SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a direct final rule published on May 15,
1998 (63 FR 26993-26996), we notified the public of our intent to make
a number of clerical or procedural amendments to the AGAR. We intended
to amend the AGAR to reflect changes in the Federal Acquisition
Regulation through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-01 and to correct
minor errors and omissions in the reissuance of the AGAR published on
October 15, 1996 (61 FR 53645-53677).
We solicited comments concerning the direct final rule for a 30 day
comment period ending June 15, 1998. We stated that the effective date
of the proposed amendment would be July 14, 1998, unless we received
adverse comments or notice of intent to submit adverse comments by the
close of the comment period.
We received neither adverse comments nor notice of intent to submit
adverse comments by June 15, 1998. Therefore, the direct final rule is
effective on July 14, 1998, as scheduled.
