[bull] FAR CASE 2002--018, CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 40 USC 486(c); 10 USC ch 137; 42 USC 2473(c) CFR Citation: 48 CFR 2; 48 CFR 4; 48 CFR 13; 48 CFR 32; 48 CFR 52 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: This rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require contractor registration in the Central Contractor Register (CCR) database prior to award of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement. In addition, the rule requires contracting officers to modify existing contracts whose period of performance extends beyond September 30, 2003, to require contractors to register in the CCR database by December 31, 2003. The rule also revises the source list of supplies at FAR 13.102 to reflect statutory changes in 15 U.S.C. 644(g). This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. The rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804. The Paperwork Reduction Act (Pub. L. 104--13) applies because the rule contains information collection requirements.
