Comment on FR Doc # E9-24586

I have taken a personal interest in reducing or prohibiting this type of excess overhead and profit mark-ups on Construction change orders since becoming an Air Force employee in 2001. My previous work experience indicated that AAFES (Army Air Force Exchange Service) and the State of Ohio had added contractual language to prohibit this kind of pass-thru costs for over 4 decades. However, our base procurement and legal would not consider adding this type of contractual language prohibiting excessive pass thru costs without the clear backing of a FAR rule or regulation. This common sense regulation has long been needed and I support it and trust that it will become a permanent part of the FAR.
