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.

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment.

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or

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
