48 CFR Parts 19 and 52

[FAC 2001-01; FAR Case 2000-302; Correction]


Federal Acquisition Regulation; Veterans Entrepreneurship and 
Small Business Development Act of 1999

AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration 
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense 
Acquisition Regulations Council are issuing amendments to FAC 2001-01, 
FAR Case 2000-302, Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business 
Development Act of 1999 published in the Federal Register at 66 FR 
53492, October 22, 2001, to correct the language concerning the 
separate goal for service-disabled veteran-owned small business 
concerns. Language was added in FAC 97-20 that service-disabled 
veteran-owned small business concerns were to be included in the goal 
for veteran-owned small businesses. This was based on a statutory 
change. A further statutory change established a goal for service-
disabled veteran-owned small business concerns that is separate from 
the goal for veteran-owned small business concerns. This statute was 
implemented in FAC 2001-01 but, inadvertently, some of the FAC 97-20 
language intended for deletion did not appear in the published case.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 14, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Rhonda Cundiff at (202) 501-0044 
in reference to this FAR case. For general information, contact the FAR 
Secretariat, Room 4035, GS Building, Washington, DC 20405, (202) 501-
4755. Please cite FAC 2001-01, FAR case 2000-302, Correction.

    Dated: January 10, 2002.
Gloria M. Sochon,
Director, Acquisition Policy Division.
