SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the 
actual revisions and/or amendments made by these FAR cases, refer to 
the specific item numbers and subjects set forth in the documents 
following these item summaries. FAC 2005-73 amends the FAR as specified 
below:

Item I--Positive Law Codification of Title 41 (FAR Case 2011-018)

    This final rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to 
conform references throughout the FAR to the new Positive Law 
Codification of Title 41, United States Code, ``Public Contracts'' and 
other conforming changes. The new codification of Title 41 was enacted 
on January 4, 2011, under Public Law 111-350. Additionally, the rule 
completes the implementation of the recodification of Title 40. The 
codifications reorganized and renumbered the statutes, but did not 
change the meaning or legal effect.
    A table at FAR 1.110 provides the popular names of Acts, the 
present statutory citation, and the new titles of the statutes. For 
example the ``Service Contract Act of 1965'' is now the ``Service 
Contract Labor Standards statute''.
    The rule does not have a significant effect beyond the internal 
operating procedures of the Government, and consequently does not have 
a significant cost or administrative impact on entities either large or 
small.

Item II--Technical Amendments

    Editorial changes are made at FAR 9.105-2, 9.203, 11.201, 52.203-
17, 52.208-8, 52.211-2, and 52.212-1.

    Dated: April 11, 2014.

Acting Director, Office of Government-wide Acquisition Policy, Office
