SUMMARY: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has
decided not to implement the Agency Warrant Program for individual
Cooperating Country National Personal Services Contractors and is
therefore withdrawing the August 19, 2016 proposed rule amending the
Agency for International Development Acquisition Regulation (AIDAR) to
incorporate this warrant program into the regulation.

2016 (81 FR 55405) as of June 23, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 19, 2016 USAID published a
proposed rule at 81 FR 55405 revising the Agency for International
Development Acquisition Regulation (AIDAR) to incorporate USAID
Cooperating Country National Warrant Program into the regulation. The
warrant program was intended to address a shortage of U.S. direct-hire
contracting officers by delegating limited contracting officer
authorities to a select number of Cooperating Country National Personal
Services Contractors.
The purpose of this rule withdrawal is to inform the public that
USAID will not be publishing a final rule to implement this warrant
program.
Dated: June 6, 2017.
Mark Walther,
Acting Chief Acquisition Officer.
