## Abstract

EPA is taking direct final action on amending the EPA Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR) to comport with changes made to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 97-15 dated December 27, 1999 (FAR Case 98-017). The changes to the FAR were made to implement the rulings of the United States Court of Appeals and the United States Court of Federal Claims that the Contracts Disputes Act applies to all disputes arising under Government contracts, unless a more specific statute provides for other remedies.
