DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

48 CFR Chapter 2


Notice of Public Meeting; Utilities Privatization

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, and 
the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, Installations and Environment, 
are co-sponsoring a public meeting to discuss potential deviations to 
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 (Contract Cost Principles 
and Procedures) for contracts awarded under the statutory authority at 
10 U.S.C. 2688 (Utility systems; conveyance authority). Under the 
Department of Defense Utilities Privatization Program, by September 
2005, the Department will complete a privatization evaluation of each 
utility system at every Active Duty, Reserve, and Guard installation, 
within the United States and overseas, that is not designated for 
closure under a base closure law. The co-sponsors of the meeting would 
like to hear the views of interested parties regarding which 
provisions, if any, of FAR part 31 are significantly problematic for 
utility contractors and the reasons why.

DATES: The meeting will be held on July 21, 2003, from 9 a.m. to 5 
p.m., local time.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in Room C-43, Crystal Mall 3, 1931 
Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Capitano, Office of the 
Director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, by telephone at 
703-847-7486 or by e-mail at [email protected].
