§ 13-1.007-1 General plan.

The Department of Commerce Procurement Regulations (COMPR) employ the same numbering system and nomenclature as the Federal Procurement Regulations and conform with FEDERAL REGISTER Standards approved for the FPR.

§ 13-1.007-2 Numbering.

(a) This Chapter 13 has been allocated to the Department of Commerce for implementing, supplementing and deviating from Chapter 1 of this title 41 CFR, the Federal Procurement Regulations.

(b) Where the COMPR implements (or deviates from) a part, subpart, section, or subsection of the FPR, the implementing part, subpart, section, or subsection of COMPR will be numbered (and captioned) to correspond to the part, subpart, section, or subsection of Chapter 1, of this Title 41, CFR, the FPR.

(c) Where the subject matter contained in a part, subpart, section, or subsection of FPR requires no implementation, the COMPR will contain no corresponding part, subpart, section, or subsection number and the subject matter as published in the FPR governs.

(d) COMPR's which supplement the FPR will be assigned an appropriate number and title different from any assigned to an FPR.

§ 13-1.007-3 Citation.

Department of Commerce Procurement Regulations will be cited in accordance with FEDERAL REGISTER Standards approved for the FPR.

When this section is referred to formally in official documents, such as legal briefs, it should be cited as "41 CFR 13-1.007-3." Any section of Department of Commerce Procurement Regulations may be informally identified, for purposes of brevity, as COMPR followed by the section number, "COMPR 13-1.1007-3."

Deviations from the FPR and COMPR shall be kept to a minimum and controlled as follows:

(a) Deviations in both individual cases and classes of cases must be approved in advance by the Office of Administrative Services. Requests for approval of such deviations may be initiated by the heads of primary operating units or by the heads of their procuring activities. They shall be submitted to the Office of Administrative Services. Requests shall cite the specific parts of the FPR or COMPR from which it is desired to deviate, shall set forth the nature of the deviations, and shall give the reasons for the action requested.

(b) If a requested deviation is considered appropriate, approval will be accomplished as follows:

(1) Where the deviation applies to an individual case, approval will be granted by memorandum addressed to the requesting officer with copies to interested offices. The contract file of the requesting office shall include a copy of the request and approval.

(2) Where the deviation applies to a class of cases, necessary coordination with the General Services Administration will be accomplished by the Office of Administrative Services. Such class deviations will be issued as a part of COMPR.

(3) Where circumstances preclude the obtaining of prior concurrence of the GSA, to a class of cases, the Office of Administrative Services may authorize a deviation. In such an instance, the Office of Administrative Services shall inform the GSA of the deviation and circumstances under which it was required.

(c) The requesting office will be notified by memorandum, with copies to other interested offices, whenever a requested deviation is disapproved.

(d) In emergency situations involving individual cases, deviation approvals may be processed by telephone and later confirmed in writing.

(e) Requests for deviations may be made at any time. New FPR issuances should be reviewed upon receipt, so that requests for deviations can be acted upon prior to the effective date, whenever practicable.
