RIN 9000-AM69
Federal Acquisition Regulation: Extension of Limitations on
Contractor Employee Personal Conflicts of Interest
AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DoD, GSA, and NASA are withdrawing the proposed rule to amend
the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) titled: Extension of
Limitations on Contractor Employee Personal Conflicts of Interest. The
decision not to proceed with a final rule was made on the basis that
the requirements of the underlying statute that directed consideration
of a FAR change have been met. Accordingly, this proposed rule is
withdrawn, and the FAR case is closed.
DATES: The proposed rule published on April 2, 2014, at 79 FR 18503 is
withdrawn as of March 19, 2021.

2013-022''.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 2, 2014, DoD, GSA, and NASA
proposed to amend the FAR to implement a recommendation made by DoD
pursuant to section 829 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2013 (79 FR 18503). The proposed rule considered extending
the limitations at FAR subpart 3.11 on contractor employee personal
conflicts of interest to individuals performing any function that is
closely associated with inherently governmental functions and certain
individuals performing contracts for personal services.
A decision was made not to proceed with finalization of the
proposed rule. Because of the passage of time since the proposed rule
was issued in 2014, and the fact that section 829 did not require any
changes to the FAR, the FAR Council believes further consideration of
any amendments to the FAR related
[[Page 14863]]
to limitations on contractor employee personal conflicts of interest
should be accomplished under a new FAR case. Accordingly, the proposed
rule published at 79 FR 18503 on April 2, 2014, is withdrawn and FAR
Case 2013-022 is closed.
