BILLING CODE 6560-50-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 48 CFR Parts 927, 952, and 970 RIN 1991-AB82 Acquisition Regulation: Patents, Data and Copyrights AGENCY: Department of Energy. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; withdrawal. SUMMARY: On November 7, 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE)published a rule in the **Federal Register** proposing to amend the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR). DOE hereby withdraws this proposed rule. DATES: The proposed rule that appeared in the **Federal Register** on November 7, 2013 (78 FR 66865) is withdrawn as of April 19, 2019. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon Archer, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Acquisition Management, MA-611, 950 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC 20024. Telephone:
(202)287-1739. Email: *Sharon.Archer@hq.doe.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 3, 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE)published a rule proposing to make changes to conform to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This proposed revision would have updated, clarified and streamlined text in certain DOE intellectual property and technology transfer clauses in order to benefit from DOE's experience under the existing clauses, and, where necessary, make these DOE clauses consistent with recent changes to the FAR. However, the Department has determined that it will not proceed with the rulemaking and, as such, is withdrawing the proposed rule. The changes that were proposed in this rulemaking will be incorporated into a larger rulemaking that will update the entire Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR). Signed in Washington, DC, on March 26, 2019. John Bashista, Director, Office of Acquisition Management, Department of Energy. [FR Doc. 2019-07913 Filed 4-18-19; 8:45 am]
