Contractor Responsibility, Labor Relations Costs, and Costs 
Relating to Legal and Other Procedures (FAR Case 1999-010)

    The FAR Council has determined that the 30-day effective date did 
not give Federal contractors and the Federal Government sufficient time 
to meet the new obligations and responsibilities imposed by the 
December 20, 2000, final rule. Therefore, the FAR Council has decided 
to stay the effective date of the final rule. During the stay, the FAR 
text is restored to the text as it existed before January 19, 2001.

    Dated: March 29, 2001.
Al Matera,
Director, Acquisition Policy Division.
