This final rule will remove 48 CFR part 5108, “Required Sources of Supplies and Services,” which was codified on September 20, 1989 (54 FR 38682), and never updated. The purpose of the rule was to provide Army-specific procedures, for a three-year test period, for industrial preparedness production planning. Over the years, the procedures for industrial preparedness planning in the DoD have evolved. For example, coverage of the DoD Industrial Preparedness Production Planning Program at Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) subpart 208.72 (Industrial Preparedness Production Planning) was removed on July 11, 2006 (71 FR 39004) because there was no longer a DoD-wide Program. DFARS section 217.208-70, “Additional clauses,” (codified March 9, 1998 (63 FR 11529) and most recently updated December 4, 2018 (83 FR 62503)), prescribes the use of the clause at DFARS 252.217-7001 (Surge Option) when a surge option is needed in support of industrial capability production planning. The clause at DFARS 252.217-7001 (Surge Option) (codified July 31, 1991 (56 FR 36479) and most recently updated December 4, 2018 (83 FR 62503)) informs contractors that the Government has the option to increase the quantity, or accelerate the delivery, of supplies or services under the contract and provides the terms for the exercise of the option and subsequent delivery of the surge quantities. These updates to regulation and process changes made the rule at part 5108 obsolete.Start Printed Page 33707
The removal of this text supports a recommendation from the DoD Regulatory Reform Task Force. On February 24, 2017, the President signed Executive Order (E.O.) 13777, “Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,” which established a Federal policy “to alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens” on the American people. In accordance with E.O. 13777, DoD established a Regulatory Reform Task Force to review and validate DoD regulations. The DoD Task Force reviewed the requirements of 48 CFR part 5108 and determined that the coverage was obsolete and recommended removal.
Accordingly, by the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 48 CFR part 5108 is removed.
