Short Takes: DOD Amends ASBCA Rules
July 21, 2014
In March, we reported here on DOD’s proposed rule to amend the rules of the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA). DOD received comments from two respondents and issued its final rule effective July 21, 2014. DOD found most of the respondents’ proposed changes to be unnecessary, and thus the final rule is nearly identical to the proposed rule. Thus, the final rule, like the proposed rule, revises and reorders the Board’s rules for clarity and consistency and accounts for changes in technology, provides updated contact information, and adds to addendums: Equal Access to Justice Act Procedures and Alternative Methods of Dispute Resolution. The new rules and addendums are posted on the Board’s website: http://www.asbca.mil/Rules/rules.html.
