DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary


Notice of Intent To Use the Central Contractor Registration 
System

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has partnered with 
the Joint Electronic Commerce Program Office (JECPO) of the U.S. 
Department of Defense (DOD) to use the Central Contractor Registration 
(CCR) system to obtain financial electronic funds transfer (EFT) 
information. EFT information is inputted and maintained by contractors 
using DOD's web-based CCR program (www.ccr2000.com), which currently 
has information on over 160,000 contractors.

DATES: Effective January 1, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Direct questions on DOT's use of CCR 
to Susan Abrams at (202) 366-9650 or Lesley Field at (202) 366-4960. 
Submit questions on the CCR system via e-mail to the JECPO office at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All DOT contracts will contain (FAR) 48 CFR 
52.232-33, Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer--Central Contractor 
Registration in lieu of (FAR) 48 CFR 52.232-34, Payment by Electronic 
Funds Transfer--Other than Central Contractor Registration and 52.232-
35, Designation of Office for Government Receipt of Electronic Funds 
Transfer Information. This means contractors receiving payments under 
DOT contracts, purchase orders, delivery orders, or other contractual 
vehicles must be registered in the CCR. The EFT information in the CCR 
must be accurate in order for contractors' invoices or contract 
financing requests to be considered proper invoices for the purpose of 
prompt payment under DOT contracts. Current and prospective contractors 
are encouraged to register in the CCR without delay. By registering, 
the paperwork burden imposed by (FAR) 48 CFR 52.232-34 and (FAR) 48 CFR 
52.232-35 will no longer exist. In lieu thereof, contractors will 
update their EFT information electronically through the CCR.

Senior Procurement Executive.
