48 CFR Chapter 2 

[Docket No. DARS–2014–0012] 

Review of Statutory and Regulatory 

Requirements 

AGENCY: Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The Director of Defense 

Procurement and Acquisition Policy 

(DPAP) is currently conducting an 

assessment to identify impacts 

experienced by industry resulting from 

contracting statutes. 

DATES: Submit written comments to the 

address shown below on or before 

March 14, 2014. Comments received 

will be considered by DoD in the 

formation of a recommendation to the 

Secretary of Defense if a revision to the 

definition is necessary and appropriate. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to: Mr. 

Michael Canales, Room 5E621, 3060 

Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 

20301–3060. Comments may also be 

submitted by fax at (703) 614–1254, or 

by email at michael.j.canales4.civ@

mail.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Michael Canales, DPAP/CPIC, by 

telephone at (703) 695–8571, or by 

email at michael.j.canales4.civ@

mail.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the assessment is to support 

an internal Department of Defense (DoD) 

effort to reduce compliance impacts that 

do not achieve the benefits intended by 

contracting statutes. As part of this 

assessment, DPAP would like to receive 

the views of interested parties 

identifying particular impacts 

associated with specific contracting 

statutes. There is an extensive body of 

law and regulation that govern the 

Department’s business. We are seeking 

to better understand the impact 

experienced by industry resulting from 

requirements based on statute. Our 

initial review identified approximately 

400 DFARS requirements based solely 

on statute. The Director, DPAP, is 

soliciting public input to identify 

particular impacts associated with 

specific contracting statutes, with 

reference to— 

• Particular impacts associated with 

specific contracting statutes; 

• Why the identified impact does not 

achieve the intended benefit of the 

identified legislation, or why the 

intended benefit is not helpful to the 

Department; and 

• Any recommendations for 

alternative approaches to achieve the 

intended benefit of the identified 

legislation. 

We are also interested in candidate 

DFARS and component supplements 

requirements that, although not based in 

statute, warrant similar consideration.
