SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
This final rule contains instructions for contracting officers to
use in
[[Page 36946]]
completing DD Form 350, Individual Contracting Action Report, during
Fiscal Year 2004. DoD uses this form to collect statistical data on its
contracting actions. The rule includes changes related to reporting of
contract modification actions and program or system information.
DD Form 350, and other forms prescribed by the DFARS, are not
included in the Code of Federal Regulations. The forms are available
electronically via the Internet at http://web1.whs.osd.mil/icdhome/ddeforms.htm
.
This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule will not have a significant cost or administrative impact
on contractors or offerors, or a significant effect beyond the internal
operating procedures of DoD. Therefore, publication for public comment
is not required. However, DoD will consider comments from small
entities concerning the affected DFARS subpart in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 610. Such comments should cite DFARS Case 2003-D002.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the 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.
