Policy Letter 11-01, Performance of Inherently Governmental and 
Critical Functions

AGENCY: Office of Federal Procurement Policy, Office of Management and 
Budget.

ACTION: Notice; correction to final policy letter.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) in the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) is making a correction to the Final 
Policy Letter ``Performance of Inherently Governmental and Critical 
Functions'' (76 FR 56227-56242, September 12, 2011) to clarify that the 
Policy Letter applies to both Civilian and Defense Executive Branch 
Departments and Agencies. The original publication of the policy letter 
was inadvertently addressed only to the Heads of The Civilian Executive 
Departments and Agencies. Also, OFPP has corrected the citation for 
additional guidance about conduct of Federally Funded Research and 
Development Centers (FFRDCs), because the original notice referenced an 
incorrect Part of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The corrections 
below should be used in place of text previously published in the 
September 12, 2011 notice. All other information from the published 
Final Policy remains unchanged. The full text of the original notice is 
available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-09-12/pdf/2011-23165.pdf.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mathew Blum, OFPP, (202) 395-4953 or 
[email protected], or Jennifer Swartz, OFPP, (202) 395-6811 or 
[email protected].
