[Docket No. DHS–2009–005] 

RIN 1601–AA43 

Homeland Security Acquisition 

Regulation; Limitations on 

Subcontracting in Emergency 

Acquisitions; Withdrawal 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Procurement 

Officer, Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: DHS is withdrawing a 

proposed rule titled Limitations on 

Subcontracting in Emergency 

Acquisitions (HSAR Case 2009–005) and 

providing notice of its cancellation. The 

notice of proposed rulemaking proposed 

to amend the Homeland Security 

Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) to 

implement Limitations on Tiering of 

Subcontractors limiting the use of 

subcontractors on cost-reimbursement 

type contracts entered into by the 

Department to facilitate the response to 

or recovery from a natural disaster or act 

of terrorism or other man-made disaster. 

DATES: The proposed rule published on 

June 9, 2010 (75 FR 32723) is 

withdrawn effective September 7, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Mail: Department of 

Homeland Security, Office of the Chief 

Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy 

and Legislation, ATTN: Catherine 

Benavides, 245 Murray Drive, Bldg. 410 

(RDS), Washington, DC 20528. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Catherine Benavides, Procurement 

Analyst, DHS, Office of the Chief 

Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy 

and Legislation at (202) 897–8301 or 

email HSAR@hq.dhs.gov. When using 

email, include HSAR Case 2009–005 in 

the ‘‘Subject’’ line. 

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 109–295 PostKatrina 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 117–253, 

effective December 20, 2022, repealed 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.
