Notice of Reissue of the Federal Acquisition Regulation

    The following information is for all interested users of the 
Federal Acquisition Regulation:

To: All Federal Departments and Agencies
From: Edward C. Loeb, Director, Federal Acquisition Policy Division
Subject: Procedure for Ordering the 1997 Edition of the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Through the Government Printing Office

    The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 1997 Reissue will be 
distributed in May 1997. A reissue is a revised basic publication, 
i.e., a new edition with old Federal Acquisition Circular numbers 
deleted and pages renumbered. The FAR will be dated to reflect the date 
of the reissuance, but the effective date of the overall FAR will 
remain April 1984.
    To obtain copies of the reissue, please have your printing office 
prepare a printing and binding requisition, Standard Form 1, and 
deliver to the Government Printing Office (GPO). Those agencies who do 
not submit their requirement by April 1, 1997, will not be permitted to 
order by rider requisition; agencies will have to purchase their 
requirements from the Superintendent of Documents.
    On your requisition, state Federal Acquisition Regulation, 1997 
Reissue, in two volumes. Your order will ride Program 493-S for GSA 
Requisition Number 7-89025, GPO Jacket Number 424-496. All production 
costs will be pro-rated to participating Federal departments and 
agencies. Bureaus, Commissions, and regional offices of agencies must 
submit requisitions through their headquarters office only. GPO will 
bill each agency directly in accordance with existing procedures. The 
cost is approximately $10 per set.
    Those agencies who do not submit their requirement by April 11, 
1997, will have to purchase their copies from the Superintendent of 
Documents at a significantly increased cost per copy. To avoid this 
additional cost, be sure your order is sufficient for all new requests. 
Keep in mind that, while each agency must determine its own needs, all 
contracting personnel must maintain a copy of the FAR.
    If you have any questions, please call the FAR Secretariat, at 
(202) 501-4755.

    Dated: March 13, 1997.
Jeremy F. Olson,
Acting Director, Federal Acquisition Policy Division.
