SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
This Defense Acquisition Circular (DAC) 91-12 includes 43 rules and
miscellaneous editorial amendments. Twelve of the rules (Items I, III,
VII, IX, XIV, XVII, XIX, XXII, XXIV, XXVII, XXXIII, and XXXIX) were
published previously in the Federal Register and thus are not included
as part of this notice of amendments to the Code of Federal
Regulations. These twelve rules are being published in the DAC to
incorporate the previously published amendments into the loose-leaf
edition of the DFARS.
The following information pertains to Item XVIII, Authority to
Waive Foreign Purchase Restrictions:
An interim DFARS rule implementing Section 810 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public 104-201) was
published in the Federal Register on January 17, 1997 (62 FR 2615),
with a request for public comments. Section 810, known as the ``McCain
Amendment,'' added new authority to waive the restrictions on foreign
purchases at 10 U.S.C. 2534(a), applicable to buses, chemical weapons
antidote, components for naval vessels, and ball and roller bearings,
permitting waiver if application of the restrictions would impede the
reciprocal procurement of defense items under a memorandum of
understanding with a foreign country. The interim rule provided this
waiver authority to the head of the contracting activity. Public
comments were received from four respondents, all seeking more positive
and effective implementation of the McCain Amendment.
On April 7, 1997, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and
Technology), waived the foreign source restrictions of 10 U.S.C.
2534(a) for the acquisition of defense items manufactured in qualifying
countries listed in DFARS 225.872-1. This interim rule implements the
waiver only for those items restricted in the DFARS. The restrictions
on most naval vessel components are handled by the Department of the
Navy. Acquisitions of anchor and mooring chain, totally enclosed
lifeboat survival systems, and noncommercial ball and roller bearings
are subject to additional defense appropriations act restrictions. The
acquisition of chemical weapons antidote is subject to U.S. defense
mobilization base requirements.
B. Determination To Issue an Interim Rule
A determination has been under the authority of the Secretary of
Defense that urgent and compelling reasons exist to publish this
interim rule prior to affording the public an opportunity to comment.
This action is necessary to implement the waiver by the Under Secretary
of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) of the restrictions of 10
U.S.C. 2534(A). The waiver is authorized by 10 U.S.C. 2534(d)(3), as
amended by Section 810 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201); the waiver became effective on
April 7, 1997. Comments received in response to the publication of this
interim rule will be considered in formulating the final rule.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DAC 91-12, Items II, IV, V, XII, XIII, XV, XXIII, XXVIII, XXXVI,
XXXVII, XXXVIII, XLI, XLII, and XLIII
These rules do not constitute significant revisions within the
meaning of Federal Acquisition Regulation 1.501 and Public Law 98-577,
and publication for public comment is not required. However, comments
from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subparts will be
considered in accordance with Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 610). Please cite the applicable DFARS case number in
correspondence.
DAC 91-12 Items VI, VIII, X, XI, XVI, XX, XXI, XXVI, XXIX, XXX, XXXI,
XXXII, XXXIV, and XXXV
DoD certifies that these rules 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:
Item VI, Institutions of Higher Education--This rule applies only
to institutions of higher education that are determined to have an
anti-ROTC policy.
Item VII, U.S. European Command Supplement--The rule applies only
to contracts that are awarded or performed in a foreign country. More
than 90 percent of such contracts are awarded to foreign firms. Those
U.S. firms that are awarded such contracts generally are not small
entities.
Item X, Certificate of Competency--The rule merely updates and
clarifies existing policy pertaining to (1) the Small Business
Administration Certificate of Competency Program, and (2) procurement
from small disadvantaged business regular dealers.
Item XI, Comprehensive Subcontracting Plans--Small businesses are
exempt from subcontracting plan requirements, and the rule does not
change the obligation of large business concerns to maximize
subcontracting opportunities for small business concerns.
Item XVI, Petroleum Products from Caribbean Basin Countries--
Petroleum
[[Page 34115]]
and products derived from petroleum already are subject to the Trade
Agreements Act. The consideration of Caribbean Basin country offers of
petroleum and products derived from petroleum is not expected to have a
significant effect on the petroleum market in this country.
Furthermore, the Trade Agreements Act and the Caribbean Basin Economic
Recovery Act apply only to acquisitions exceeding $190,000 in value.
