Executive Order requires preparation of a 
    federalism assessment to be used in all decisions involved in 
    promulgating and implementing a policy action. DOE has determined that 
    this rule will not have a substantial direct effect on the 
    institutional interests or traditional functions of States.
    
    F. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act
    
        Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 
    CFR 1500-1508), the Department has established guidelines for its 
    compliance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act 
    (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.). Pursuant to Appendix A of 
    Subpart D of 10 CFR 1021, National Environmental Policy Act 
    Implementing Procedures (Categorical Exclusion A6), DOE has determined 
    that this rule is categorically excluded from the need to prepare an 
    environmental impact statement or environmental assessment.
    
    G. Public Hearing Determination
