This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense (DoD).
Final rule.
DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial changes.
Effective December 28, 2017.
Ms. Jennifer L. Hawes, Defense Acquisition Regulations System, OUSD(AT&L)DPAP(DARS), Room 3B941, 3060 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3060. Telephone 571-372-6115; facsimile 571-372-6094.
This final rule amends the DFARS as follows—
1. Corrects the title of DFARS clause 252.204-7009 at 204.7304(b) and 212.301(f)(ii)(B) to add the missing words “Reported Cyber Incident” to the clause title.
2. Revises the following DFARS sections to reflect updated references and cite the applicable volumes of DoD Manual 4140.01, which replaced DoD 4140.1-R. The updated references are cited at: DFARS 211.275-2(a)(1), 217.7001(b), 217.7002(b), 217.7003(a), 217.7506, 217.7601(b), 239.7001, 242.1105(1)(i), and 252.211-7006(b)(1)(i).
3. Corrects cross references at DFARS 218.271(d), 225.7501(a)(2)(i), 227.7103-10(a)(1), 237.102-75, and 252.247-7020 introductory text.
4. Provides guidance at DFARS 219.705-4(d) that contracting officers may use the checklist at DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) 219.705-4 when reviewing subcontracting plans, and to see PGI 219.705-6(f) for guidance on reviewing subcontracting reports.
5. Revises DFARS 222.406-9(c)(3) to state that the Department of Labor will retain withheld funds pending completion of an investigation or other administrative proceedings in lieu of the Comptroller General. On November 25, ( printed page 61480) 2014, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) final rule 2014-011 was published in the Federal Register (79 FR 70342) to implement the Streamlining Claims Processing for Federal Contractor Employees Act, which transferred certain functions from the Government Accountability Office to the Department of Labor. This update aligns DFARS 222.406-9(c)(3) with FAR 22.406-9(c)(3).
6. Corrects, at DFARS 225.870-4(c)(3), the titles of DFARS clauses 252.215-7003 and 252.215-7004 by adding the missing words “Submission of” to each clause title.
7. Corrects a reference at DFARS 242.7301(b).
8. Makes a minor editorial change to DFARS 242.7503 by adding “or” after the semicolon in paragraph (a).
9. Corrects a typographical error at DFARS 243.204-70-3(b) by correcting the spelling of “contracting”.
10. Renumbers DFARS section 245.103-73 as 245.103-74. Provides new guidance at DFARS 245.103-73 for contracting officers to see DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) 245.103-73 for information on reporting Government property under sustainment contracts.
11. Makes an editorial correction to DFARS clause 252.246-7008, by adding a comma in paragraph (e).
12. Provide updated internet links at DFARS 252.245-7002(b)(1) and 252.245-7004(b) and (b)(1)(iv).
