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.

Abstract: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense

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.
