SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
This proposed rule amends DFARS Parts 212, 219, 225, 226, 227, 233,
and 252 to remove particular certification requirements. The proposed
rule implements Section 4301(b) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106). Section 4301(b) requires
the head of each executive agency, that has agency procurement
regulations containing one or more certification requirements for
contractors and offerors that are not specifically imposed by statute,
to issue for public comment a proposal to remove from the agency
regulations those certification requirements that are not specifically
imposed by statute. The head of the agency can omit such a
certification from its proposal only if: (1) The senior procurement
executive for the executive agency provides the head of the executive
agency with a written justification for the requirement and a
determination that there is no less burdensome means for administering
and enforcing the particular regulation that contains the certification
requirement; and (2) the head of the executive agency approves in
writing the retention of such certification requirement.
The DFARS certifications for contractors and offerors proposed for
elimination are summarized as follows:

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This proposed rule is expected to have a significant beneficial
impact on a substantial number of small entities, because it reduces
the number of certifications that offerors and contractors must provide
to the Government. An Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA)
has been prepared and may be obtained from the address specified
herein. A copy of the IRFA has been submitted to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. The IRFA is summarized
as follows: This rule removes DFARS certification requirements for
contractors and offerors that are not specifically imposed by statute.
The objective and legal basis of the rule is Section 4301(b) of the
Fiscal Year 1996 Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 104-106). The
rule will apply to all entities, large and small, who are interested in
receiving Government contracts. The rule imposes no reporting,
recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements, but, rather, deletes
existing certification requirements that are not required by statute.
The rule does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with any other
Federal rules. There are no practical alternatives that will
effectively implement Section 4301(b) of Public Law 104-106. The rule
is expected to have a beneficial impact on the public and, therefore,
applies equally to both large and small entities.
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 must be submitted separately and cite DFARS Case 96-D306 in
correspondence.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the proposed
rule does not impose any new recordkeeping, 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.
