Technical Amendments to Acquisition Regulation: Removal of Certification Requirements Regarding Collection, Use, Access, Treatment, and Disclosure of Confidential Business Information (CBI): Correction of Effective Date Under the Congressional Review Act (CRA)

On July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38476), the Environmental Protection Agency published in the Federal Register a final rule concerning the EPA Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR) to remove certification requirements regarding the collection, use, access, treatment, and disclosure of confidential business information (CBI) which are not specifically imposed by statute, and to amend CBI clauses to remove such certification requirements, which established an effective date of August 18, 1997. This document is to correct the effective date of the rule to December 30, 1997 to be consistent with sections 801 and 808 of the Congressional Review Act (CRA), enacted as part of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
