BILLING CODE 4510-FW-P OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET Office of Federal Procurement Policy Policy Letter 11-01, Performance of Inherently Governmental and Critical Functions AGENCY: Office of Federal Procurement Policy, Office of Management and Budget. ACTION: Notice; correction to final policy letter. SUMMARY: The Office of Federal Procurement Policy

(OFPP)in the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)is making a correction to the Final Policy Letter “Performance of Inherently Governmental and Critical Functions” (76 FR 56227-56242, September 12, 2011) to clarify that the Policy Letter applies to both Civilian and Defense Executive Branch Departments and Agencies. The original publication of the policy letter was inadvertently addressed only to the Heads of The Civilian Executive Departments and Agencies. Also, OFPP has corrected the citation for additional guidance about conduct of Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), because the original notice referenced an incorrect Part of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The corrections below should be used in place of text previously published in the September 12, 2011 notice. All other information from the published Final Policy remains unchanged. The full text of the original notice is available at *http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-09-12/pdf/2011-23165.pdf.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mathew Blum, OFPP,

(202)395-4953 or *mblum@omb.eop.gov,* or Jennifer Swartz, OFPP,

In the **Federal Register** on September 12, 2011, correct the last sentence in 5-1(c) on page 56238 to read: Agencies shall also refer to the requirements in FAR Part 35 regarding requirements pertaining to the conduct of FFRDCs.
