The Civilian Agency Acquisition
Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils)
have agreed on an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition

Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the
Judiciary, the District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2006 (Pub. L. 109-115) and similar sections in
subsequent appropriations acts. Section 837 requires the head of
each Federal agency to submit a report to Congress relating to
acquisitions of articles, materials, or supplies that are
