## 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 inform offerors under construction solicitations that the Government may reject bids as nonresponsive if the prices are materially unbalanced. The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register at 56 FR 29539, June 27, 1991. 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.
