DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

48 CFR Part 225

[DFARS Case 99-D005]


Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Foreign 
Military Sales Customer Observation of Negotiations

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: DoD is withdrawing the proposed rule published at 64 FR 22825 
on April 28, 1999. The rule proposed to amend the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to allow Foreign Military 
Sales (FMS) customers to observe contract price negotiations. This 
change was proposed as a part of a DoD initiative to improve the FMS 
process. DoD has reconsidered this rule based on public comments. DoD 
is considering alternative methods of satisfying the pricing 
information needs of countries that acquire supplies and services 
through the FMS program. Therefore, DoD is withdrawing the proposed 
rule.
