IV.  Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration certify that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule implements the Department of Labor's (DOL) final rule that implemented E.O. 13496, Notification of Employee Rights Under Federal Labor Laws. This E.O. requires contractors to display a notice to employees of their rights under Federal labor laws, and the DOL has determined that the notice shall include employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act.

DOL certified in its final rule (published in the Federal Register at 75 FR 28368 on May 20, 2010, with an effective date of June 21, 2010) that its rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. After reviewing DOL's certification, DoD, GSA, and NASA concurred that no regulatory flexibility analysis was needed. DoD, GSA, and NASA did not receive comments from small entities in response to the invitation to do so included in the FAR interim rule that published in the Federal Register at 75 FR 77723 on December 13, 2010.
