Overview
This section identifies the official regulatory location of the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) and provides specific contact information for obtaining physical copies of these standards.
Key Rules
- Codification: CASB Standards and Regulations are officially published in Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapter 99.
- Availability: Copies are made available through the Superintendent of Documents at the US Government Publishing Office (GPO).
- Procurement Methods: The regulation provides both a physical mailing address in Washington, DC, and a dedicated phone number for ordering documents.
Practical Implications
- Reference Authority: Contractors must look beyond the standard FAR (Chapters 1–51) and consult 48 CFR Chapter 99 to ensure full compliance with CAS requirements.
- Accessibility: While these standards are now widely available online, this section establishes the GPO as the official source for authenticated hard copies required for legal or administrative reference.
