The U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports the FAR Council's efforts to simplify the FAR and establish a governmentwide framework for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The Associated General Contractors of America, National Defense Industrial Association, Professional Services Council, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce are requesting a 60-day extension of the comment period for the proposed Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul.

The American Small Business Chamber of Commerce is requesting an extension of the public comment period for four proposed FAR Overhaul rules. They argue that the scale of the changes, the lack of cost analysis for small entities, and the interdependence with an unpublished rule (Part 19) require more time for a responsible and adequate review.

The U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce, representing women-owned small businesses, requests an extension of the comment period for the proposed FAR Overhaul rules.

The Council of Defense and Space Industry Associations (CODSIA) is requesting a 30-day extension to the public comment period for several proposed FAR rulemakings.

GovContractPros, LLC, a government contracting services firm, requests that the FAR Council extend the public comment period for four proposed rules regarding the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (RFO) overhaul.

Bristol Bay Native Corporation, an Alaska Native Regional Corporation, supports the goal of a clearer, streamlined FAR but expresses concerns regarding the lack of accompanying Part 19 text and the potential for increased administrative burdens on 8(a) participants.
