ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DoD has issued a final rule amending the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to clarify that the statutory

applies only to DoD contracts that use fiscal year 2000 or 2001 funds.

Regulations Council, OUSD(AT&L)DP(DAR), IMD 3C132, 3062 Defense
Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3062. Telephone (703) 602-0328;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The restriction on acquisition of vessel propellers at DFARS
225.7020 implements Section 8064 of the DoD Appropriations Act for
Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-259). Section 8064 provides that no
funds appropriated in fiscal year 2000 or 2001 may be used for the
procurement of vessel propellers other than those produced by a
domestic source and of domestic origin. The DoD Appropriations Act for
Fiscal Year 2002 (Public Law 107-117) contains no such provision.
Therefore, this final rule amends DFARS 225.7020 to clarify that the
restriction applies only to DoD contracts that use fiscal year 2000 or
2001 funds.
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 2002-D006.
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.
