    Dear  Mr. Valakis:

          By letter dated October 23, 1978, you  transmitted
     for our comment the third Federal Acquisition-Regulation
     draft segment.  This segment consists of  Part 29 -
     Taxes.

          29.000  Scope of part - states that  this
          part explains Federal, State and local
          taxation of certai-n supplies and services,
          the applicability of such taxes to  the
          Federal Government, and prescribes policy
          and procedures for use of tax clauses.

          29.1  General - advises contracting officers
          to coordiftate with and consult legal counsel
          on tax matters and to discourage contractors
          from negotiating independently with  taxing
          authorities under certain circumstances.

          29.2  Federal Excise Taxes - discusses  the
          imposition of Federal excise taxes on certain
          supplies and services and the fact  that the
          Federal Government is often exempt  from such
          taxes.  It describes the procedures and  cir-
          cumstances under which the Government  takes
          advantage of the available exemptions.

          29.3  State and Local taxes - discusses  the
          application of State and local taxes  to the
          Federal Government and to its contractors
          and subcontractors.  It covers the procedure
          for claiming exemption from the taxes,  as
          well as the special circumstances  involving
          the North Carolina Sales and Use Tax Act.

          29.4  Contract Clauses - prescribes  the
          circumstances for use of certain tax  clauses.
