[FAC 90-23; FAR Case 92-9; Item XXXVII]
RIN 9000-AF76
Federal Acquisition Regulation; Revisions to Standard Forms 1414
and 1415
AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense
Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule to revise
Standard Form 1414, Consent of Surety, and Standard 1415, Consent of
Surety and Increase of Penalty, to accommodate consents by individual
sureties and to provide space for entry of dates of execution. This
regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget
review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 27, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Peter O'Such at (202) 501-1759 in
reference to this FAR case. For general information, contact the FAR
Secretariat, room 4037, GS Building, Washington, DC 20405 (202) 501-
4755. Please cite FAC 90-23, FAR Case 92-9.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Standard Form (SF) 1414 is used to obtain the consent of surety
when a contract is modified. SF 1415 is used when additional bond
coverage is required from the original surety. Changes to these forms
were determined to be necessary to accommodate consents by individual,
as well as corporate, sureties and to provide space to enter dates of
execution.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The final rule does not constitute a significant FAR revision
within the meaning of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98-577, and publication
for public comments is not required. Therefore, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act does not apply. However, comments from small entities
concerning the affected subpart will be considered in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 610. Such comments must be submitted separately and cite 5
U.S.C. 601, et seq. (FAC 90-23, FAR case 92-9), in correspondence.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to
the FAR do not impose recordkeeping or information collection
requirements, or collections of information from offerors, contractors,
or members of the public which require the approval of the Office of
Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
