Abstract
The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed to finalize without change the interim rule which was published at 59 FR 67036, December 28, 1994 (FAC 90-23, Item XIII), amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 19 to (1) extend the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program through September 30, 1996; (2) specify that agencies may reinstate the use of small business set-asides as necessary to meet assigned goals, but only within the organizational unit(s) that failed to meet the small business goals; and (3) revise the description of Architectual and Engineering services as a designated industry group. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
