Abstract: The Civilian Agency 

Acquisition Council and the Defense

implement revisions to the Small 

Business Administration’s HUBZone 

Program as a result of revisions to the

Planning and Review, dated September 

30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule 

under 5 U.S.C. 804.

REPORTING PROCEDURES 

Legal Authority: 40 USC 121(c); 10 

USC ch 137; 42 USC 2473(c) 

Abstract: The Civilian Agency 

Acquisition Council and the Defense 

Acquisition Regulations Council 

(Councils) are issuing an interim rule 

amending the FAR to revise three 

subparagraphs and add one 

subparagraph to the clause at FAR 

52.204-11. This interim rule does not 

require renegotiation of existing 

Recovery Act contracts that include the 

clause dated March 2009 (published at 

74 FR 14639). This change will require 

first-tier subcontractors with Recovery 

Act funded awards of $25,000 or more, 

to report jobs information to the prime 

contractor for reporting into 

FederalReporting.gov. It also will 

require the prime contractor to submit 

its first report on or before the 10th 

day after the end of the calendar 

quarter in which the prime contractor 

received the award, and quarterly 

thereafter. 

This is a significant regulatory action 

and, therefore, was subject to review 

under section 6(b) of Executive Order 

12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. 

This rule is not a major rule under 5 

U.S.C. 804.

interim rule to amend the Federal

Funding Accountability and 

Transparency Act of 2006 (Pub. L. No.

of Public Law 110-252, which requires 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to establish a free, public, 

website containing full disclosure of all 

Federal contract award information. 

This rule will require contractors to 

report executive compensation and 

first-tier subcontractor awards on 

contracts expected to be $25,000 or 

more, except classified contracts, and 

contracts with individuals. This is a 

significant regulatory action and, 

therefore, was subject to review under 

section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, 

Regulatory Planning and Review, dated 

September 30, 1993. This rule is not 

a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

Abstract: The Civilian Agency

relationship among various small 

business programs.

action and, therefore, was not subject

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, dated September 

30, 1993. The rule is not a major rule
