Board of Contract Appeals; Contract Appeals
The Department of Energy is proposing to amend its regulations concerning proceedings and functions of the Board of Contract Appeals. This action is necessary to update the rules and to reorganize and supplement the existing rules to provide the public with a better understanding of the Board and its functions. The proposed rules would add an overview of the Board's organization, authorities, and various functions, enunciate longstanding policies favoring the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and confirm the Board's authority to engage in ADR and to provide an array of ADR neutral services, modify the Rules of Practice for Contract Disputes Act (CDA) appeals to implement changes made to the CDA by the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA), and remove unnecessary and obsolete rules related to the Board's non-CDA appeals and Contract Adjustment Board functions.
