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rescinded by this notice that is not reflected in the current FAR has
been either superseded by subsequent statutory changes or is otherwise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84-1, 85-1, 89-1, 91-2, 91-4, 92-5, and 95-1 are hereby rescinded.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, http://
www.arnet.gov/ Library/OFPP/PolicyLetters.