Item XX, Preference for U.S. Firms on MILCON Overseas
Construction--The rule applies only to contracts estimated to exceed
$1,000,000 for military construction projects in the United States
territories and possessions in the Pacific and on Kwajalein Atoll, or
in countries bordering the Arabian Gulf.
Item XXI, Restriction on MILCON Overseas Architect-Engineer
Contracts--The rule applies only to architect-engineer contracts
estimated to exceed $500,000 for projects to be accomplished in Japan,
in any North Atlantic Treaty Organization member country, or in
countries bordering the Arabian Gulf.
Item XXVI, Carbon Fiber--The only known domestic manufacturer of
coal and petroleum pitch carbon fiber is a large business concern.
Item XXIX, Individual Compensation--Most contracts awarded to small
entities use simplified acquisition procedures or are awarded on a
competitive, fixed-price basis, and do not require application of the
FAR or DFARS cost principles. In addition, this rule applies only to
contractors that incur individual compensation costs in excess of
$200,000 per year.
Item XXX, Individual Compensation--Most contracts awarded to small
entities use simplified acquisition procedures or are awarded on a
competitive, fixed-price basis, and do not require application of the
FAR or DFARS cost principles. In addition, this rule applies only to
contractors that incur individual compensation costs in excess of
$250,000 per year.
Item XXXI, Restricting Costs/Bonuses--Most contracts awarded to
small entities use simplified acquisition procedures or are awarded on
a competitive, fixed-price basis, and do not require application of the
FAR or DFARS cost principles. In addition, this rule applies only to
contractors that incur restructuring costs associated with a business
combination.
Item XXXII, Restructuring Costs--Most contracts awarded to small
entities use simplified acquisition procedures or are awarded on a
competitive, fixed-price basis, and do not require application of the
FAR or DFARS cost principles. In addition, this rule applies only to
contractors that incur restructuring costs associated with a business
combination.
Item XXXIV, Information Technology Management Reform Act--The rule
primarily pertains to internal Government considerations regarding the
acquisition of information technology.
Item XXXV, Automatic Data Processing Equipment Leasing Costs--Most
contracts awarded to small entities use simplified acquisition
procedures or are awarded on a competitive, fixed-price basis, and do
not require application of the FAR or DFARS cost principles. In
addition, this rule merely removes references and requirements
pertaining to a cost principle that already has been removed from the
FAR.
DAC 91-12, Item XVIII
This interim rule is not expected to 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 there
are no known small business manufacturers of buses, air circuit
breakers, or the restricted chemical weapons antidote; acquisition of
anchor and mooring chain, totally enclosed lifeboat survival systems,
and noncommercial ball and roller bearings is presently restricted to
domestic sources by defense appropriations acts; and the restrictions
of 10 U.S.C. 2534 do not apply to purchases of commercial items
incorporating ball or roller bearings. An initial regulatory
flexibility analysis has therefore not been prepared. Comments are
invited from small businesses and other interested parties. Comments
from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subparts also will be
considered in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should be
submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 96-D319 in
correspondence.
DAC 91-12, Items XXV and XL
A final regulatory flexibility analysis has been performed for each
of these rules. A copy of the analysis may be obtained from the address
specified herein. Please cite the applicable DFARS case number in
correspondence. The analyses are summarized as follows:
Item XXV, Ball and Roller Bearings--Waiver (DFARS Case 97-D300)--
This rule implements 10 U.S.C. 2534(d)(6) with regard to the
acquisition of ball and roller bearings. 10 U.S.C. 2534(d)(6) provides
that the Secretary of Defense may waive the domestic source
restrictions of 10 U.S.C. 2534(a) for an acquisition that is for an
amount less than the simplified acquisition threshold, when simplified
acquisition procedures are being used. Because of other statutory
provisions that pertain to the acquisition of ball and roller bearings,
the waiver authority in this rule may be used only if (1) ball and
roller bearings or bearing components are the end items being
purchased, and (2) the ball and roller bearings or bearing components
are commercial items, or no fiscal year 1996 or 1997 funds are being
used. No comments were received in response to the initial regulatory
flexibility analysis or the proposed rule published in the Federal
Register at 62 FR 7432 on February 19, 1997. It is estimated that 11
small businesses could be affected by this rule. The rule imposes no
new reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance requirements for offerors
or contractors. There are no practical alternatives that will fully
implement the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 2534(d)(6).
