0750-AJ97 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0750 Defense Acquisition Regulations Council DARC 0700 Department of Defense DOD Repeal of DFARS Clause, "Notification of Transportation of Supplies by Sea" (DFARS Case 2018-D035)

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to repeal the contract clause 252.247-7024, Notification of Transportation of Supplies by Sea. While this notification is necessary to ensure compliance with the Cargo Act of 1904, it does not need to be in a separate clause. The requirement of this clause to notify the Government in the event that, during performance of the contract, the contractor learns that supplies will be transported by sea can be included in DFARS 252.247-7023, Transportation of Supplies by Sea. This DFARS clause is unnecessary and can be removed. The removal of this DFARS text supports a recommendation from the DoD Regulatory Reform Task Force.
