Reading Time:about 2 minutes
The Department of Commerce has issued a final rule to remove the internal procedures of the Form CD-570, which is a small business review form, from the public-facing Commerce Acquisition Regulation (CAR) and move them to the internal Commerce Acquisition Manual (CAM). This change is meant to speed up policy updates without disrupting external parties, as the instructions will now be documented internally. There is no effect on public burden, so the rule waived the public notice and comment period. The new rule takes effect on May 12, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Commerce Department is moving some rules about a small business form from a big book that everyone can see to a smaller book just for them, so they can make changes faster without bothering others.
