30232 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 99 / Wednesday, May 22, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

DoD does not expect this final rule to 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

because it applies to a narrowly limited 

population of procurement actions 

however, a final regulatory flexibility 

analysis has been prepared consistent 

with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 

U.S.C. 601, et seq., and is summarized 

as follows: 

This rule will clarify which contracts 

are to be coded with an ‘‘F’’ in the 9th 

position of the PIIN. It is not anticipated 

that the rule will impact small entities 

as it only impacts the internal operating 

procedures of the Government by 

specifying how the assigned PIIN is 

constructed for certain procurement 

actions. This change limits the use of 

‘‘F’’ in the 9th position to task and 

delivery orders and calls issued under a 

non-DoD issued contract or agreement. 

As a result of the rule, new awards 

under the AbilityOne program and the 

FPI programs will no longer reflect an 

‘‘F’’ in the 9th position of the in the 

PIIN. DoD uses other data elements, 

such as specific DUNS numbers and 

validations from the Ability One 

Program, as indicators for awards to 

Federal Prison Industries and Ability 

One vendors. 

V. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The rule does not contain any 

information collection requirements that 

require the approval of the Office of 

Management and Budget under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35).
