**AGENCY:**
Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense (DoD).
**ACTION:**
Final rule.
**SUMMARY:**
DoD has issued a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to relocate text addressing trade sanctions, to reflect the removal of the corresponding subpart of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
**EFFECTIVE DATE:**
July 11, 2006.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**
Ms. Amy Williams, Defense Acquisition Regulations System, OUSD (AT&L) DPAP (DARS), IMD 3C132, 3062 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3062. Telephone (703) 602-0328; facsimile (703) 602-0350. Please cite DFARS Case 2006-D003.
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**A. Background**
Item VII of Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-09, published at 71 FR 20305 on April 19, 2006, removed FAR Subpart 25.6, Trade Sanctions. Therefore, this final rule removes the corresponding DFARS subpart. The text formerly included in DFARS Subpart 225.6, addressing DoD statutory restrictions relating to the Secondary Arab Boycott of Israel, is relocated to a new DFARS Subpart 225.76 with no substantive change in content.
This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.
**B. Regulatory Flexibility Act**
This rule will not have a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors, or a significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of DoD. Therefore, publication for public comment is not required. However, DoD will consider comments from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subparts in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should cite DFARS Case 2006-D003.
**C. Paperwork Reduction Act**
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply, because the rule does not impose any information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, *et seq.*