Item XL, notice of termination (DFARS Case 96-D320)--This rule
implements Section 824 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201). Section 824 streamlines the
statutory requirements for providing notification to contractors and
subcontractors regarding contract terminations or reductions that are
expected to occur as a result of reduced funding levels under major
defense programs. No comments were received in response to the initial
regulatory flexibility analysis. However, one comment was received in
response to the interim rule published in the Federal Register at 61 FR
64636 on December 6, 1996. The comment reserved judgment on whether a
60-day notification period affords industry, particularly smaller
firms, sufficient time to adjust to substantial funding reductions to,
or terminations of, major defense program contracts. The industry
association that authored the comment stated that its member companies
will monitor implementation experience, and, if necessary, will
recommend additional actions concerning the new notification
procedures. No changes were made to the rule as a result of the public
comment, because (1) the 60-day notification period is required by
Section 824 of Public Law 104-201; (2) and the comment did not indicate
a need for a change to the rule at this time. The rule applies to all
large and small entities that have, under a major defense program, a
prime contract, a first-tier subcontract of $500,000 or more, or a
lower-tier subcontract of
[[Page 34116]]
$100,000 or more, that is expected to be terminated or substantially
reduced as a result of reduced funding levels in an appropriations act.
The rule imposes no additional reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance
requirements on offerors or contractors. There are no practical
alternatives that will adequately implement the requirements of Section
of 824 of Public Law 104-201.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
DAC 91-12, Items, II, IV, V, VI, X, XI, XII, XIII, XV, XVI, XVIII, XXI,
XXIII, XXV, XXVI, XXVIII, XXIX, XXX, XXXI, XXXII, XXXIV, XXXV, XXXVI,
XXXVII, XXXVIII, XL, XLI, XLII, XLIII
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply, because these rules
impose no information collection requirements that require the approval
of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
DAC 91-12, Items VIII and XX
The Paperwork Reduction Act applies. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection requirements as
follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defense Acquisition Circular (DAC) 91-12 amends the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 1991 edition. The amendments
are summarized as follows:
Item I--Procurement Integrity (DFARS Case 96-D310)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 97-003, effective
January 17, 1997 (62 FR 2611, January 17, 1997). The rule amends DFARS
Subpart 203.1 and 215.608, and removes the clause at 252.203-7000, to
implement Section 4304 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106) and to conform to the FAR
revisions published as Item I of Federal Acquisition Circular 90-45.
Section 4304 amended the procurement integrity provisions at 41 U.S.C.
423 and repealed 10 U.S.C. 2397-2397c, which addressed post-Federal
employment of certain DoD employees.
Item II--Reporting Real Property Leases (DFARS Case 97-D001)
This final rule amends DFARS 204.670-2(a) to clarify that the
requirement to complete a DD Form 350 for contracting actions that
obligate or deobligate more than $25,000 also applies to DoD actions
that are for the purchase of land or rental or lease of real property.
Item III--Contract Reporting for Fiscal Year 1997 (DFARS Case 97-D315)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 96-017, effective
October 1, 1996 (61 FR 51030, September 30, 1996). The rule amends
DFARS Parts 204 and 253 to revise DD Form 350 and DD Form 1057 contract
action reporting requirements, for compliance with provisions of the
Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-355).
Item IV--Commercial Transactions with the Government of a Terrorist
Country (DFARS Case 96-D026)
This final rule removes DFARS 209.104-1(g)(iii), 209.104-70(c) and
(d), 252.209-7003, and 252.209-7004, which pertained to contractor
disclosure of information commercial transactions with the Government
of a terrorist country. The statutory authority for this disclosure
requirement (Section 843 of Public Law 103-160) expired on September
30, 1996.
Item V--Foreign Environmental Technology (DFARS Case 96-D322)
This final rule amends DFARS 209.104-1 to implement Section 828 of
the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 1997. Section 828
provides that the Secretary of Defense may, in the case of a contract
for environmental restoration, remediation, or waste management at a
DoD facility, waive the prohibition on award of a contract to an entity
controlled by a foreign government under certain circumstances.
