## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing this rule to amend the EPA Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR) (48 CFR Chapter 15) to emphasize the proper relationship between the Government and its contractors in its non-personal services contracts. The Agency recognizes that regardless of the express terms of its contracts, if a contract is administered improperly, an improper personal services relationship can be the result. This rule is designed to ensure that the manner in which contracts are administered will not create an improper employer-employee relationship.
