in the issue of Friday, July 26, 1996 (61 FR 39089).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 31, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
M/OP/P, Ms. Diane M. Howard, (703) 875-1310.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AIDAR Notice 96-1, Miscellaneous Amendments 
to Acquisition Regulations, published on July 26, 1996 (61 FR 39089), 
contained 59 amendments to the AID Acquisition Regulation (AIDAR). 
Several omissions from and errors in the Notice have been identified 
and require corrective action. The specific corrections to the Notice 
are:
    (1) The Preamble and section 702.170-13 are corrected to show the 
new Agency Procurement Executive.
    (2) Three amendments, numbers 15, 18 and 46, should have included 
language to reserve the section heading (in #15 for section 715.605), 
the Subpart heading (in #18 for Subpart 716.5) and the Part heading (in 
#46 for Part 737), respectively.
    (3) Amendment 26 redesignated section 722.103-70 as 722.103-1 which 
already existed with the title ``Definitions''. This part of the 
Amendment should have removed the heading ``722.103-70 Compensatory 
time off.'' and allowed the definition that followed this heading to 
fall under the existing 722.103-1. The entire instruction is corrected, 
even though the remaining instructions under this Amendment were right.
    (4) Section 726.302 was omitted from the chart in Amendment 37 and 
should have been redesignated as 726.7008, and the heading for subpart 
726.3 should be removed; further, several references in section 
706.302-71 require correction due to the redesignations of 726.101 to 
726.7002 and 726.103 to 726.7004.
    (5) FAC 90-40 was published on the same day as AIDAR Notice 96-1 
and contained changes to FAR 33.103 which in turn rendered incorrect 
references in Amendment 43, which revised new sections 733.103-71 and 
733.103-72.
    (6) Amendment 44 incorrectly redesignated sections 733.7101 and 
733.7102 as 733.2701 and 733.2702, respectively; the correct 
redesignations should be 733.270-1 and 733.270-2, respectively.
    (7) Amendment 58 incorrectly removed ``living quarters allowance''. 
The phrase that should have been removed was ``temporary lodging 
allowance'', since this is the term that ``temporary quarters 
subsistence allowance'' replaced in the Standardized Regulations 
(Government Civilians, Foreign Areas) upon which these allowances are 
based.