Item VI--Institutions of Higher Education (DFARS Case 96-D305)
The interim rule published as Item VI of DAC 91-11 is converted to
a final rule without change. The rule amended DFARS 209.470 and 243.105
to implement Section 541 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106). Section 541 provides that no
funds available to DoD may be provided by grant or contract to any
institution of higher education that has an anti-ROTC policy.
Item VII--Elimination of Certifications (DFARS Case 96-D306)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 97-004, effective
January 17, 1997 (62 FR 2612, January 17, 1997). The rule amends DFARS
Parts 215, 219, 225, 226, 227, 233, and 252 to remove certification
requirements for contractors and offerors that are not required by
statute or otherwise approved for retention by the Secretary of
Defense. The rule implements Section 4301(b) of the Clinger-Cohen Act
of 1996 (Public Law 104-106).
Item VIII--U.S. European Command Supplement (DFARS Case 94-D001)
This final rule amends DFARS Parts 216, 222, 225, 227, 228, 229,
232, 233, 236, 246, and 252 to incorporate guidance previously
contained in the U.S. European Command Supplement for application to
contracts to be performed in a foreign country. Contracts to be
performed in a foreign country must include requirements imposed by the
host country's government in addition to U.S. Government requirements,
and must provide for customs and tax exemptions to which the U.S.
Government is entitled.
Item IX--MILCON--Environmental Restoration (DFARS Case 96-D327)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 97-001, effective
January 8, 1997 (62 FR 1058, January 8, 1997). The rule revises DFARS
216.306 to implement Section 101 of the Military Construction
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-196). Section
101 continues to restrict the use of cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts for
military construction, but provides an exception for contracts for
environmental restoration at installations that are being closed or
realigned where payments are made from a base realignment and closure
account.
Item X--Certificate of Competency (DFARS Case 96-D003)
This final rule amends DFARS 219.602-3 and 252.219-7006 to (1)
update the reference to the Small Business Administration offices
involved in resolving differences between an agency and the Small
Business Administration; (2) remove references to Section 8051 of
Public Law 103-139 and Section 8012 of Public Law 103-335, which
applied only to contracts awarded during fiscal years 1994 and 1995;
and (3) clarify existing text.
Item XI--Comprehensive Subcontracting Plans (DFARS Case 96-D304)
The interim rule pulished as Item VIII of DAC 91-11 is converted to
a final rule with an amendment at DFARS
[[Page 34117]]
252.219-7004. The rule reflects changes to the Test Program for
Negotiation of Comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plans, as
required by Section 811 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106). The final rule differs form the
interim rule in that it amends the clause at 252.219-7004 to clarify
instructions for contractor submission of Standard Form 295, Summary
Subcontract Report.
Item XII--Bond Waivers (DFARS Case 96-D019)
This final rule removes DFARS 219.808, 219.811, and 252.219-7007,
which pertained to waiver of Miller Act requirements for performance
and payment bonds under 8(a) construction contracts. The statutory
authority for waiver of these requirements (Section 813 of Public Law
102-190) applied only to contracts awarded during fiscal years 1992
through 1994.
Item XIII--Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program (DFARS
Case 96-D025)
This final rule amends DFARS 219.1005 to remove dredging from the
list of designated industry groups under the Small Business
Competitiveness Demonstration Program. Dredging had been added to the
list as part of a test program established under Section 722 of the
Small Businesss Credit and Business Opportunity Enhancement Act of 1992
(Public Law 102-366). The statutory authority for the test program
expired on September 30, 1996.
Item XIV--Pilot Mentor-Protege Program (DFARS Case 96-D317)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 96-018, effective
October 18, 1996 (61 FR 54346, October 18, 1996). The rule amends DFARS
219.7104 and Appendix I to implement Section 802 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201).
Section 802: (1) Extends to September 30, 1998, the date by which an
interested company must apply for participation as a mentor firm under
the DoD Pilot Mentor-Protege Program; and (2) extends to September 30,
1999, the date by which a mentor firm must incur costs in order to be
eligible for reimbursement under the Program.
