Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Technical 
Amendments

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial 
changes.

facsimile 571-372-6094.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule amends the DFARS as follows:
    1. Amends section 225.103(b)(iii) to remove an obsolete cross 
reference at paragraph (A) and redesignate paragraphs (B) and (C) as 
paragraphs (A) and (B), respectively. Amends section 225.202(a)(2) to 
remove an obsolete cross reference. DFARS case 2013-D020, which was 
published in the Federal Register at 79 FR 44314 on July 31, 2014, 
removed an outdated list of nonavailable articles at section 
225.104(a). However, the cross references at 225.103(b)(iii)(A) and 
225.202(a)(2) to the list at 225.104(a) were not removed.
    2. Amends DFARS clause 252.245-7004, Reporting, Reutilization, and 
Disposal, to update a reference and a link to the reference contained 
in paragraph (b)(1)(iv).
