    The Department is reopening the comment period and extending the

    forth proposed policies and procedures intended to promote economy and 
    efficiency in Federal procurement by granting qualified large

    guidelines are proposed in accordance with the President's Executive 
    Order 13005 entitled, ``Empowerment Contracting.'' The standards set 
    forth in the proposed guidelines will serve as the basis for a proposed 
    revision to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Information 
    obtained from public comment on the guidelines will be used to help 
    draft the proposed FAR revision.