Item XV--Nondomestic Construction Materials (DFARS Case 97-D009)
This final rule removes the clause at DFARS 252.225-7004,
Nondomestic Construction Materials, and the corresponding prescriptive
language at 225.205. The DFARS clause has been superseded by the
clauses at FAR 52.225-5, Buy American Act--Construction Materials, and
52.225-15, Buy American Act--Construciton Materials under Trade
Agreements Act and North American Free Trade Agreement, as amended by
Federal Acquisition Circular 90-46.
Item XVI--Petroleum Products from Caribbean Basin Countries (DFARS Case
96-D312)
The interim rule published as Item XI of DAC 91-11 is converted to
a final rule without change. The rule amended DFARS 225.403 to fully
implement Section 8094 of the National Defense Appropriations Act for
Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-139). Section 8094 requires DoD to
consider all qualified bids from eligible countries under the Caribbean
Basin Economic Recovery Act as if they were offers from designated
countries under the Trade Agreements Act. The rule also amended DFARS
225.403-70 and 252.225-7007 to clarify that the definition of Caribbean
Basin country end products includes petroleum and any end product
derived from petroleum.
Item XVII--Metalworking Machinery--Trade Agreements (DFARS Case 96-
D030)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 97--005,
effective January 17, 1997 (62 FR 2615, January 17, 1997). The rule
amends DFARS 225.403-70 to remove the exception to application of the
trade agreements acts for those machine tools for which acquisition was
previously, but is no longer, restricted by 10 U.S.C. 2534. As a
result, all metal working machinery products in Federal Supply Group 34
are subject to the trade agreements acts.
Item XVIII--Authority To Waive Foreign Purchase Restrictions (DFARS
Case 96-D319)
This interim rule supersedes the interim rule issued by
Departmental Letter 97-006 on January 17, 1997. The rule amends DFARS
225.872, 225.70, and clauses at 252.225-7016 and 252.225-7029 to
implement the waiver by the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and
Technology) of the foreign source restrictions of 10 U.S.C. 2534(a),
for the acquisition of defense items manufactured in a qualifying
county. This waiver is authorized by 10 U.S.C. 2534(d)(3), as amended
by section 810 (the McCain Amendment) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201).
Item XIX--Foreign Machine Tools and Powered and Non-Powered Valves
(DFARS Case 96-D023)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 96-019, effective
November 15, 1996 (61 FR 58488, November 15, 1996). The rule amends
DFARS Subpart 225.70, and removes the clause and provision at 252.225-
7017 and 252.225-7040, to reflect the expiration of the restriction on
the acquisition of machine tools and powered and non-powered valves at
10 U.S.C. 2534. Related amendments are made at 212.504(a) and 252.212-
7001(b).
Item XX--Preference for U.S. Firms on MILCON Overseas Construction
(DFARS Case 96-D328)
The interim rule issued by Departmental Letter 97-008, on January
17, 1997, is converted to a final rule without change. The rule amends
DFARS 225.7000, 225.7003, 236.274, and 236.570, and adds a new
provision at 252.236-7010, to implement Section 112 of the Military
Construction Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-
196). Section 112 provides a 20 percent evaluation preference for U.S.
firms on contracts estimated to exceed $1,000,000 for military
construction projects in the U.S. territories and possessions in the
Pacific and on Kwajalein atoll, or in countries bordering the Arabian
Gulf.
Item XXI--Restriction on MILCON Overseas Architect-Engineer Contracts
(DFARS Case 96-D329)
The interim rule issued by Departmental Letter 97-008, on January
17, 1997, is converted to a final rule without change. The rule adds
new sections at DFARS 225.7004 and 236.602-70, amends 236.102 and
236.609-70, and adds a new provision at 252.236-7011, to implement
Section 111 of the Military Construction Appropriations Act for Fiscal
Year 1997 (Public Law 104-196). Section 111 restricts award of
architect-engineer contracts estimated to exceed $500,000 for projects
to be accomplished in Japan, in any North Atlantic Treaty Organization
member country, or in countries bordering the Arabian Gulf, to U.S.
firms or U.S. firms in joint venture with hose nation firms.
