Acquisition Regulation; Project Control System

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Withdrawal of Proposed Rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: DOE is hereby withdrawing a proposal to amend the Department 
of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR). The proposed change would have 
revised coverage addressing the use of contractor project control 
systems. Subsequent to release of the notice of proposed rulemaking, 
the Department decided to further revise its policies for applying 
control systems to the management of contractor projects. At this time, 
the control system policies are continuing to be defined, and no final 
rulemaking can be implemented until the program requirements are 
finalized, at which time, a new notice of proposed rulemaking will be 
published.

I. Background

    Amendments to 48 CFR Parts 912, 952 and 970 were announced in a 
notice of proposed rulemaking in the February 8, 1994, Federal Register 
(59 FR 5751). DOE invited interested persons to participate in this

sufficiently clear. The Department will consider these comments in the 
development of any future rulemaking.
