## Abstract

The Department today amends the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) to revise its fee policies and related procedures for management and operating contracts and other designated contracts. The final rule implements a fee policy that ensures that fees: are reasonable and commensurate with performance, business and cost risks; create and implement tailored incentives for performance- based management contracts; are structured to attract best business partners; and afford flexibility to provide incentives to contractors to perform better at less cost.