Item XXII--Application of Berry Amendment (DFARS Case 96-D333)
This interim rule was issued by departmental Letter 97-009,
effective February 7, 1997 (62 FR 5779, February 7, 1997). The rule
amends DFARS 225.7002, 252.212-7001, 252.225-7012, and 252.225-7014;
adds a new section
[[Page 34118]]
at 244.403 and a new clause at 252.244-7000; and removes language at
212.504(a)(i). The rule implements Section 8109 of the National Defense
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-208). Section
8109 provides that, in applying the Berry Amendment (10 U.S.C. 2241
note), the term ``synthetic fabric and coated synthetic fabric'' shall
be deemed to include all textile fibers and yarns that are for use in
such fabrics; and that the domestic source restrictions of the Berry
Amendment shall apply to contracts and subcontracts for the procurement
of commercial items.
Item XXIII--Aircraft Ejection Seats (DFARS Case 96-D022)
This final rule amends DFARS 225.7009 to remove the restriction on
acquisition of aircraft ejection seats manufactured in a foreign
nation, as the restriction applied only to contracts awarded using
funds appropriated for fiscal years 1984 through 1989.
Item XXIV--Ball and Roller Bearings (DFARS Case 96-D331)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 96-019, effective
November 15, 1996 (61 FR 58489, November 15, 1996). The rule amends
DFARS 225.7019-1 to reflect the extension, beyond fiscal year 1996, of
the requirement to acquire ball and roller bearings from domestic
sources when using appropriated funds.
Item XXV--Ball and Roller Bearings--Waiver (DFARS Case 97-D300)
This final rule amends DFARS 225.7019-3 to implement the waiver
authority of 10 U.S.C. 2534(d)(6) with regard to the acquisition of
ball and roller bearings. 10 U.S.C. 2534(d)(6) provides that the
Secretary of Defense may waive the foreign source restrictions of 10
U.S.C. 2534(a) for a procurement that is for an amount less than the
simplified acquisition threshold, when simplified acquisition
procedures are being used.
Item XXVI--Carbon Fiber (DFARS Case 96-D010)
This final rule amends DFARS Subpart 225.70 and 225.71 to remove
the restriction on foreign acquisition of coal and petroleum pitch
carbon fiber and to move, from Subpart 225.70 to Subpart 225.71, the
restriction on foreign acquisition of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) carbon
fiber. The restrictions on foreign acquisition of these items are no
longer required by statute. However, the restriction on PAN carbon
fiber has been retained in the DFARS as a matter of policy. Related
amendments are made at 208.7203(c), 252.225-7022, and 252.225-7025; and
the clause at 252.225-7034 is removed.
Item XXVII--Contingent Fees--Foreign Military Sales (DFARS Case 96-
D021)
This interim rule was issued by departmental Letter 97-007,
effective January 17, 1997 (62 FR 2616, January 17, 1997). The rule
amends DFARS Subpart 225.73 and the clauses at 252.212.7001 and
252.225-7027 to conform to the FAR revisions published as Item I of
Federal Acquisition Circular 90-40. The FAR revisions removed
requirements for prospective contractors to provide certain information
to the Government regarding contingent fee arrangements. This interim
rule makes the associated DFARS changes related to contingent fees
under contracts for foreign military sales.
Item XXVIII--Offset Arrangements (DFARS Case 96-D018)
This final rule revises DFARS 225.7307 to update policy pertaining
to DoD involvement in foreign military sale offset arrangements. In
accordance with the Presidential policy statement of April 16, 1990,
DoD does not encourage, enter into, or commit U.S. firms to foreign
military sale offset arrangements. The decision whether to engage in
offset arrangements, and the responsibility for negotiating and
implementing such arrangements, resides with the companies involved.
Item XXIX--Individual Compensation (DFARS Case 96-D314)
The interim rule published as Item XX of DAC 91-11 is converted to
a final rule without change. The rule amended DFARS Part 231 to
implement Section 8086 of the National Defense Appropriations Act for
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-61). Section 8086 limits allowable
costs for individual compensation to $200,000 per year under DoD
contracts awarded after July 1, 1996, that are funded by fiscal year
1996 appropriations.
Item XXX--Individual Compensation (DFARS Case 96-D330)
The interim rule issued by Departmental Letter 96-023 on December
13, 1996, is converted to a final rule without change. The rule amends
DFARS 231.205-6(a) to implement Section 8071 of the National Defense
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-208). Section
8071 limits allowable costs for individual compensation to $250,000 per
year under DoD contracts funded by fiscal year 1997 appropriations.
