I. Background

    This final rule amends the existing Department of Energy 
Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) Subchapter I. The purpose of this rule is 
to update DEAR Subchapter I--Agency Supplementary Regulations, Part 
970--DOE Management and Operating Contracts to conform it to the FAR. 
None of today's changes are substantive or of a nature to cause any 
significant expense for DOE or its contractors.

II. Comments and Responses

    DOE published a notice of proposed rulemaking on June 9, 2010 (75 
FR 32719), with a public comment period ending on July 9, 2010. DOE 
received no comments.
    DOE amends the DEAR as follows:
    1. Section 970.0100 is amended to add the references for the Code 
of Federal Regulation (CFR) chapters 1 and 9.
    2. Section 970.0103 is revised to remove ``DEAR'' before 970.0309 
and remove ``FAR'' before 3.9 and add in its place ``48 CFR subpart'' 
in paragraph (a)(3).
    3. Section 970.0404-2 is amended to update the DOE Order to 475.1, 
Counterintelligence Program.
    4. Section 970.19 is amended to revise the subpart heading and the 
970.1907 section heading to conform to the FAR.
    5. Section 970.1907-1 is redesignated as 970.1907-4 to conform to 
the FAR.
    6. Part 970 is revised by adding a new subpart ``970.25 Foreign 
Acquisition'' and section ``970.2570 Contract clauses'' which provides 
instructions on when to insert and how to modify the clauses at FAR 
52.225-1, Buy American Act--Supplies, and FAR 52.225-9, Buy American 
Act--Construction Materials, in management and operating contracts.
    7. Section 970.3102-05-6 paragraphs (a)(7)(i) and (ii) are amended 
to clarify that the contract will set forth the reimbursable costs for 
compensation for personal services, it removes the reference to the 
personnel appendix. Paragraph (p)(1) revises the reference to the FAR 
from the ``Federal Acquisition Regulation'' to ``48 CFR.''
    8. Subpart 970.34 is amended by redesignating 970.3400 as 970.3405 
and 970.3400-1 as 970.3405-2 to conform with the FAR.
    9. Subpart 970.37 is revised to add the new section ``970.3706 
Performance-based acquisition'' and ``970.3706-1 General'' which 
references 970.1100 for policy and guidance on performance-based 
contracting for management and operating (M&O) contracts.
    10. Section 970.3770-1 is amended by adding that the use of DOE 
directives is prescribed in 970.0470.
    11. Section 970.5204-1 is amended by revising the date of the 
clause and removing ``DOE Order 5670.3, Counterintelligence Program'' 
in paragraph (a) of the clause and adding in its place ``DOE Order 
475.1, Counterintelligence Program, or its successor''.
    12. Section 970.5223-3 is amended by revising the date of the 
provision and adding that DOE may grant an extension to the 
notification or implementation period if necessary as per 10 CFR 707.5 
(g) in paragraph (b). This change will provide the contracting officer 
the authority to extend the time needed for the contractor to submit 
the workplace substance abuse program plan.

[[Page 68218]]

    13. Section 970.5223-4 is amended by revising the date of the 
clause and revising the clause to permit the contracting officer to 
agree to different date beyond the 30-day notice by the contractor for 
the submission of the workplace substance abuse program plan. This 
change will provide the Contracting Officer the authority to extend the 
time needed for the Contractor to submit the workplace substance abuse 
program plan.
    14. Section 970.5226-1 is amended by revising the punctuation in 
the last sentence of the clause.
    15. Section 970.5232-3 is amended at paragraph (h)(1) to add ``or 
subcontractor's'' after ``contractor's'' and to add ``and to interview 
any current employee regarding such transactions'' after ``hereunder.'' 
Section 871 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2009 and section 902 of Title IX of the Recovery Act 
formalized the current practices permitting access to the Government 
Accountability Office to records and to interview current employees of 
contractors and subcontractors administering contracts.
    16. Section 970.5235-1 is amended to update the clause to reference 
the clause 48 CFR 970.5217-1 in paragraph (c) since this clause applies 
the Work for Others Program. Also, paragraph (d) is amended to add the 
full title of DOE order 481.1.
    17. The rule text is amended as noted in paragraph 11 and in the 
tables at paragraphs 20 and 21 by removing ``FAR'' or ``DEAR'' and 
adding ``48 CFR''; removing ``FAR'' or ``48 CFR''; adding ``48 CFR'', 
revising the punctuation; and capitalizing Contractor, Contractor's, 
and Contracting Officer.

III. Procedural Requirements

A. Review Under Executive Order 12866

    Today's regulatory action has been determined not to be a 
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). 
Accordingly, this rule is not subject to review under that Executive 
Order by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

B. Review Under Executive Order 12988

    With respect to the review of existing regulations and the 
promulgation of new regulations, section 3(a) of Executive Order 12988, 
``Civil Justice Reform,'' 61 FR 4729 (February 7, 1996), imposes on 
Executive agencies the general duty to adhere to the following 
requirements: (1) Eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity; (2) write 
regulations to minimize litigation; and (3) provide a clear legal 
standard for affected conduct rather than a general standard and 
promote simplification and burden reduction. With regard to the review 
required by section 3(a), section 3(b) of Executive Order 12988 
specifically requires that Executive agencies make every reasonable 
effort to ensure that the regulation: (1) Clearly specifies the 
preemptive effect, if any; (2) clearly specifies any effect on existing 
Federal law or regulation; (3) provides a clear legal standard for 
affected conduct while promoting simplification and burden reduction; 
(4) specifies the retroactive effect, if any; (5) adequately defines 
key terms; and (6) addresses other important issues affecting clarity 
and general draftsmanship under any guidelines issued by the United 
States Attorney General. Section 3(c) of Executive Order 12988 requires 
Executive agencies to review regulations in light of applicable 
standards in section 3(a) and section 3(b) to determine whether they 
are met or if it is unreasonable to meet one or more of them. DOE has 
completed the required review and determined that, to the extent 
permitted by law, this rule meets the relevant standards of Executive 
Order 12988.

C. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires that 
an agency prepare an initial regulatory flexibility analysis for any 
regulation for which a general notice or rulemaking is required, unless 
the agency certifies that the rule, if promulgated, will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
(5 U.S.C. 605(b)). This rule updates references in the DEAR that apply 
to public contracts and does not impose any additional requirements on 
small businesses. Today's rule does not alter any substantive rights or 
obligations and, consequently, today's rule will not have a significant 
cost or administrative impact on contractors, including small entities. 
On the basis of the foregoing, DOE certifies that this rule would not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. Accordingly, DOE has not prepared a regulatory flexibility 
analysis for this rulemaking. DOE's certification and supporting 
statement of factual basis will be provided to the Chief Counsel for 
Advocacy of the Small Business Administration pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
605(b).

D. Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

    This final rule does not impose a collection of information 
requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq. Existing burdens associated with the collection of certain 
contractor data under the DEAR have been cleared under OMB control 
number 1910-4100.

E. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act

    DOE has concluded that promulgation of this rule falls into a class 
of actions which would not individually or cumulatively have 
significant impact on the human environment, as determined by DOE's 
regulations (10 CFR part 1021, subpart D) implementing the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). 
Specifically, this rule is categorically excluded from NEPA review 
because the amendments to the DEAR are strictly procedural (categorical 
exclusion A6). Therefore, today's rule does not require an 
environmental impact statement or environmental assessment pursuant to 
NEPA.

F. Review Under Executive Order 13132

    Executive Order 13132, 64 FR 43255 (August 4, 1999), imposes 
certain requirements on agencies formulating and implementing policies 
or regulations that preempt State law or that have federalism 
implications. Agencies are required to examine the constitutional and 
statutory authority supporting any action that would limit the 
policymaking discretion of the States and carefully assess the 
necessity for such actions. The Executive Order requires agencies to 
have an accountability process to ensure meaningful and timely input by 
state and local officials in the development of regulatory policies 
that have federalism implications. On March 14, 2000, DOE published a 
statement of policy describing the intergovernmental consultation 
process it will follow in the development of such regulations (65 FR 
13735). DOE has examined today's rule and has determined that it does 
not preempt State law and does not have a substantial direct effect on 
the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government. No further action is required by 
Executive Order 13132.

G. Review Under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104[boxh]4) 
generally

[[Page 68219]]

requires a Federal agency to perform a written assessment of costs and 
benefits of any rule imposing a Federal mandate with costs to State, 
local or tribal governments, or to the private sector, of $100 million 
or more. This rule does not impose any federal mandate on state, local 
or tribal governments or on the private sector.

H. Review Under the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 
1999

    Section 654 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations 
Act, 1999 (Pub. L. 105-277), requires Federal agencies to issue a 
Family Policymaking Assessment for any rulemaking or policy that may 
affect family well-being. This rule will have no impact on the autonomy 
or integrity of the family as an institution. Accordingly, DOE has 
concluded that it is not necessary to prepare a Family Policymaking 
Assessment.

I. Review Under Executive Order 13211

    Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use, 66 FR 28355, 
(May 22, 2001), requires Federal agencies to prepare and submit to 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of the Office of 
Management and Budget, a Statement of Energy Effects for any proposed 
significant energy action. A ``significant energy action'' is defined 
as any action by an agency that promulgates or is expected to lead to 
promulgation of a final rule, and that: (1) Is a significant regulatory 
action under Executive Order 12866, or any successor order; (2) is 
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, 
distribution, or use of energy; or (3) is designated by the 
Administrator of OIRA as a significant energy action. For any 
significant energy action, the agency must give a detailed statement of 
any adverse effects on energy supply, distribution, or use should the 
proposal be implemented, and of reasonable alternatives to the action 
and their expected benefits on energy supply, distribution, and use. 
Today's rule is not a significant energy action. Accordingly, DOE has 
not prepared a Statement of Energy Effects.

J. Review Under the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 
2001

    The Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 2001 (44 
U.S.C. 3516, note) provides for agencies to review most disseminations 
of information to the public under guidelines established by each 
agency pursuant to general guidelines issued by OMB. OMB's guidelines 
were published at 67 FR 8452 (February 22, 2002), and DOE's guidelines 
were published at 67 FR 62446 (October 7, 2002). DOE has reviewed 
today's rule under the OMB and DOE guidelines and has concluded that it 
is consistent with applicable policies in those guidelines.

K. Review Under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 
of 1996

    As required by 5 U.S.C. 801, the Department will report to Congress 
promulgation of this rule prior to its effective date. The report will 
state that it has been determined that the rule is not a ``major rule'' 
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(3).

L. Approval by the Office of the Secretary of Energy

    Issuance of today's rule has been approved by the Office of the 
Secretary.
