Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation; Limitations on
Subcontracting in Emergency Acquisitions; Withdrawal
AGENCY: Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DHS is withdrawing a proposed rule titled Limitations on
Subcontracting in Emergency Acquisitions (HSAR Case 2009-005) and
providing notice of its cancellation. The notice of proposed rulemaking
proposed to amend the Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR)
to implement Limitations on Tiering of Subcontractors limiting the use
of subcontractors on cost-reimbursement type contracts entered into by
the Department to facilitate the response to or recovery from a natural
disaster or act of terrorism or other man-made disaster.
DATES: The proposed rule published on June 9, 2010 (75 FR 32723) is
withdrawn effective September 7, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Mail: Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Chief
Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy and Legislation, ATTN:
Catherine Benavides, 245 Murray Drive, Bldg. 410 (RDS), Washington, DC
20528.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Catherine Benavides, Procurement
Analyst, DHS, Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, Acquisition
Policy and Legislation at (202) 897-8301 or email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#71392230233119005f1519025f161e07"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="da92899b889ab2abf4beb2a9f4bdb5ac">[email protected]</span></a>. When
using email, include HSAR Case 2009-005 in the ``Subject'' line.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 9, 2010 the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) proposed to amend the Department of Homeland Security
Acquisition Regulation (HSAR), 48 CFR chapters 15, 16 and 52 to provide
notice to implement Public Law 109-295 Post-Katrina Emergency
Management Reform Act (PKERMA), title VI, section 692, Limitations on
Tiering of Subcontractors. Subsequently, title VIII, Section 866 of the
Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009
resulted in government-wide changes to the Federal Acquisition
Regulation to prevent excessive subcontracting, making Section 692
unnecessary.
DHS is withdrawing this proposed rule because Public Law 117-253,
effective December 20, 2022, repealed Sec. 692 of the Post-Katrina
Reform Act of 2006. Thus, DHS will not take any further action on this
proposal.
Paul Courtney,
Chief Procurement Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
