FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Gerich, Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
OFPP
issued a notice of proposed rescission of these 22 Policy Letters
that was published in the Federal Register on September
15, 1999 (64 FR 50108). No comments were received in response to
the notice of proposed rescission.
As
indicated in the Supplementary Information section of that notice,
the rescission of these 22 Policy Letters reflects OFPP's conclusion
that the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as written, contains
the current policy. Any policy embodied in the Policy Letters rescinded
by this notice that is not reflected in the current FAR has been
either superseded by subsequent statutory changes or is otherwise
no longer necessary. Accordingly, OFPP Policy Letters 77-2, 78-2,
78-3, 78-4, 79-1, 79-2, 80-3, 80-6, 80-8, 81-1, 81-2, 82-1, 83-1,
83-2, 83-3, 84-1, 85-1, 89-1, 91-2, 91-4, 92-5, and 95-1 are hereby
rescinded. No substantive FAR change is required by this action.
Eleven
OFPP Policy Letters remain in effect. Copies of those Policy Letters
can be obtained at the ARNet world wide website,

Library/OFPP/PolicyLetters.
