In Title 40 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Parts 266 to 299, revised as 

of July 1, 2006, in § 273.9, on page 463, 

in alphabetical order, reinstate the 

definition of ‘‘On-site’’ to read as 

follows: 

§ 273.9 Definitions. 

* * * * * 

On-site means the same or 

geographically contiguous property 

which may be divided by public or 

private right-of-way, provided that the 

entrance and exit between the 

properties is at a cross-roads 

intersection, and access is by crossing as 

opposed to going along the right of way. 

Non-contiguous properties owned by 

the same person but connected by a 

right-of-way which he controls and to 

which the public does not have access, 

are also considered on-site property.

48 CFR Part 1816 

RIN 2700–AD33 

Award Fee Administrative Changes 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule makes 

administrative changes to the NASA 

FAR Supplement (NFS) to clarify the 

requirements for award fee evaluation 

factors and to add a requirement for a 

documented cost/benefit analysis when 

an award fee contract is used. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective 

June 29, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom 

O’Toole, NASA, Office of Procurement, 

Contract Management Division (Suite 

5J86); (202) 358–0478; e-mail: 

thomas.otoole@nasa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The Government Accountability 

Office (GAO) report entitled ‘‘NASA 

Procurement: Use of Award Fees for 

Achieving Program Outcomes Should 

Be Improved’’ (GAO–07–58), dated 

January 2007, included 

recommendations for improving NASA 

award fee policy. The GAO 

recommended that NASA require cost/ 

benefit analysis documentation when 

using an award fee contract and also 

recommended that NASA reemphasize 

the importance of tying award fee 

criteria to desired outcomes and 

limiting the number of evaluation 

subfactors. NASA agreed with both 

GAO recommendations, and is revising 

the NFS accordingly. 

This is not a significant regulatory 

action and, therefore, was not subject to 

review under Section 6(b) of Executive 

Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

interim rule is not a major rule under 5 

U.S.C. 804. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act does 

not apply to this final rule. This final 

rule does not constitute a significant 

revision within the meaning of FAR 

1.501 and Public Law 98–577, and 

publication for public comment is not 

required. However, NASA will consider 

comments from small entities 

concerning the affected NFS coverage in 

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested 

parties should cite 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., 

in correspondence. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act (Pub. 

L. 104–13) is not applicable because the 

NFS changes do not impose information 

collection requirements that require the 

approval of the Office of Management 

and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et 

seq.
