ACTION: Correction to final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to rule document 97-18603, 
AIDAR Notice 97-1, Miscellaneous Amendments to Acquisition Regulations, 
in the issue of Tuesday, July 29, 1997 (62 FR 40464).

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 28, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: M/OP/P, Ms. Diane M. Howard, (703) 
875-1533.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AIDAR Notice 97-1, Miscellaneous Amendments 
to Acquisition Regulations, was published as a Final Rule on July 29, 
1997 (62 FR 40464). Several omissions from and errors in the Rule have 
been identified and require corrective action. The specific corrections 
are:
    1. Amendments 2 and 6 intended to revise the acronym ``AID'' and 
``AID-direct'', respectively, to ``USAID'' and ``USAID-Direct''. 
However, in several places in the AIDAR, the acronym has periods 
between the letters, and this version of the acronym also needs to be 
changed to ``USAID''. The two amendments are corrected accordingly.
    2. Amendment 32 revised section 715.613-71, but the phrasing in 
paragraph (c) needs to be corrected by moving the first two words in 
(c)(1)(i) up to the end of the phrase in (c)(1) in order to have 
(c)(1)(ii) read properly.
    3. Amendment 59 added a new clause, 752.225-70, containing wording 
which needs to be corrected to prevent future ambiguities. The specific 
correction, in the last sentence of the section, will provide the 
Contracting Officer discretion to require a refund if restricted goods 
are purchased without his or her prior written approval.
    4. Several clauses in Part 752 of this chapter were added or 
revised to such extent that they require new dates; however, the date 
used was inaccurate and needs to be corrected to reflect either the 
actual month in which the Rule was published or the month in which the 
new clause was implemented (the new clauses at 752.225-70 and 752.225-
71 became effective when a deviation was approved in February 1997). 
The specific amendments (and clauses) are number 59 (752.225-70), 
number 60 (752.225-71), number 62 (752.226-2), number 67 (752.7001), 
number 68 (752.7004), number 72 (752.7015), and number 76 (752.7033).
