Caveat
The FAR Council created deviations will include clauses and provisions currently required by statute and Executive Order. OMB and the FAR Council will work with Congress to recommend statutory changes and with the White House to recommend rescission of requirements stemming from prior Executive Orders that are inconsistent with the goals of Executive Order 14275 to stop the inefficient use of American taxpayer dollars in federal procurement. Any changes to Executive Orders or statute will be reflected when the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul turns to rule-making.
