## Abstract

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement Section 801 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106), which amended 10 U.S.C. 2207, generally referred to as the Gratuities Act, to make it applicable only to contracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. 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.
