I.  Background

DoD published a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 76 FR 61296 on October 4, 2011. DoD also issued a correction to a sentence in the Background Summary of the Federal Register notice on October 18, 2011, at 76 FR 64297. One respondent submitted public comments in response to the proposed rule.

With some exceptions, as provided at DFARS 225.870-1(c), the Canadian Commercial Corporation awards and administers DoD contracts with contractors located in Canada. DoD has waived the requirement for the Canadian Commercial Corporation and its subcontractors to submit certified cost or pricing data (see DFARS 215.403-1(c)(4)(C)). However, the purpose of this rule is to clarify that the requirement to submit data other than certified cost or pricing data has not been waived.
