## Abstract

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) have agreed on a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require that, when conditionally accepting nonconforming items, amounts withheld from payments should be at least sufficient to cover the cost and related profit to correct deficiencies and complete unfinished work; and that the contracting officer must document the basis for the amounts withheld in the contract file.
