4. Reinstates DFARS subpart 211.70 and section 211.7001, which points to procedures provided in DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) 211.7001.
5. DFARS 212.207(b)(i), adds a missing parenthesis.
6. DFARS 216.402-2(2)(ii), corrects a typographical error in the electronic Code of Federal Regulations.
7. DFARS 225.7700(e), corrects a typographical error in a statutory section reference.
