however, unanticipated requirements may result in the issuance of 
regulations that are not included in this agenda. There is no legal 
significance to the omission of an item from this listing. Also, 
the dates shown for the steps of each action are estimated and are 
not commitments to act on or by the dates shown.

Room 4037, GS Building, Washington, DC 20405, (202) 501-4755.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD, GSA, and NASA, under their several 
statutory authorities, jointly issue and maintain the FAR and prescribe

of Federal Acquisition Circulars (FACs).

Dated: March 22, 1995.

Abstract: An interim rule for this case was published December 30, 
1988, and remains in effect. Notwithstanding, this interim rule is no 
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.

CFR Citation:  48 CFR 44.302(a); 48 CFR 52.244-2(a)(4); 48 CFR 52.244-

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.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense 
Acquisition Regulations Council are proposing changes concerning 
termination of contracts to preclude excessive delays in processing 
terminations for the convenience of the Government. The proposed change 
will require contractors to prepare and submit termination inventory 
schedules within 120 days from the effective date of termination, 
unless otherwise extended by the Termination Contracting Officer (TCO). 
This will enable the TCO to initiate early inventory screening and 
final disposition, thereby substantially reducing the time required to 
achieve termination settlement.

Abstract: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense

the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The cost principle criteria

interdivisional transfers at price rather than cost under criteria that 
more closely approximate those applied to subcontracts eligible for 
exemption or waiver of cost or pricing data. This regulatory action was 
not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive 
Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.

Legal Authority:  PL 103-355

CFR Citation:  48 CFR 3.102-1; 48 CFR 3.102-2; 48 CFR 52.203-1

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory.

Abstract: This proposed rule is issued pursuant to the Federal 
Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994. Section 6004 of Public Law 103-
355 amended 41 USC 22 by repealing the requirement that ``every 
contract or agreement'' shall express the condition that certain 
officials shall not benefit from the award of that contract or 
agreement. The Government has expressed that condition in the form of 
FAR clause [[Page 24238]] 52.203-1. Since there is no longer a 
statutory requirement to include such a clause in Government contracts, 
the FAR Council has deleted the clause. The importance of 41 USC 22 
(and its enforcement mechanisms--18 USC 431 and 432) will continue to 
be highlighted to the contracting community by articulating the policy 
in FAR 3.102-1.
