    SUMMARY: The Director of Defense Procurement has issued a final rule 
    amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 
    to clarify that DoD contract administration procedures permit 
    electronic notification to the payment office of Government acceptance 
    or approval of supplies or services.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: December 15, 1998.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Ms. Sandra Haberlin, Defense Acquisition Regulations Council, 
    PDUSD(A&T)DP(DAR), IMD 3D139, 3062 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 
    20301-3062. Telephone (703) 602-0131; telefax (703) 602-0350. Please

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    
    A. Background
    
        This final rule amends DFARS 232.905 to clarify that DoD Manual 
    4000.25-5-M, Military Standard Contract Administration Procedures 
    (MILSCAP), authorizes electronic notification to the payment office of 
    Government acceptance or approval of supplies delivered or services 
    performed under a contract.
    
    [[Page 69007]]
    
    B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        The final rule does not constitute a significant revision within 
    the meaning of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98-577 and publication for 
    public comment is not required. However, comments from small entities 
    concerning the affected DFARS subpart will be considered in accordance 
    with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should cite DFARS Case 98-D001.
    
    C. Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the final 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.
