_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: This agenda provides summary descriptions of regulations being 
developed by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense 
Acquisition Regulations Council in compliance with Executive Order 
12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' This agenda is being 
published to allow interested persons an opportunity to participate in 
the rulemaking process.

     The Regulatory and Federal Assistance Publication Division has 
attempted to list all regulations pending at the time of 
publication, except for minor and routine or repetitive actions; 
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.

     Published proposed rules may be reviewed in their entirety at 
the Government's rulemaking Web site at http://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Laurieann Duarte, Regulatory and 
Federal Assistance Division, Room 4035, 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 through 
periodic issuance of changes published in the Federal Register and 
produced electronically as Federal Acquisition Circulars (FACs).

     The electronic version of the FAR, including changes, can be 
accessed on the FAR Web site at http://www.acqnet.gov/FAR.

Legal Authority: 40 USC 121(c); 10 USC ch 137; 42 USC 2473(c)

CFR Citation: 48 CFR 1 to 2; 48 CFR 4 to 9; 48 CFR 12 to 13; 48 CFR 15

32; 48 CFR 36; 48 CFR 42; 48 CFR 48; 48 CFR 49 to 50; 48 CFR 52 to 53

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to 
adjust acquisition-related thresholds for inflation. Section 807 of the 
Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2005 (Pub. L. 108-375) requires that the FAR Council periodically 
adjust all statutory acquisition-related dollar thresholds in the FAR 
for inflation, except the statute does not permit escalation of 
acquisition-related dollar thresholds established by the Davis-Bacon 
Act, the Service Contract Act, or trade agreements. This rule also 
proposes to amend other acquisition-related thresholds that are based 
on policy rather than statute. Inflation adjustment of Cost Accounting 
Standards (CAS) thresholds in the CAS regulations is simultaneously 
addressed in a separate case.
This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and 
Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. 
This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
