DoD, GSA, and NASA are withdrawing the proposed rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) titled:  Extension of Limitations on Contractor Employee Personal Conflicts of Interest.  The decision not to proceed with a final rule was made on the basis that the requirements of the underlying statute that directed consideration of a FAR change have been met.  Accordingly, this proposed rule is withdrawn and the FAR case is closed.

DoD, GSA, and NASA issued a proposed rule on April 2, 2014 to amend the FAR to implement a section of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 to extend the limitations on contractor employee personal conflicts of interest to apply to the performance of all functions that are closely associated with inherently governmental functions and contracts for personal services. This case is included in the FAR retrospective review of existing regulations under Executive Order 13563. Additional information is located in the FAR final plan (2016), available at: https://www.acquisition.gov/.
