Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement: Electronic 

Submission and Processing of 

Payment Requests and Receiving 

Reports (DFARS Case 2016–D032) 

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, Department of 

Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule 

amending the Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement 

(DFARS) to clarify policies and 

procedures for submission of payment 

requests and receiving reports in 

electronic form. 

DATES: Effective December 21, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Kimberly R. Ziegler, telephone 571– 

372–6095. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register at 83 FR 30661 on June 

29, 2018, to amend the DFARS to clarify 

and, where necessary, update policies 

and procedures for providing electronic 

payment-related documents and for 

processing payment requests and 

receiving reports in Wide Area 

WorkFlow (WAWF). Title 10 of the 

United States Code (U.S.C.), section 

2227, Electronic Submission and 

Processing of Claims for Contract 

Payments, requires that any claim for 

payment under a DoD contract be in 

electronic format. If electronic 

submission is unduly burdensome, 10 

U.S.C. 2227 allows an exemption. 

DoD published a final rule in the 

Federal Register at 77 FR 38731 on June 

29, 2012 (DFARS Case 2011–D027), to 

update DFARS policies and procedures 

for electronic submission of payment 

requests and receiving reports and 

established WAWF as the accepted DoD 

system for processing invoices and 

receiving reports. However, some 

contractors have been prevented from 

using WAWF for some contracts, 

because of a misinterpretation of the 

exemptions in DFARS subpart 232.70, 

Electronic Submission and Processing of 

Payment Requests and Receiving 

Reports. This final rule clarifies those 

exemptions and allows contractors to 

request permission from the contracting 

officer, in writing, to submit payment 

requests and receiving reports using 

temporary alternative methods, other 

than in electronic form. 

One respondent submitted two public 

comments in response to the proposed 

rule. 

II. Discussion and Analysis 

DoD reviewed the public comments in 

the development of the final rule. 

A. Summary of Significant Changes 

From the Proposed Rule 

There are no changes made to the 

final rule as a result of the public 

comments. 

B. Analysis of Public Comments 

Comment: The respondent stated, 

‘‘The Unit Price entry should be 

required if a shipment is partial or 

incomplete.’’ 

Response: This comment is outside of 

the scope of this case. 

Comment: The respondent expressed 

concern the rule might impact the 

requirement to submit Inspection and 

Acceptance documents with a 

contractor’s request for payment. 

Response: The DFARS text revisions 

do not remove the requirement for 

contractors to submit Inspection and 

Receiving Reports with Payment 

Requests. Instead, the updates provide 

an alternative means of submittal if 

WAWF is not feasible, subject to 

contracting officer approval. 

C. Other Changes 

The following additional changes 

from the proposed rule are made in the 

final rule: 

• A minor edit is made to the DFARS 

text at 212.301(f)(xviii)(A) to update the 

reference to the renumbered section at 

DFARS 246.370. 

• In DFARS clause 252.232–7003, the 

full text of the definitions of ‘‘contract 

financing payment’’ and ‘‘invoice 

payment’’ are provided in lieu of a 

reference to the definitions at FAR 

32.001. 

• In DFARS clause 252.232–7006, the 

definitions section is revised to add a 

reference to DFARS clause 252.232– 

7003 for the definitions of ‘‘payment 

request’’ and ‘‘receiving report.’’ 

III. Applicability to Contracts at or 

Below the Simplified Acquisition 

Threshold and for Commercial Items, 

Including Commercially Available Offthe-Shelf Items 

This rule amends the clauses at 

DFARS 252.232–7003, Electronic 

Submission and Processing of Payment 

Requests and Receiving Reports, and 

252.232–7006, Wide Area WorkFlow 

Payment Instructions. The objective of 

the rule is to clarify and, where 

necessary, update the policies and 

procedures for electronic submission of 

payment requests and receiving reports 

and amends the two clauses listed 

above. 

