Relation to Federal Procurement Regulations System.

The Federal Procurement Regulations System is designed to bring together, under Title 41, Subtitle A of the Code of Federal Regulations, the procurement regulations applicable to all civilian agencies of the Government. Federal Procurement Regulations (FPR) are Chapter 1. Chapter 2 is assigned for the procurement regulations of the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA). Chapters 3 through 49 will be used by other agencies. FPR (Chapter 1) is subdivided into 49 parts. Parts 1 through 49 of FAPR (Chapter 2) will be used to expand upon or modify the policies and procedures included in FPR. Material issued in the first 49 parts of FAPR will be numerically keyed to the corresponding sections of FPR. Parts 50 through 99 of FAPR will be used for procurement policies and procedures for which there is no counterpart in FPR. The numbering system established by § 1-1.007-2 of this title will be utilized to the maximum practicable extent in FAPR.

FAPR will be published in loose-leaf form for distribution within the Federal Aviation Agency to procurement offices and others concerned. Requests to be placed on the distribution lists, or for extra copies, should be addressed to the Administrative Services Division, Office of Management Services, Attn: Requirements and Distribution.

§ 2-1.006-3 Public.

Those parts of FAPR which contain basic and significant policies and procedures considered to be of interest to the general public will be published in the daily issue of the FEDERAL REGISTER and, in cumulated form, in the Code of Federal Regulations. The Procurement Division, Installation and Materiel Service, is responsible for determining what material shall be published, and for preparing submissions for publication. Copies of FAPR in FEDERAL REGISTER and Code of Federal Regulations form may be purchased by the public, at nominal cost, from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C.

§ 2-1.006-4 FAPR Notices.

FAPR in loose-leaf form will be transImitted to the addressees of the distribution list by means of FAPR Notices. These notices will also be used to promulgate temporary, interim, and emergency procurement instructions.

Any section of FAPR may be informally identified in internal instructions or correspondence by "FAPR" followed by the section number. Only those sections of the regulations which have been published in the FEDERAL REGISTER may properly be incorporated in contracts by reference. Such sections should be cited as "41 CFR" followed by the section number, as "41 CFR 2-1.007-1". § 2-1.008 Agency implementation.
