            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 1_FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart 1.4_Deviations from the FAR
 
Sec.  1.402  Policy.

    Unless precluded by law, executive order, or regulation, deviations 
from the FAR may be granted as specified in this subpart when necessary 
to meet the specific needs and requirements of each agency. The 
development and testing of new techniques and methods of acquisition 
should not be stifled simply because such action would require a FAR 
deviation. The fact that deviation authority is required should not, of 
itself, deter agencies in their development and testing of new 
techniques and acquisition methods. Refer to 31.101 for instructions 
concerning deviations pertaining to the subject matter of part 31, 
Contract Cost Principles and Procedures. Deviations are not authorized 
with respect to 30.201-3 and 30.201-4, or the requirements of the Cost 
Accounting Standards Board (CASB) rules and regulations (48 CFR Chapter 
99 (FAR Appendix)). Refer to 30.201-5 for instructions concerning 
waivers pertaining to Cost Accounting Standards.
