CAS Exemption For Time & Material And Labor Hour Contracts
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 07.06.07
To conform the Cost Accounting Standards regulations to the statutory provisions of the Services Acquisition Reform Act and to the recently amended provisions of the FAR, the CAS Board has issued regulations (72 Fed. Reg. 36367, July 3, 2007) exempting Time and Material (T&M) and Labor Hour (LH) contracts for commercial items from CAS coverage. Because the comparable FAR provisions require competition as a prerequisite to award of T&M and LH contracts for commercial items, the CAS exemption will apply only to competitively awarded contracts.

After hosting a series of workshops and issuing multiple rounds of materials, including enforcement notices, checklists, templates, and other guidance, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has proposed regulations to implement the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) and the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (SB 261) (both as amended by SB 219), which require large U.S.-based businesses operating in California to disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate-related risks. CARB also published a Notice of Public Hearing and an Initial Statement of Reasons along with the proposed regulations. While CARB’s final rules were statutorily required to be promulgated by July 1, 2025, these are still just proposals. CARB’s proposed rules largely track earlier guidance regarding how CARB intends to define compliance obligations, exemptions, and key deadlines, and establish fee programs to fund regulatory operations.
