[DFARS Case 97-D011]
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Distribution
of Contract Financing Payments
AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DoD is withdrawing a proposed rule published on November 26,
1997 (62 FR 63047). The rule proposed amendments to the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to specify that, when a
contract contains multiple accounting classification reference numbers
and a clause for progress payments, the contracting officer must
provide instructions to enable the payment office to distribute the
progress payments in proportions that reasonably reflect the
performance of work under the contract. After review of public
comments, and in consultation with the Office of the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller), the Director of Defense Procurement issued a
policy memorandum, dated August 12, 1998, which is available via the
Internet at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dp/. The memorandum requires
contracting officers to provide progress payment distribution
instructions for any fixed-price contract, other than firm-fixed-price,
that is funded with multiple appropriations. Consequently, DoD has
determined that the proposed DFARS revisions are unnecessary.
