## Abstract

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to clarify the effective date of the $150.00 hourly cap on attorneys' fees imposed by Section 1403(b)(2) of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 (Public Law 103-355). The hourly cap on attorneys' fees applies only to those protests filed on or after October 1, 1995. 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.
