                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                On June 9, 2010 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed to amend the Department of Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR), 48 CFR chapters 15, 16 and 52 to provide notice to implement Public Law 109295 Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKERMA), title VI, section 692, Limitations on Tiering of Subcontractors. Subsequently, title VIII, Section 866 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 resulted in government-wide changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation to prevent excessive subcontracting, making Section 692 unnecessary.
                DHS is withdrawing this proposed rule because Public Law 117253, effective December 20, 2022, repealed Sec. 692 of the Post-Katrina Reform Act of 2006. Thus, DHS will not take any further action on this proposal.
                
                    Paul Courtney,
                    Chief Procurement Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
