I. Background

As part of NASA's retrospective review of existing regulations pursuant to section 6 of Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, NASA conducted a comprehensive review of its regulations and published two final rules in the Federal Register. The final rule published on March 12, 2015, (80 FR 12935) requires the following editorial changes:

• Renumber section 1817.7300 as 1817.7000 and section 1817.7302 as 1817.7002. The final rule published on March 12, 2015, redesignated subpart 1817.73 as 1817.70, but failed to address its subsections.
• Correct the clause date at section 1852.215-81.