Item XXXI--Restructuring Costs/Bonuses (DFARS Case 96-D332)
The interim rule issued by Departmental Letter 96-020 on November
15, 1996, is converted to a final rule without change. The rule amends
DFARS 231.205-6(f) to implement Section 8095 of the National Defense
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-208). Section
8095 prohibits the use of fiscal year 1997 funds to reimburse a
contractor for costs paid to an employee for a bonus or other payment
in excess of the normal salary paid by the contractor to the employee,
when such payment is part of restricting costs associated with a
business combination.
Item XXXII--Restructuring Costs (DFARS Case 96-D334)
The interim rule issued by Departmental Letter 96-022, on December
6, 1996, is converted to a final rule without change. The rule amends
DFARS 231.205-70 to implement Section 8115 of the National Defense
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-208). Section
8115 prohibits the use of fiscal year 1997 funds to reimburse a
contractor for external restructuring costs associated with a business
combination unless certain conditions are met.
Item XXXIII--Earned Value Management Systems (DFARS Case 96-D024)
This interim rule was issued by Departmental Letter 97-011,
effective March 5, 1997 (62 FR 9990, March 5, 1997). The rule amends
DFARS Parts 234, 242, and 252 to recognize industry-standard guidelines
for earned value management systems (EVMS) as an alternative to DoD-
unique cost/schedule control systems under DoD contracts. Since DoD's
cost/schedule control systems criteria are considered to be equivalent
to EVMS, contractors' previously approved cost/schedule control systems
are acceptable under the EVMS criteria. However, it is no longer
necessary for DoD contractors to create or maintain DoD-unique cost/
schedule control systems at facilities where acceptable EVMS exist.
Item XXXIV--Information Technology Management Reform Act (DFARS Case
96-D017)
The interim rule issued by Departmental Letter 97-002, on January
8, 1997, is converted to a final rule with minor editorial changes at
239.7003(f)(1), 239.7102-3, and 239.7302(b)(2)(i). The rule amends
DFARS Part 239 to conform to the FAR revisions published as Item I of
Federal
[[Page 34119]]
Acquisition Circular 90-41. The FAR revisions implemented the
Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (Division E of
Public Law 104-106).
Item XXXV--Automatic Data Processing Equipment Leading Cost (DFARS Case
96-D011)
The interim rule issued by Departmental Letter 97-010, on March 3,
1997, is converted to a final rule without change. The rule amends
DFARS Subpart 239.73 to remove references and requirements pertaining
to the cost principle on automatic data processing equipment leasing
costs that was removed from FAR 31.205-2 by federal Acquisition
Circular 90-44.
Item XXXVI--Contract Administration Under No-Charge Reciprocal
Agreements (DFARS Case 96-D014)
This final rule amends DFARS 242.101 to specify that DoD may
provide contract administration services to a non-DoD organization
under a no-charge reciprocal agreement. The Arms Export Control Act
(Public Law 90-629), as amended by Section 110 of Public Law 99-83,
provides that the U.S. Government may perform contract administration
services, without charge, for a foreign government that is a member of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, if the foreign government
provides such services to the U.S. Government on a no-charge reciprocal
basis.
Item XXXVII--Submission of Commercial Freight Bills (DFARS Case 97-
D006)
This final rule removes the clause at DFARS 252.242-7002,
Submission of Commercial Freight Bills for Audit, and the corresponding
prescriptive language at 242.1404-2-70. The DFARS clause has been
superseded by the clause at FAR 52.247-67, Submission of Commercial
Transportation Bills to the General Services Administration for Audit.
Item XXXVIII--Monitoring Contractor Costs (DFARS Case 96-D029)
This final rule removes DFARS Subpart 242.70, Monitoring Contractor
Costs, to eliminate specific requirements for the establishment of
formal programs for Government monitoring of contractor costs. This
change is expected to provide greater flexibility in the adoption of
alternate techniques for control and monitoring of costs under
Government contracts.
