Abstract: An interim rule for this case was published December 30,

longer needed because of revisions made in FAR case 93-310, North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act, which was
published as an interim rule on January 5, 1994 (59 FR 544). Due to the
implementation of NAFTA, the U.S.-Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA)
has been suspended so long as NAFTA remains in effect. Accordingly, FAR
case 88-70 was closed into FAR case 93-310 and the decision has been
made to withdraw the CFTA associated rule.

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: These revisions to 44.302(a) and 52.244-2 are a result of
recommendations submitted in response to the FARC's request for
industry's views and are as follows: (1) The threshold for performing
CPSR's was raised from $10 million to $25 million to recognize the
effects of inflation on this threshold. The raised threshold will
reduce the administrative burden on both the contractor and Government
by reducing the number of reviews. (2) The $10,000 threshold in the
clause was raised to $25,000 for notification to the contracting
officer on proposed subcontracts involving fabrication, purchase,
rental, installation, or other acquisition of special test equipment or
any items of facilities to recognize increased cost of equipment and
effects of inflation. (3) We also raised the threshold at 52.244-
2(b)(1) requiring additional information on certain subcontracts from
$10,000 to $25,000. This increase recognizes rising hourly wage rates
and contract costs.

those contained in any bona fide collective bargaining agreement
entered into under the predecessor contract is self-executing. The
requirement is not contingent upon incorporating a wage determination
or the wage and fringe benefit terms of the predecessor contractor's
collective bargaining agreement in the successor contract. However, the
contracting officer shall incorporate the wage and fringe benefit terms
of the collective bargaining agreement itself in contract solicitations
