ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to require use of the electronic contract attachments accessible via the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program to record and track warranty data and source of repair information for serialized items. DATES: Effective March 25, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Jo Ann Reilly, telephone 571-372- 6176. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background DoD published a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 80 FR 58671 on September 30, 2015, to require use of the electronic contract attachments accessible via the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program to record and track warranty data and source of repair information for serialized items. No public comments were submitted in response to the proposed rule. II. Discussion and Analysis There are two editorial changes from the proposed rule made in the final rule. The title ``International Standards Organization/ International Electrotechnical Commission'' is spelled out in lieu of the acronym ISO/IEC in the definition of ``issuing agency'' at DFARS 246.701 and 252.246-7006(a). In addition, the list of examples of organizations that are responsible for assigning globally unique identifiers to an enterprise is removed from the definition of ``issuing agency'' at DFARS 246.701, 252.211-7003(a), and 252.246- 7006(a), because a full list is available in the Register of Issuing Agency Codes for ISO/IEC 15459, the link for which is already provided in the definition. III. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and for Commercial Items, Including Commercially Available Off-the-Shelf Items The provision at DFARS 252.246-7005, Notice of Warranty Tracking and Serialized Items, and the clause at DFARS 252.246-7006, Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items, are prescribed for use when the solicitation includes the clause at 252.211-7003, Item Unique Identification and Valuation, and it is anticipated that the resulting contract will include a warranty for serialized items. The clause at 252.211-7003 is applicable to acquisitions valued at or below at or below the simplified acquisition threshold and for commercial items, including commercially available off-the-shelf items, involving the furnishing of supplies, unless the conditions in DFARS 211.274-2(b) apply. This rule does not change prescriptions for the provision at 252.246-7005 and the clause at 252.246-7006; rather, this rule merely require use of the electronic contract attachments to record and track warranty data and source of repair information for serialized items. IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all 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. This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804. V. Regulatory Flexibility Act DoD has prepared a final regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) consistent with the Regulatory Flexibility Act 5.U.S.C. 601, et seq. The FRFA is summarized as follows: The objective of the rule is to improve the process of collecting and sharing data on warranties provided by contractors on serialized items procured by DoD. Use of the electronic formats available via the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP) ensures the data elements for warranty terms are effectively transmitted through various systems, such as Electronic Document Access, Wide Area WorkFlow, the Invoice, Receipt, Acceptance and Property Transfer module, and the PDREP Warranty Tracking database. The final rule requires the use of the electronic formats for the ``Warranty Tracking Information'' and ``Source of Repair Instructions'' attachments, which are used to track the warranties of serialized items in accordance with the provision at DFARS 252.246-7005, Notice of Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items, and the clause at DFARS 252.246- 7006, Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items. This rule is also necessary to provide clear guidance on the requirements for completion and submission of the warranty attachments. There were no issues raised by the public in response to the initial regulatory flexibility analysis provided in the proposed rule. According to data available in the Federal Procurement Data System, in fiscal year (FY) 2014 DoD awarded 5,807 contracts that contain one or more warranty clauses. Subject matter experts within DoD estimate that almost twice as many solicitations (11,500) issued by DoD in FY 2014 may have contained a warranty clause. It is also estimated that an average of four offers may have been received in response those solicitations, or 46,000 total offers. Of those responses, approximately 85 percent, or 39,100 responses, are estimated to be received from small businesses. It is estimated that fifty percent of the time (for approximately 5,750 solicitations) the Government will specify the desired warranty terms, in which case the contractor provides the remaining data elements on the ``Warranty Tracking Information'' attachment and the ``Source of Repair Instructions'' attachment with its proposal, at contract award, or at the point of delivery. The other fifty percent of the time, the contractor will be required to specify all the warranty terms on the ``Warranty Tracking Information'' attachment and the ``Source of Repair Instructions'' attachment. This rule does not create any new reporting or recordkeeping requirements. Offerors and contractors are already required to complete the attachments in accordance with the provision at DFARS 252.246-7005, Notice of Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items, and the clause at DFARS 252.246-7006, Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items. This rule merely requires contractors and offerors [[Page 17043]] to complete the existing warranty attachments using the specified electronic formats. No known alternatives to the rule have been identified that would achieve the stated objectives. VI. Paperwork Reduction Act The rule contains information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35); however, these changes to the DFARS do not impose additional information collection requirement to the paperwork burden previously approved under OMB Control Number 0704-0481, entitled ``Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items.'' The rule clarifies existing requirements for completion and submission of warranty attachments and requires electronic submission of those attachments by using the formats available in the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program. List of Subjects in 48 CFR Parts 246 and 252 Government procurement. Jennifer L. Hawes, Editor, Defense Acquisition Regulations System. Therefore, 48 CFR parts 246 and 252 are amended as follows: 0 1. The authority citation for parts 246 and 252 continues to read as follows: Authority: 41 U.S.C. 1303 and 48 CFR chapter 1.

Serialized item means each item produced is assigned a serial number that is unique among all the collective tangible items produced by the enterprise, or each item of a particular part, lot, or batch number is assigned a unique serial number within that part, lot, or batch number assignment within the enterprise identifier. The enterprise is responsible for ensuring unique serialization within the enterprise identifier or within the part, lot, or batch numbers, and that serial numbers, once assigned, are never used again. Unique item identifier means a set of data elements marked on an item that is globally unique and unambiguous. Warranty tracking means the ability to trace a warranted item from delivery through completion of the effectivity of the warranty. 0 3.