Item XXXIX--Downsizing Notice (DFARS Case 96-D321)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 96-024, effective
December 26, 1996 (61 FR 67952, December 26, 1996). The rule removes
DFARS 249.102, 249.7002, 252.249-7001, and DD Form 2604 to implement
Section 825 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1997 (Public Law 104-201). Section 825 repealed the requirement for the
Secretary of Defense to notify the Secretary of Labor if a modification
or termination for convenience of a major defense contract or
subcontract will have substantial impact on employment.
Item XL--Notice of Termination (DFARS Case 96-D320)
The interim rule issued by Departmental Letter 96-021 on December
6, 1996, is converted to a final rule without change. The rule revises
DFARS 249.7003 and the clause at 252.249-7002 to implement Section 824
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public
Law 104-201). Section 824 streamlines the statutory requirements for
providing notification to contractors regarding contract terminations
or reductions that are expected to occur as a result of reduced funding
levels under major defense programs.
Item XLI--Economically Disadvantaged Representations (DFARS Case 97-
D004)
This final rule amends the provision at DFARS 252.219-7000 to
update the listed categories of socially and economically disadvantaged
individuals, for conformance with the Small Business Administration
regulations at 13 CFR 124.105.
Item XLII--Trade Agreements Clauses (DFARS Case 96-D008)
This final rule amends the provision and clause at DFARS 252.255-
7006 and 252.225-7007 to (1) specify that offers of foreign end
products will be evaluated in accordance with the policies and
procedures of DFARS Part 225; (2) revise the definitions of ``Caribbean
Basin country end product,'' ``designated country end product,'' and
``NAFTA country end product'' for consistency with the FAR definitions
of these terms; and (3) specify that a contractor may deliver only
domestic end products unless, in its offer, it specified delivery of
U.S. made, qualifying country, designated country, Caribbean Basin
country, NAFTA country, or other nondesignated country end products.
Item XLIII--Caribbean Basin and Designated Countries (DFARS Case 96-
D015)
This final rule amends the clause at DFARS 252.225-7007 to (1) add
a definition of ``Caribbean Basin country'' in place of a reference to
the definition at FAR 25.401, and (2) update the definition of
``designated country'' for conformance with the policy of the U.S.
Trade Representative.

Spain, dated July 2, 1982. The Agreement relates to contacts to be
performed in whole or part in Spain, the provisions of which are
hereby incorporated into and made a part of this contract by
reference.
(c) The Contractor shall apply to the appropriate Spanish
authorities for approval of status as a Direct Contractor in order

and supplies represented as necessary for contract performance by
the Contracting Officer. Orders for equipment, materials, and
supplies placed prior to official notification of such approval
shall be at the Contractor's own risk. The Contractor must submit
its documentation in sufficient time to permit processing by the
appropriate United States and Spanish Government agencies prior to
the arrival of the equipment, material, or supplies in Spain.
Seasonal variations in processing times are common, and the
Contractor should program its projects accordingly. Any delay or
expense arising directly or indirectly from this process shall not
excuse untimely performance (except as expressly allowed in other
provisions of this contract), constitute a direct or constructive
change, or otherwise provide a basis for additional compensation or
adjustment of any kind.

for, exported, or disposed of, in accordance with Spanish law, the
Contractor shall obtain a written bank letter of guaranty payable to

be designated by the Contracting Officer, in the amount set forth in
paragraph (g) of this clause, prior to effecting any duty-free
imports for the performance of this contract.

Contractor agrees that the Contracting Officer may withhold a
portion of the contract payments in order to establish a fund in the
amount set forth in paragraph (g) of this clause. The fund shall be
used for the payment of import taxes in the event that the
Contractor fails to properly account for, export, or dispose of
equipment, materials, or supplies imported on a duty-free basis.
(f) The amount of the bank letter of guaranty or size of the
fund required under paragraph (d) or (e) of this clause normally
shall be 5 percent of the contract value. However, if the Contractor
demonstrates to the Contracting Officer's satisfaction that the
amount retained by the United States Government or guaranteed by the
bank is excessive, the amount shall be reduced to an amount
commensurate with contingent import tax and duty-free liability.
This bank guaranty or fund shall not be released to the Contractor
until the Spanish General Directorate of Customs verifies the
accounting, export, or disposition of the equipment, material, or
supplies imported on a duty-free basis.
(g) The amount required under paragraph (d), (e), or (f) of this
