## Abstract

The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council is amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to finalize the interim rules concerning simplified acquisition procedures and Federal Acquisition Computer Network (FACNET) requirements of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994. This rule also implements section 4302 of the Federal Acquisition Reform Act which deleted the requirement for attaining interim FACNET certification before simplified acquisition procedures could be used between $50,000 and $100,000. This is a significant rule within the meaning of Executive Order 12866; however, it is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