DoD will continue to apply both 

clauses to contracts at or below the 

simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) 

and to the acquisition of commercial 

items, including commercially available 

off-the-shelf (COTS) items, as defined at 

FAR 2.101. This rule clarifies and 

updates policies and procedures for 

electronic submission of payment 

requests and receiving reports. Not 

applying this guidance to contracts at or 

below the SAT and for the acquisition 

of commercial items, including COTS 

items, would exclude contracts 

intended to be covered by this rule and 

undermine the overarching purpose of 

the rule. Consequently, DoD plans to 

apply the rule to contracts at or below 

the SAT and for the acquisition of 

commercial items, including COTS 

items. 

IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 

13563 direct agencies to assess all costs 

and benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This is not a significant 

regulatory action and, therefore, not 

subject to review under section 6(b) of 

E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 

804. 

V. Executive Order 13771 

This final rule is not subject to E.O. 

13771, because this rule is not a 

significant regulatory action under E.O. 

12866. 

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

A final regulatory flexibility analysis 

(FRFA) has been prepared consistent 

with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 

U.S.C. 601, et seq. The FRFA is 

summarized as follows: 

This final rule clarifies and, where 

necessary, updates policies and 

procedures for submission of payment 

requests and receiving reports in 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES5
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 66063 

electronic form, which is accomplished 

through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). 

DoD contractors, regardless of size, are 

required to submit payment requests in 

electronic form under a previously 

implemented statutory requirement at 

10 U.S.C. 2227. This final rule clarifies 

the exemptions to this requirement at 

DFARS subpart 232.70, which allows 

contractors to request permission from 

the contracting officer, in writing, to 

submit payment requests and receiving 

reports using temporary alternative 

methods, other than in electronic form. 

There were no issues raised by the 

public in response to the initial 

regulatory flexibility analysis provided 

in the proposed rule. 

The rule applies to DoD contractors, 

regardless of size. In fiscal year 2016, 

approximately 71,910 small businesses 

were registered to use WAWF. DoD 

estimates that approximately 70 small 

businesses may submit, on an annual 

basis, one request each for use of a 

temporary alternative method of 

submission of payment requests and 

receiving reports. 

The rule does not impose any 

reporting or recordkeeping requirements 

on any small entities. 

There are no known alternative 

approaches to the rule that would meet 

the requirements. 

VII. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35) does apply; however, 

these proposed changes to the DFARS 

do not impose additional information 

collection requirements to the 

paperwork burden previously approved 

under Office of Management and Budget 

Control Number 0704–0248, Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement, Appendix F, Inspection 

and Receiving Report.

■ 4. Revise section 232.7002 to read as 

follows: 

232.7002 Policy. 

(a) Payment requests and receiving 

reports are required to be submitted in 

electronic form, except for— 

(1) Classified contracts or purchases 

when electronic submission and 

processing of payment requests and 

receiving reports could compromise the 

safeguarding of classified information or 

national security; 

(2) Cases in which contractor 

submission of electronic payment 

requests and receiving reports is not 

feasible (e.g., when contract 

performance is in an environment 

where internet connectivity is not 

available); 

(3) Cases in which DoD is unable to 

receive payment requests or provide 

acceptance in electronic form; 

(4) Cases in which the contractor has 

requested permission in writing to 

submit payment requests and receiving 

reports by nonelectronic means, and the 

contracting officer has provided 

instructions for a temporary alternative 

method of submission of payment 

requests and receiving reports in the 

contract administration data section of 

the contract or task or delivery order 

(e.g., section G, an addendum to FAR 

52.212–4, or applicable clause); and 

(5) When the Governmentwide 

commercial purchase card is used as the 

method of payment, in which case only 

submission of the receiving report in 

electronic form is required. 

