The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to amend its Acquisition Regulation to streamline the policies, procedures, provisions and clauses that are applicable to its management and operating contracts. This rulemaking proposes to eliminate coverage that is obsolete or which duplicates the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and retain only that coverage which either implements or supplements the FAR for the award and administration of the Department's management and operating contracts. The rule also proposes the addition of four new clauses, and amendments to several existing clauses which will promote more uniform application of the Department's award and administration policies for management and operating contracts.
