[DFARS Case 97–D318]

Defense Federal Acquisition

Regulation Supplement; Contractor

Use of Nonimmigrant Aliens—Guam

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Interim rule with request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The Director of Defense

Procurement has issued an interim rule

amending the Defense Federal

Acquisition Regulation Supplement

(DFARS) to implement Section 390 of

the National Defense Authorization Act

for Fiscal Year 1998. Section 390

requires that each DoD contract for base

operations support to be performed on

Guam prohibit performance of work

under the contract by any alien who is

issued a visa or otherwise provided

nonimmigrant status under the

Immigration and Nationality Act.

DATES: Effective date: June 11, 1998.

Comment date: Comments on the

interim rule should be submitted in

writing to the address shown below on

or before August 10, 1998, to be

considered in the formulation of the

final rule.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should

submit written comments to: Defense

Acquisition Regulations Council, Attn:

Michael Pelkey, PDUSD (A&T) DP

(DAR), IMD 3D139, 3062 Defense

Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301–3062.

Telefax (703) 602–0350.

E-mail comments submitted over the

Internet should be addressed to:

dfars@acq.osd.mil

Please cite DFARS Case 97–D318 in

all correspondence related to this issue.

E-mail comments should cite DFARS

Case 97–D318 in the subject line.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael Pelkey, telephone (703) 602–

0131.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

This interim rule adds a new DFARS

Subpart 222.73 and a new contract

clause at DFARS 252.222–7005 to

implement Section 390 of the National

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal

Year 1998 (Pub. L. 105–85). Section 390

provides that each DoD contract for base

operations support to be performed on

Guam shall contain a condition that

work under the contract may not be

performed by any alien who is issued a

visa or otherwise provided

nonimmigrant status under Section

101(a)(15)(H)(ii) of the Immigration and

Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.

1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)).

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The interim rule is not expected 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.,

because application of the rule is

limited to contracts for base operations

support to be performed on Guam.

Therefore, an initial regulatory

flexibility analysis has not been

performed. Comments are invited from

small businesses and other interested

parties. Comments from small entities

concerning the affected DFARS subpart

also will be considered in accordance

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

should be submitted separately and

should cite DFARS Case 97–D318 in

correspondence.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does

not apply because the interim 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.

D. Determination To Issue an Interim

Rule

A determination has been made under

the authority of the Secretary of Defense

that urgent and compelling reasons exist

to promulgate this interim rule without

prior opportunity for public comment.

This interim rule implements Section

390 of the National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998,

which requires that each DoD contract

for base operations support to be

performed on Guam prohibit

performance of work under the contract

by any alien worker who is issued a visa

or otherwise provided nonimmigrant

status under the Immigration and

Nationality Act. Immediate

implementation is necessary to preclude

violation of Section 390, which was

effective upon enactment on November

18, 1997. Comments received in

response to the publication of this

interim rule will be considered in the

formulation of the final rule.
