Acting Deputy Director

Dear Mr. Malanick:
The proposed Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP)
Regulation No. 1 establishes a Federal Procurement Regula-
tory System applicable to the executive agencies. Section 5.a.
of the regulation provides that the Armed Services Procure-
ment Regulation (ASPR) shall be applicable to the Department
of Defense and to the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-
tration (NASA), and that the Federal Procurement Regulations
(FPR) shall be applicable, except for NASA, to the civilian
executive agencies, and, in certain authorized areas, to all
executive agencies.
Your letter of August 12, 1976, sets forth a detailed justi- 0{
fication for, and explanation of, your agency's longstanding t=~~
practice of following the ASPR -- to the maximum extent
practicable consistent with your statutory responsibilities
and agency programs -- and requests an exemption from the
above requirements so as to continue that practice.
Based upon the justification contained in your letter, the
Central Intelligence Agency is hereby exempted from the
applicability requirements of Section 5.a., of OFPP Regula-
tion No. 1, and may follow the ASPR -- to the maximum.
practicable extent -- instead of the FPR, except in those
areas where the FPR is applicable to all executive agencies.
,Sincerely,
ugh E Witt
