SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 3, 2013, the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) published a rule proposing to make changes to conform to
the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This proposed revision would
have updated, clarified and streamlined text in certain DOE
intellectual property and technology transfer clauses in order to
benefit from DOE's experience under the existing clauses, and, where
necessary, make these DOE clauses consistent with recent changes to the
FAR. However, the Department has determined that it will not proceed
with the rulemaking and, as such, is withdrawing the proposed rule. The
changes that were proposed in this rulemaking will be incorporated into
a larger rulemaking that will update the entire Department of Energy
Acquisition Regulation (DEAR).
Signed in Washington, DC, on March 26, 2019.
John Bashista,
Director, Office of Acquisition Management, Department of Energy.
