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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This final rule amends the DFARS as follows:
1. Clarifies the designation at 209.403(1) for the Department of Army debarring and suspending official.
2. Revises codes of offices designated to receive reports referenced at 215.403-1(c)(3)(B) and 230.201-5.
