Agenda,'' which established a Federal policy ``to alleviate unnecessary 
regulatory burdens'' on the American people. Section 3(e) of the E.O.

permitted by law, from entities significantly affected by Federal 
regulations, including State, local, and tribal governments, small 
businesses, consumers, non-governmental organizations, trade 
associations'' on regulations. On June 20, 2017, DoD solicited such 
input from the public to inform evaluation of the DFARS solicitation 
provisions and contract clauses by the Task Force's DFARS Subgroup. The 
comment period is extended three weeks from August 21, 2017, to 
September 11, 2017, to provide additional time for interested parties
