Abstract
The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (the Councils) have agreed to adopt the interim rules published in the Federal Register at 63 FR 35719, June 30, 1998; 63 FR 36120, July 1, 1998; 63 FR 52426, September 30, 1998; and 63 FR 71721, December 29, 1998, as final rules with changes. These amendments conform to a Department of Justice (DoJ) model for reform of affirmative action in Federal procurement. DoJ's proposal is designed to ensure compliance with the constitutional standards established by the Supreme Court in Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena, 115 S. Ct. 2097 (1995).
