OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


Certifications Contained in Procurement Rules

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Section 4301 of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act, Pub. 
L. 104-106, provides for the review, and removal, after appropriate 
determinations are made, of non-statutory certifications contained in 
agency procurement rules. Upon review, the Director of OMB has 
determined that the regulations of the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) 
Board include such non-statutory certifications. Accordingly, the 
Director has referred the matter to the CAS Board for an appropriate 
determination and regulatory action, if necessary, pursuant to the 
Board's rulemaking authorities conferred under 41 U.S.C. 422. The CAS 
Board will review those non-statutory certifications contained in its 
rules in order to determine whether such certifications should be 
removed or amended.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard C. Loeb, Executive Secretary, 
Cost Accounting Standards Board (telephone: 202-395-3254).
Franklin D. Raines,
Director, Office of Management and Budget.
