## 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 implement Section 5202 of the Information Technology Management Reform Act (ITMRA) of 1996, which encourages maximum practicable use of modular contracting in acquiring information technology. ITMRA is part of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-106). 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.
