          - 48 CFR Parts 212 and 252
          - [Docket DARS-2021-0001]

# AGENCY:

Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense (DoD).

# ACTION:

Final rule.

# SUMMARY:

DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial changes.

# DATES:

Effective January 15, 2021.

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Jennifer D. Johnson, Defense Acquisition Regulations System, OUSD(A&S)DPC(DARS), Room 3B938, 3060 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3060. Telephone 571-372-6100.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This final rule amends the DFARS as follows:

                    1. Corrects the numbering of paragraphs at section 212.301(f)(ii). On December 31, 2019, DoD published in the                     **Federal Register**                     at 84 FR 72231 an interim rule titled “Covered Defense Telecommunications Equipment or Services (DFARS Case 2018-D022)”. The rule added paragraphs (f)(ii)(H), (I), and (J); however the correct paragraph numbers should have reflected (f)(ii)(G), (H), and (I). A prior change to this section on October 31, 2019, published at 84 FR 58332, had redesignated paragraphs (f)(ii)(F) and (G) as paragraphs (f)(ii)(E) and (F); however, this redesignation was not reflected in the paragraph numbering in the December 19, 2019, publication. This sequence of events resulted in the current electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR) not reflecting a paragraph (f)(ii)(G) in the numbering sequence, which this amendment corrects.                

                    2. Corrects DFARS clause 252.244-7000 in paragraph (d) by removing “(c)” and adding “(d)” in its place. On                           ( print page 3836)                        September 29, 2020, DoD published in the                     **Federal Register**                     at 85 FR 60918 a final rule titled “Treatment of Certain Items as Commercial Items (DFARS Case 2019-D029)” that included this change; however, the revision is not reflected in the eCFR. This amendment corrects the eCFR.
