This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804. III. Regulatory Flexibility Act DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE RIN 0750–AH30 A Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has been prepared consistent with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., and is summarized as follows: This final rule amends the DFARS to implement section 812 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, (10 U.S.C. 2430 note). Section 812(b)(5) requires appropriate consideration of the manufacturing readiness and manufacturing-readiness processes of potential contractors and subcontractors as a part of the source selection process for major defense acquisition programs. No public comments were received in response to the initial regulatory flexibility analysis. No comments were filed by the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration in response to the interim rule. The rule will apply to DoD Major Defense Acquisition Program contractors and subcontractors. Most major defense acquisition programs are awarded to large concerns as these programs are of a scope too large for any small business to perform. As such, it is not expected that this rule will have a significant impact on a significant number of small entities. The final rule imposes no reporting, recordkeeping, or other information collection requirements. There are no known significant alternatives to the rule that would meet the requirements of the statute. The impact on small entities is expected to be positive.

the System for Award Management (DFARS Case 2011-D053)
Acquisition Regulation Supplement for the transition of the Integrated
Acquisition Environment systems to the new System for Award Management
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Julian E. Thrash, (703) 602-0310.
The Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) is an electronic
Government initiative that aggregates Federal acquisition content by
providing one Web site for regulations, systems, resources,
opportunities, and training. The Web site at https://www.acquisition.gov was designed to create an easily navigable resource
that is both more efficient and transparent.
The transition of the IAE to the new System for Award Management
(SAM) architecture has begun. Phase One will transition the Central
Contractor Registration (CCR), the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS),
and Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) to the
new SAM architecture. This rule provides the first step in updating the
DFARS for these changes by updating Web address in the DFARS for two
references to ORCA to show that the application is now available
through https://www.acquisition.gov. Future DFARS cases are anticipated
to actually change the names of the systems to SAM once the transition
is complete, as well as to begin the transition of the remaining IAE
A related FAR case, 2011-021, Transition to the System for Award
Management, is revising the Federal Acquisition Regulation references
for the CCR, EPLS, and ORCA databases as being accessible through
https://www.acquisition.gov.
DoD has issued this rule as a final rule because this rule is
administrative as it only updates existing Web page addresses does not
have a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or
offerors. Therefore, public comment is not required in accordance with
