DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

48 CFR Parts 636, 637, and 652 

[Public Notice: 10531] 

RIN 1400–AE04 

Department of State Acquisition 

Regulation; Safety Requirements 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State 

(DOS) is adopting as final an interim 

rule amending the Department of State 

Acquisition Regulation (DOSAR) to 

provide new guidance prescribing more 

stringent safety requirements for certain 

overseas construction and services 

projects. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

June 28, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Tandra Jones, Office of the Procurement 

Executive, A/OPE, 1735 North Lynn 

Street, Room 442, Arlington VA 22209. 

Telephone 703–875–6643. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of State published an 

Interim Rule, Public Notice 9703, at 82 

FR 58351, on December 12, 2017, with 

a request for comments. The comment 

period closed February 12, 2018. No 

comments on the rule were received. 

Regulatory Findings 

Administrative Procedure Act 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2), 

which exempts from the Administrative 

Procedure Act matters relating to 

contracts, the Department published 

this rulemaking as an interim final rule, 

and provided 60 days for public 

comment. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This rulemaking is not a ‘‘rule’’ as 

defined by the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); therefore, that 

Act does not apply to it. However, the 

Department of State has reviewed this 

regulation and, by approving it, certifies 

that it will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. This 

determination was based on the fact that 

few of the DOS overseas construction 

contracts are performed by small 

business concerns. In FY 2015, only 19 

of the 161 DOS overseas construction 

contractors to which this would apply 

were small business concerns. 

Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 

This final rule will not result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any year and it will not significantly 

or uniquely affect small governments. 

Therefore, no actions were deemed 

necessary under the provisions of the 

Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 

This rule is not a major rule as 

defined by the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Act of 1996 (5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq.). This rule will not 

result in an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more; a 

major increase in costs or prices; or 

significant adverse effects on 

competition, employment, investment, 

productivity, innovation, or on the 

ability of United States-based 

companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and 

import markets. 

Executive Orders 12866, 13563 and 

13771 

Executive Orders (E.O.) 12866 and 

13563 direct agencies to assess costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts and equity). 

E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance 

of quantifying both costs and benefits, of 

reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, 

and of promoting flexibility. 

The Department has reviewed the 

regulation to ensure its consistency with 

the regulatory philosophy and 

principles set forth in the Executive 

Orders and finds that the benefits of this 

rule outweigh any costs, which the 

Department assesses to be minimal. This 

interim final rule is not subject to the 

requirements of Executive Order 13771 

because this final rule has been 

determined to be non-significant within 

the meaning of the Executive Order 

12866. 

Executive Order 13132 

This rule will not have substantial 

direct effects 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. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 6 of Executive 

Order 13132, it is determined that this 

rule does not have sufficient federalism 

implications to require consultations or 

warrant the preparation of a federalism 

summary impact statement. 

Executive Order 13175 

The Department has determined that 

this rulemaking will not have tribal 

implications, will not impose 

substantial direct compliance costs on 

Indian tribal governments, and will not 

pre-empt tribal law. Accordingly, the 

requirements of Executive Order 13175 

do not apply to this rulemaking. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final rule does not impose or 

modify any information collections 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The 

information collection related to this 

rulemaking has been assigned OMB 

Control Number 1405–0050. 

List of Subjects in 48 CFR Parts 636, 

637 and 652 

Government procurement. 

■ Accordingly, the interim rule 

amending 48 CFR parts 636, 637 and 

652 that was published at 82 FR 58351, 

on December 12, 2017, is adopted as a 

final rule without change. 

Zachary A. Parker, 

Director, U.S. Department of State.
