it is necessary that the contractor notify the Government in writing as 
soon as possible. This will permit the Government to evaluate the 
alleged change and (1) confirm that it is a change, direct the mode of 
further performance, and plan for its funding; (2) countermand the 
alleged change; or (3) notify the contractor that no change is 
considered to have occurred.
    (b) The clause at 52.243-7, Notification of Changes, which is 
prescribed in 43.107, (1) incorporates the policy expressed in paragraph 
(a) above; (2) requires the contractor to notify the Government promptly 
of any Government conduct that the contractor considers a change to the 
contract, and (3) specifies the responsibilities of the contractor and 
the Government with respect to such notifications.
