SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is issuing this final rule to transition the internal
procedures of completing the CD-570, small business review form, from
the public. The purpose of the administrative rulemaking is to align
the current and correct practices of the Department of Commerce with
the documented process and procedures outlined in regulation and
policy. The CD-570 remains a requirement, however, instruction for
administration will reside within the CAM. This change allows faster
transition of evolving policies and practices within Commerce without
bringing disruption to external entities. Contracting Officers will be
required to comply with the content requirements set forth in CAM
1319.70 when documenting their small business form for vetting.
Classification
This final rule contains no information collection requirements
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
This final rule is being issued in compliance with Executive Order
14192.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), the provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act requiring notice of proposed rulemaking
and the opportunity for public participation are inapplicable to
rulemakings that are rules of agency organization, procedure, or
practice. This rule only removes the instruction for completing Form
CD-570 from the CAR but the instruction will remain in the CAM which
will remain publicly available. This final rule is a routine
organizational rule. Therefore, this rule qualifies for exemption and
no public notice and comment period is required.
Additionally, Commerce finds good cause to waive the notice and
public comment period for this rule because the effect of the rule does
not place any burden on the public or require the public to undertake
or cease any particular action. Therefore, a public notice and comment
period would be unnecessary and qualifies for waiver under the APA (see
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B)).
