PRECIS-UNAVAILABLE

MR. LAWRENCE J. RIZZI, DIRECTOR FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION PROJECT, GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION:

BY LETTER DATED MAY 17, 1983, YOU REQUESTED COMMENTS ON PROPOSED FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR) PART 27, PATENTS, DATA, AND COPYRIGHTS.

WE NOTE THAT PROPOSED SECTION 27-201-1(A) MENTIONS THE UNITED STATES COURT OF CLAIMS. THE FEDERAL COURTS IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1982, PUB.L. 97-164, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1982, REPLACED THE COURT OF CLAIMS AND THE UNITED STATES COURT OF CUSTOMS AND PATENT APPEALS WITH THE UNITED STATES CLAIMS COURT AND THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT. THE PROPOSED SECTION THEREFORE SHOULD BE REVISED TO REFLECT THAT CHANGE.

WE HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS.
