Abstract: This final rule amends the FAR to remove the requirement for

This will enable the TCO to initiate early inventory screening and 
final disposition, thereby substantially reducing the time required to

Abstract: This proposed rule amended the FAR guidance on competitive 
range determinations. This regulatory action was not subject to Office 
of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated 
September 30, 1993.
Due to the establishment of FAR Case 96-303, Competitive Range 
Determinations, which contributes towards the implementation of the 
Federal Acquisition Reform Act of 1996, this proposed rule has been 
closed. FAR Case 96-303 concerns the allowability of contracting 
officers, in procurement involving competitive negotiations, to limit 
the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number 
that would permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated 
competitors. This proposed rule has not been published as of this date.
