RIN 9000-AF34
Federal Acquisition Regulation; Walsh-Healey Definitions
agencies: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
action: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense
Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule to amend
the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to add a reference to the
alternative ``regular dealer'' qualification requirements for
information systems integrators found in Department of Labor (DOL)
regulations. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of
Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated
September 30, 1993.
effective date: February 27, 1995.
for further information contact: Mr. Jack O'Neill at (202) 501-3856 in
reference to this FAR case. For general information, contact the FAR
Secretariat, Room 4037, GS Building, Washington, DC 20405 (202) 501-
4755. Please cite FAC 90-23, FAR case 92-36.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
On July 16, 1992, DOL published, in the Federal Register at 57 FR
31566, a revision to 41 CFR 50-201.101 establishing criteria which an
information systems integrator must meet in order to qualify as a
regular dealer under the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act. This final
rule revises the regular dealer requirements at FAR 22.606-2(b) to be
consistent with 41 CFR 50-201.101.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The final rule does not constitute a significant FAR revision
within the meaning of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98-577, and publication
for public comments is not required; therefore, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act does not apply. However, comments from small entities
concerning the affected subpart will be considered in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 610. Such comments must be submitted separately and cite 5
U.S.C. 601, et seq. (FAC 90-23, FAR case 92-36), in correspondence.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to
the FAR do not impose recordkeeping or information collection
requirements, or collections of information from offerors, contractors,
or members of the public which require the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

(b) For certain specific products (lumber and timber products,
machine tools, hay, grain, feed or straw, raw cotton, green coffee,
petroleum, agricultural liming materials, tea, raw or unmanufactured
cotton linters, certain uranium products, used automatic data
processing equipment, speciality advertising products, and products
provided by information systems integrators), there are alternate
qualifications for regular dealers in which the dealer need not
physically maintain a stock. The requirements under the alternative
qualifications are set forth at 41 CFR 50-201.101(a)(2) and 50-201.604.
