Riepilogo

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 23 and 52 to implement Executive Order 12969. The Executive order requires that Federal agency contractors report in a public manner on toxic chemicals released to the environment. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
