    http://wwwacq.osd.mil/dp/dars/dfars.html/

    This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.

  2. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This final rule does not constitute a significant revision within the meaning of FAR 1.501 and Pub. L. 98-577 and publication for public comment is not required. However, comments from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subparts will be considered in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should cite DFARS Case 98-D024.

  3. 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.
