This proposed rule revises DFARS 

204.804 to remove text addressing DoD 

procedures for closeout of contract files.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 58 / Tuesday, March 27, 2007 / Proposed Rules 14257 

Additional information on PGI is 

available at http://www.acq.osd.mil/ 

dpap/dars/pgi/index.htm. 

This rule was not subject to Office of 

Management and Budget review under 

Executive Order 12866, dated 

September 30, 1993. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

DoD does not expect this rule to 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 the rule pertains to 

administrative procedures for contract 

closeout functions performed by the 

Government. Therefore, DoD has not 

performed an initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis. DoD invites 

comments from small businesses and 

other interested parties. DoD also will 

consider comments from small entities 

concerning the affected DFARS subparts 

in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such 

comments should be submitted 

separately and should cite DFARS Case 

2006–D045. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply, because the rule does not 

impose any information collection 

requirements that require the approval 

of the Office of Management and Budget 

under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. 

List of Subjects in 48 CFR Parts 204 and 

244

Michele P. Peterson, 

Editor, Defense Acquisition Regulations

1. The authority citation for 48 CFR 

parts 204 and 244 continues to read as 

follows: 

Authority: 41 U.S.C. 421 and 48 CFR 

Chapter 1. 

PART 204—ADMINISTRATIVE 

MATTERS 

2. Section 204.804 is revised to read 

as follows: 

204.804 Closeout of contract files. 

Contracting officers shall close out 

contracts in accordance with the 

procedures at PGI 204.804. The closeout 

date for file purposes shall be 

determined and documented by the 

procuring contracting officer. 

204.804–1 and 204.804–2 [Removed] 

3. Sections 204.804–1 and 204.804–2 

are removed. 

PART 244–SUBCONTRACTING
