48 CFR Chapter 2 

RIN 0750–AI46 

Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement: Appendix F— 

Energy Receiving Reports (DFARS 

Case 2014–D024) 

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, Department of 

Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule 

amending the Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement 

(DFARS) to identify the Wide Area 

WorkFlow Energy Receiving Report as 

the electronic equivalent of the DD 

Form 250, Material Inspection and 

Receiving Report, for overland 

shipments and the DD Form 250–1, 

Tanker/Barge Material Inspection And 

Receiving Report, for waterborne 

shipments. 

DATES: Effective May 26, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Johnson, telephone 571–372– 

6176. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register at 79 FR 73539 on 

December 11, 2014, to amend Appendix 

F of the DFARS to identify the Wide 

Area WorkFlow (WAWF) Energy 

Receiving Report as the electronic 

equivalent of the paper DD Form 250 for 

overland shipments and the DD Form 

250–1 for waterborne shipments. 

DFARS 232.7002, Policy, requires 

contractors to submit payment and 

receiving reports in electronic form, and 

the accepted electronic form identified 

in DFARS 232.7003, Procedures, is 

WAWF. In addition, the clause at 

DFARS 252.232–7003, Electronic 

Submission of Payment Requests and 

Receiving Reports, requires payment 

requests and receiving reports using 

WAWF in nearly all cases. 

II. Discussion and Analysis 

There were no public comments 

submitted in response to the proposed 

rule. No changes have been made from 

the proposed rule. 

III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 

13563 direct agencies to assess all costs 

and benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This is not a significant 

regulatory action and, therefore, was not 

subject to review under section 6(b) of 

E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 

804. 

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

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 amends the Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement 

(DFARS) Appendix F to identify the 

Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) Energy 

Receiving Report as the electronic 

equivalent of the DD Form 250, Material 

Inspection and Receiving Report, for 

overland shipments and the DD Form 

250–1, Tanker/Barge Material 

Inspection and Receiving Report, for 

waterborne shipments. 

DFARS 232.7002, Policy, requires 

contractors to submit payment and 

receiving reports in electronic form, and 

the accepted electronic form is WAWF. 

DFARS 232.7003, Procedures, identifies 

WAWF as the accepted electronic form. 

In addition, the clause at DFARS 

252.232–7003, Electronic Submission of 

Payment Requests and Receiving 

Reports, requires payment requests and 

receiving reports using WAWF in nearly 

all cases. 

No comments were received from the 

public regarding the initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis. 

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. The 

rule affects all DoD contractors who are 

not exempt from using WAWF. Exempt 

classes of contracts are those that are 

listed under the seven categories of 

contracts at DFARS 232.7002, Policy. 

The projected recordkeeping is 

limited to that required to properly 

record shipping and receiving 

information under Government 

contracts. Preparation of these records 

requires clerical and analytical skills to 

create the documents and input them 

into the electronic WAWF system. 

There is no significant economic 

impact on small entities. 

V. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The rule contains 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). 

However, these changes to the DFARS 

do not impose additional information 

collection requirements to the 

paperwork burden previously approved 

under OMB Control Number 0704–0248, 

entitled Material Inspection and 

Receiving Report. 

List of Subjects in 48 CFR Appendix F 

to Chapter 2 

Government procurement. 

Amy G. Williams, 

Editor, Defense Acquisition Regulations 

System. 

Therefore, 48 CFR chapter 2, 

subchapter I, is amended in appendix F 

as follows: 

CHAPTER 2—DEFENSE ACQUISITION 

REGULATIONS SYSTEM, DEPARTMENT OF 

DEFENSE 

■ 1. The authority citation for appendix 

F to chapter 2 continues to read as 

follows: 

Authority: 41 U.S.C. 1303 and 48 CFR 

chapter 1. 

■ 2. Amend appendix F to chapter 2 by: 

■ a. In section F–101, revising 

paragraph (a) and the first sentence of 

paragraph (b); 

■ b. In section F–103, revising 

paragraph (d) introductory text; 

■ c. In section F–104, revising 

paragraph (b) introductory text; 

■ d. Revising the part 3 heading; and 

■ e. In section F–301, revising 

paragraph (b)(13). 

The revisions read as follows: 

Appendix F to Chapter 2—Material 

Inspection and Inspection and 

Receiving Report

Part 1—Introduction 

F–101 General. 

(a) This appendix contains procedures and 

instructions for the use, preparation, and 

distribution of the Wide Area WorkFlow 

(WAWF) Receiving Report, the WAWF 

Energy RR, and commercial shipping/

packing lists used to document Government 

contract quality assurance. The WAWF RR is 

the electronic equivalent of the DD Form 250, 

Material Inspection and Receiving Report 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
29984 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 26, 2015 / Rules and Regulations

electronic equivalent of the DD Form 250 for 

overland shipments and DD Form 250–1, 

Tanker/Barge Material Inspection and 

Receiving Report, for waterborne shipments. 

(b) The use of the DD Form 250 series 

documents is on an exception basis (see 

DFARS 232.7002(a)) because use of the 

WAWF RR is now required by most DoD 

contracts. * * *
