cost accounting practices or a failure by the contractor or subcon-
tractor to comply with applicable cost accounting standards. 
(g) NONAPPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN SECTIONS OF TITLE 5.—Functions 
exercised under this chapter are not subject to sections 551, 553 to 559, 
and 701 to 706 of title 5. 
§ 1503. Contract price adjustment 
(a) DISAGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A DISPUTE.—If the Federal Govern-
ment and a contractor or subcontractor fail to agree on a contract price ad-
justment, including whether the contractor or subcontractor has complied 
with the applicable cost accounting standards, the disagreement will con-
stitute a dispute under chapter 71 of this title. 
(b) AMOUNT OF ADJUSTMENT.—A contract price adjustment undertaken 
under section 1502(f)(2) of this title shall be made, where applicable, on 
relevant contracts between the Federal Government and the contractor that 
are subject to the cost accounting standards so as to protect the Federal 
Government from payment, in the aggregate, of increased costs, as defined 
by the Cost Accounting Standards Board. The Federal Government may not 
recover costs greater than the aggregate increased cost to the Federal Gov-
ernment, as defined by the Board, on the relevant contracts subject to the 
price adjustment unless the contractor made a change in its cost accounting 
practices of which it was aware or should have been aware at the time of 
the price negotiation and which it failed to disclose to the Federal Govern-
ment. 
(c) INTEREST.—The interest rate applicable to a contract price adjust-
ment is the annual rate of interest established under section 6621 of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 6621) for the period. Interest 
accrues from the time payments of the increased costs were made to the 
contractor or subcontractor to the time the Federal Government receives full 
compensation for the price adjustment. 
§ 1504. Effect on other standards and regulations 
(a) PREVIOUSLY EXISTING STANDARDS.—All cost accounting standards, 
waivers, exemptions, interpretations, modifications, rules, and regulations 
prescribed by the Cost Accounting Standards Board under section 719 of 
the Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. App. 2168)— 
(1) remain in effect until amended, superseded, or rescinded by the 
Board under this chapter; and 
(2) are subject to the provisions of this division in the same manner 
as if prescribed by the Board under this division. 
(b) INCONSISTENT AGENCY REGULATIONS.—To ensure that a regulation 
or proposed regulation of an executive agency is not inconsistent with a cost 
accounting standard prescribed or amended under this chapter, the Admin-

(1) Camp Security is believed to be the only un-
disturbed prisoner-of-war camp from the Revolu-
tionary War remaining in the United States. 
(2) Built at the direction of the Continental 
Congress, Camp Security housed over 1,000 British 
prisoners of war between 1781 and 1783.

oned at Camp Security were captured as a result of 
the Continental Army’s pivotal victories at the Bat-
tles of Saratoga and Yorktown. 
(4) Large portions of Camp Security were built 
along a steep hill using terraces, a unique architec-
tural and earthwork feature. 
(5) Upon the 1783 adoption of the Treaty of 
Paris, Camp Security was closed and those prisoners 
who did not marry local women and settle in the 
area returned to their families in Great Britain.
