INTRODUCTION
• Many Government bodies participate in the
development of FAR Policy.
• Knowing the players and their roles is key.
• This presentation covers the core
government players and processes.
• The role and approaches of specific Federal
agencies will be discussed in later
installments of this series.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?
• Before the FAR, there were two primary procurement regulations:
• Federal Procurement Regulations (FPR) -- for civilian agencies
• Defense Acquisition Regulation (DAR) – for the DoD and its components
• Other agencies and federal bodies had their own “semiautonomous procurement regulations”
• e.g., CIA, NASA, Tennessee Valley Authority, Bonneville Power Administration
• In a 1972 report on the proliferation of procurement regulations, the Commission on Government
Procurement found “a burdensome mass and maze of procurement and procurement-related
regulations” within the federal government, and “no effective overall system for coordinating,
controlling, and standardizing regulations.”
• Ultimately, OFPP Policy Letter 80-5, which effectively established the “Federal Acquisition
Regulation System” and stated that the system would include, among other things, a single Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), to be issued jointly by the GSA, DoD, and NASA.

PROMULGATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE FAR, IN GENERAL
• The FAR was initially promulgated and has been subsequently amended using the same rulemaking
procedures used in developing other regulations.
• The “notice and comment” procedures established by the Administrative Procedures Act (APA)
generally require agencies to follow four basic steps:
• the publication of a proposed rule in the Federal Register;
• the opportunity for interested persons to submit comments on the proposed rule;
• publication of a final rule that includes a “concise general statement” of the “basis and purpose”
of the rule; and
• a 30-day waiting period after the final rule is published in the Federal Register before the rule
can take effect.
• Federal Register notices proposing or announcing amendments to the FAR are jointly issued by the
GSA, DoD, and NASA, but they are the result of a coordinated effort.
