Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) Acquisition Regulation 

System; Removal of Chapter 44 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of 

effective date. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) published 

a direct final rule that notified the 

public of its intent to remove the FEMA 

Acquisition Regulation in its entirety. 

FEMA did not receive any comments on 

the rule. Therefore, the rule will go into 

effect as scheduled. 

DATES: The effective date of the direct 

final rule published March 2, 2007 (72 

FR 9445) is confirmed as May 1, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

2, 2007, FEMA published a direct final 

rule at 72 FR 9445 that notified the 

public of FEMA’s intent to remove the 

FEMA Acquisition Regulation 

(FEMAAR) at 48 CFR Chapter 44 in its 

entirety. The specific language and 

subsequent clauses are removed as a 

result of the transfer of FEMA to the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) on March 1, 2003. The Homeland 

Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) 

created a department-wide acquisition 

regulation for DHS in 48 CFR Chapter 

30, and included FEMA in the list of 

entities for which the chapter applied, 

thereby superseding and making 48 CFR 

Chapter 44 duplicative and 

unnecessary. FEMA has not received an 

adverse comment, or notice of intent to 

submit an adverse comment, on this 

rule. Therefore, the rule will go into 

effect as scheduled.

Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement; Acquisition 

Integrity (DFARS Case 2006–D044) 

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, Department of 

Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: DoD has issued a final rule 

amending the Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement 

(DFARS) to address requirements for the 

separation of Government functions for 

oversight, source selection, contract 

negotiation, and contract award. The 

rule contains best practice policies for 

use by the military departments and 

defense agencies. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 26, 2007.

Gary Delaney, Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, OUSD (AT&L)

20301–3062. Telephone (703) 602–8384; 

facsimile (703) 602–0350. Please cite 

DFARS Case 2006–D044. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

This final rule adds a new section at 

DFARS 203.170 to address requirements 

for the separation of Government 

functions for oversight, source selection, 

contract negotiation, and contract 

award. The rule contains best practice 

policies to ensure the separation of such 

functions. 

This rule was not subject to Office of 

Management and Budget review under 

Executive Order 12866, dated 

September 30, 1993. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This rule will not have a significant 

cost or administrative impact on 

contractors or offerors, or a significant 

effect beyond the internal operating 

procedures of DoD. Therefore, 

publication for public comment under 

41 U.S.C. 418b is not required. 

However, DoD will consider comments 

from small entities concerning the 

affected DFARS subpart in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments 

should cite DFARS Case 2006–D044. 

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.

■ Therefore, 48 CFR part 203 is 

amended as follows: 

PART 203—IMPROPER BUSINESS 

PRACTICES AND PERSONAL 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 

■ 1. The authority citation for 48 CFR 

part 203 continues to read as follows: 

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

Chapter 1. 

■ 2. Section 203.170 is added to read as 

follows: 

203.170 Business practices. 

To ensure the separation of functions 

for oversight, source selection, contract 

negotiation, and contract award, 

departments and agencies shall adhere 

to the following best practice policies: 

(a) Senior leaders shall not perform 

multiple roles in source selection for a 

major weapon system or major service 

acquisition. 

(b) Vacant acquisition positions shall 

be filled on an ‘‘acting’’ basis from 

below until a permanent appointment is 

made. To provide promising 

professionals an opportunity to gain 

experience by temporarily filling higher 

positions, these oversight duties shall 

not be accrued at the top. 

(c) Acquisition process reviews of the 

military departments shall be conducted 

to assess and improve acquisition and 

management processes, roles, and 

structures. The scope of the reviews 

should include—

(1) Distribution of acquisition roles 

and responsibilities among personnel; 

(2) Processes for reporting concerns 

about unusual or inappropriate actions; 

and 

(3) Application of DoD Instruction
