## 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 Section 821 of the Fiscal Year 1997 Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 104-201). Section 821 prohibits, with certain exceptions, Government release of competitive proposals under the Freedom of Information Act. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. This is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
