    SUMMARY: The Director of Defense Procurement has issued a final rule 
    amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 
    to reflect the reassignment of contracting responsibility for radio and 
    television communication equipment under the DoD Coordinated 
    Acquisition Program.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: February 23, 1999.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Ms. Melissa Rider, 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 cite DFARS 
    Case 98-D008.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    A. Background
    
        DFARS Subpart 208.70 prescribes policy and procedures for DoD 
    acquisition of items under the Coordinated Acquisition Program. 
    Commodity assignments under the program are listed in DFARS Appendix B. 
    This final rule amends DFARS Appendix B to reflect the reassignment of 
    contracting responsibility for radio and television communication 
    equipment, from the Army to the Television-Audio Support Activity.
    
    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-D008.
    
    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.
