76358 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

in FAR 42.709(b) and FAR 42.709–6 are 

increased from $500,000 to $550,000.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of Defense, the 

General Services Administration, and 

the National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration certify that this final 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities within the 

meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because most 

contracts awarded to small entities use 

simplified acquisition procedures or are 

awarded on a competitive, fixed-price 

basis, and do not require application of 

the cost principles discussed in this 

rule.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply because the changes to the 

FAR do not impose information 

collection requirements that require the 

approval of the Office of Management 

and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et 

seq.
