principles of Next Generation Compliance to promote higher rates of compliance with requirements we may include in a FIP, general permit, or other permitting approach for oil and natural gas production sources located in Indian country. Our objective is to promote high rates of compliance through cost-effective, incentive-based approaches that capitalize on existing systems used by the industry, and that ensure the availability and transparency of compliance information to the public and the EPA. VIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Under Executive Order 12866 Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 13563 Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011), this is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action.’’ Because this action does not propose or impose any requirements, the various statutes and Executive Orders that normally apply to rulemaking do not apply. Should the EPA subsequently determine to pursue a rulemaking, the EPA will address the statutes and Executive Orders as applicable to that rulemaking.

Because this document does not impose or propose any requirements, and instead seeks comments and suggestions for the Agency to consider in possibly developing a subsequent proposed rule, the various other review requirements that apply when an agency imposes requirements do not apply to this action.

The EPA seeks any comments or information that would help the Agency ultimately to assess the potential impact of a rule on small entities pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ); to consider voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note); to consider environmental health or safety effects on children pursuant to Executive Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); or to consider human health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations pursuant to Executive Order 12898, entitled ‘‘Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

The Agency will consider such comments during the development of any subsequent proposed rule.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

DoD is proposing to revise the DFARS to implement section 807 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008, Public Law 110–181 (10 U.S.C. 2330a), which requires the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress an annual inventory of the activities performed during the preceding fiscal year pursuant to contracts for services for or on behalf of the DoD, to include direct labor hours and cost data collected from
contractors.

II. Discussion

This rule proposes to require contractors to report service contract direct labor and corresponding dollar value data for prime contractors and subcontractors in the Enterprise-wide Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (ECMRA) database annually or at the end of contract performance, whichever comes first. Data collected via the ECMRA database will enable DoD to identify and track the services provided by contractors and comply with section 807 of the NDAA for FY
2008.

The rule proposes to amend DFARS parts 212, 237, and 252 as follows:

• At DFARS 212.301, the proposed DFARS clause 252.237–70XX, Service Contract Reporting Requirements, is added to apply to solicitations and contracts for the acquisition of commercial items.

• At DFARS 237.17X, a new section is added that provides the scope and applicability of the DoD service contract