(b)(1) The only acceptable electronic 

form for submission of payment 

requests and receiving reports is Wide 

Area WorkFlow (WAWF) (https://

wawf.eb.mil/), except as follows: 

(i) For payment of commercial 

transportation services provided under a 

Government rate tender, contract, or 

task or delivery order for transportation 

services, the use of a DoD-approved 

electronic third party payment system 

or other exempted vendor payment/ 

invoicing system (e.g., PowerTrack, 

Transportation Financial Management 

System, and Cargo and Billing System) 

is permitted. 

(ii) For submitting and processing 

payment requests and receiving reports 

for contracts or task or delivery orders 

for rendered health care services, the 

use of TRICARE Encounter Data System 

as the electronic form is permitted. 

(2) Facsimile, email, and scanned 

documents are not acceptable electronic 

forms of payment requests or receiving 

reports. 

■ 5. Revise section 246.7003 to read as 

follows: 

232.7003 Procedures. 

(a) DoD officials receiving payment 

requests in electronic form shall process 

the payment requests in electronic form. 

The WAWF system provides the method 

to electronically process payment 

requests and receiving reports.

such as receiving reports, invoice 

approvals, contracts, contract 

modifications, and required 

certifications, shall also be processed in 

electronic form. 

(2) Scanned documents and other 

commonly used file formats are only 

acceptable for processing supporting 

documentation.

officer shall— 

(1) Consult the payment office and the 

contract administration office regarding 

the alternative method to be used for 

submission of payment requests or 

receiving reports (e.g., facsimile or 

conventional mail); and 

(2) Provide procedures for invoicing 

in the contract administration data 

section of the contract or task or 

delivery order (e.g., section G, an 

addendum to FAR 52.212–4, or 

applicable clause) for submission of 

invoices by nonelectronic means. If 

submission of invoices by nonelectronic 

means is temporary, the procedures 

should specify the time period for 

which they apply. 

■ 6. Revise section 232.7004 to read as 

follows:

(18) Unit price. When using the WAWF 

RRR, the unit price is the price of the repair, 

overhaul, or maintenance service from the 

contract. 

(i) The contractor may, at its option, enter 

unit prices on the WAWF RR, except when 

the contract has IUID requirements and the 

receiving report is being processed in 

WAWF, the unit price must represent the 

acquisition cost that will be recorded in the 

IUID registry. Therefore, in such cases, the 

unit price is required. See DFARS 252.211– 

7003, Item Unique Identification and 

Valuation). 

(ii) The contractor shall enter unit prices 

for each item of property fabricated or 

acquired for the Government and delivered to 

a contractor as Government furnished 

property (GFP). Get the unit price from 

Section B of the contract. If the unit price is 

not available, use an estimate. The estimated 

price should be the contractor’s estimate of 

what the items cost the Government. When

F–305 Invoice Instructions 

Contractors shall submit payment requests 

and receiving reports in accordance with 

paragraph (b) of the clause at DFARS 

252.232–7003 unless one of the exceptions in 

paragraph (d) of that clause applies. 

F–306 Packing List Instructions 

(a) Contractors may use a WAWF 

processed RR or the WAWF RRR, as a 

packing list. WAWF provides an option to 

print the RR or RRR. Contractors can print a 

RR or RRR from a system other than WAWF 

if a signed copy is required. In such cases, 

the contractor shall print the WAWF RR or 

RRR only after a signature is applied by the 

Government inspector or authorized acceptor 

in WAWF. Copies printed from the 

contractor’s system shall be annotated with 

‘‘\\original signed in WAWF\\’’ in lieu of 

the inspector or acceptor’s signature. Ensure 

a copy is visible on the outside and one is 

placed inside the package. 

(b) If the contract requires Government 

source inspection and acceptance at origin, 

the contractor shall ensure that its packaging 

documentation includes a RR or RRR that 

documents inspection, acceptance, or both by 

the Government inspector or authorized 

acceptor. A paper DD Form 250 may be used 

in lieu of WAWF generated RRs or RRRs 

when one of the exceptions in paragraph (d) 

of the clause at DFARS 252.232–7003 

applies.
