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

SUMMARY: NASA hereby provides notice of the cancellation of three 
proposed procurement rules without further action. These rules were not 
finalized in a timely manner due to outside circumstances that 
prevented their completion. Inasmuch as NASA is now in process of a 
major NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) rewrite, any changes from the withdrawn 
rules that continue to be needed will be processed as a new action 
under the rewrite project.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leigh Pomponio, NASA, Office of 
Procurement, Contract Management Division (Suite 2P77), 300 E Street 
SW., Washington, DC 30546-0001; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background

    NASA published three proposed rules to make changes to the NASA 
Federal Acquisition Supplement (NFS). Public comments were received on 
all three rules. However, circumstances at the time prevented NASA from 
issuing final rules. The purpose of this Notice is to advise that the 
proposed rules are cancelled without further action. At this time, NASA 
is in process of a major NFS rewrite, and any changes proposed under 
the cancelled rules, that are still required, will be included in new 
proposed rules related to the NFS rewrite.
    The first cancelled proposed rule is identified by RIN 2700-AD38, 
Personal Identity Verification. It was published in the Federal 
Register at 73 FR 45679-45680. The second cancelled proposed rule is 
identified by RIN 2700-AD43, Release and Handling of Restricted 
Information. It was published in the Federal Register at 75 FR 9860-
9864. This proposed rule was also listed in the Regulatory Agenda as 
RIN 2700-AD57. The third cancelled proposed rule is identified by RIN 
2700-AD49, Protection of the Florida Manatee. It was published in the 
Federal Register at 73 FR 63420-63421.
