SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    An interim rule with request for comments was published in the
Federal Register at 63 FR 31963 on June 11, 1998. The rule added a new
DFARS subpart and a new contract clause pertaining to antiterrorism/
force protection policy for DoD contracts that require performance or
travel outside the United States. No comments were received in response
to the interim rule. The interim rule is converted to a final rule
without change.
    This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    DoD certifies that this final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the
meaning of the Regulatory

[[Page 24530]]

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule applies only
to contracts that require performance or travel outside the United
States, and any costs related to compliance with the rule should be
included in the contract price.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rule does
not contain any information collection requirements that require the
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501,
et seq.
