## Abstract

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement changes made to the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). The final rule applies to educational institutions receiving a negotiated Federal contract or subcontract award in excess of $500,000 (excluding contracts awarded for the operation of Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) which are already subject to CAS Board regulations), and requires that such educational institutions comply with certain specified CAS Board rules, regulations and standards. The revisions to the FAR are based on the CAS Board's amendments to 48 CFR Chapter 99. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. It is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
