Title: FAR Case 2008-025, Preventing Personal Conflicts of Interest for Contractor Employees Performing Acquisition Functions 
Abstract: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide regulatory coverage, including 52.203-16, Preventing Personal Conflicts of Interest, to implement policy on personal conflicts of interest by employees of Government contractors as required by section 841(a) of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Pub. L. 110-417). This rule does not address the issue of personal conflicts of interest by contractor employees with respect to other functions, or the issue of additional coverage addressing organizational conflicts of interest. Those issues, which were the subject of an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (see 73 FR 15961, March 26, 2008, and 73 FR 34600, June 17, 2008), will be addressed consistent with the requirements of section 841, which requires review by the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, to determine whether further revision to the FAR, and action by the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, is necessary. This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to Office of Management and Budget review under section 6 of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
