Federal Acquisition Regulation; Addition of Three New European Community Countries

概要

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed to a final rule to add Austria, Finland, and Sweden to the FAR definition of ``European Community (EC) Country'' and to the definition of ``sanctioned member state of the EC''. The United States Trade Representative has requested this action be taken as soon as possible because these countries have joined the EC on January 1, 1995. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.
