Federal Acquisition Regulation; Certification Requirements; 
Public Meeting

AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration 
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy, in concert 
with the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, is sponsoring a 
meeting to solicit public comments on the implementation of Section 
4301(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 
(Pub. L. 104-106) (the Act). The Act requires the Administrator for 
Federal Procurement Policy to issue for public comment a proposal to 
amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to remove certification 
requirements for contractors and offerors that are not specifically 
imposed by statute. The Act provides the Administrator with authority 
to retain, under certain circumstances, certification requirements that 
are not specifically imposed by statute. The Administrator's proposal 
to implement the Act was published in the Federal Register on September 
12, 1996 (61 FR 48354). In an effort to obtain public input in the 
rulemaking process, the FAR Council is inviting interested parties to 
participate in a public meeting to provide comments on the 
Administrator's proposed rule.

DATES: A public meeting will be conducted at the address shown below 
from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., eastern daylight time, on October 9, 1996.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the White House 
Conference Center, Truman Room, 726 Jackson Place, NW, Washington, DC 
20503. Individuals who would like to participate or submit a formal 
statement shall, by October 2, 1996, notify: Defense Acquisition 
Regulations Council, Attn: Mr. Michael Mutty, PDUSD(A&T)DP(DAR), IMD 
3D139, 3062 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3062.
