    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.
