FSH 6309.32 - FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
Organization and Standard Posting Instructions for
Federal Acquisition Regulation,
Agriculture Acquisition Regulation, and
Forest Service Acquisition Regulation
1. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Organization. (For further direction on the
organization and posting of FAR parent text (white pages), see Part 1 of the FAR.)
The FAR is issued as Chapter 1 of Title 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Subsequent
chapters are reserved for agency acquisition regulations that implement or supplement the FAR;
at 48 CFR chapter 4 the Department of Agriculture issues policies and procedures that
supplement the FAR. A loose-leaf version of the FAR is printed for ease of agency
supplementation.
The FAR is divided into subchapters, parts, subparts (if applicable), sections, and paragraphs.
The digits to the left of the decimal point represent specific parts of Title 48 of the CFR. The
numbers to the right of the decimal point and to the left of the dash represent, in order, the
subpart (one or two digits) and the section (two digits). The number to the right of the dash
represents the subsection. Subdivisions may be used at the section and subsection level to
identify individual paragraphs.
For example, 25.108-2 refers to:
FAR:
Part
25
Subpart
1
Section
108
Subsection
2
Pages within each part are numbered consecutively at the bottom outside edge of the page. Each
page number is preceded by the part number; for example, the third page of Part 1 is numbered
1-3. Revised pages issued by a Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) carry the FAC number on
the bottom of the page, preceding the page number. Individual pages also are identified by
headers displaying the beginning section at the top left edge for left-hand pages, and the ending
section at the top right edge for right-hand pages.
2. Agriculture Acquisition Regulation (AGAR) Organization. (For further direction on the
organization and posting of AGAR parent text (white pages), see Part 401 of the AGAR.)
The AGAR is issued as Chapter 4 of Title 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), to implement
and supplement the FAR in Chapter 1. Parts 400 through 499 have been assigned to USDA for
the AGAR. The AGAR and its subsequent changes are published in (1) daily issues of the
Federal Register, (2) cumulative form in the CFR, and (3) loose-leaf form for distribution within
USDA.

FSH 6309.32 - FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
The AGAR parallels the FAR's organization, except that subdivisions below the section and
subsection levels may not always correlate directly to FAR paragraphs and subparagraphs.
For example, 401.602-3 refers to:
AGAR:
Part
401
Subpart
6
Section
602
Subsection
3
This AGAR subsection 401.602-3 supplements the FAR subsection 1.602-3.
Pages within each part are numbered consecutively at the bottom outside edge of the page. Each
page number is preceded by the part number; for example, the third page of AGAR Part 401 is
numbered 401-3.
3. Forest Service Acquisition Regulation (FSAR) Organization. (For further direction on the
organization and posting of FSAR supplements (buff pages), see Part 4G01 of the FSAR.)
The FSAR provides Forest Service guidance and procedures to supplement the FAR and AGAR.
The FSAR is printed on buff paper in a loose-leaf version for ease of agency supplementation
and for interleaving with FAR parent text pages.
The FSAR parallels the FAR and AGAR organization, except that FSAR subdivision numbering
follows the AGAR where it departs from the FAR.
To distinguish the FSAR, a "G" is added after the "4" in the AGAR part number. For example,
4G01.603-1 refers to:
FSAR:
Part
4G01
Subpart
6
Section
603
Subsection
1
FSAR subsection 4G01.603-1 supplements FAR subsection 1.603-1 and AGAR subsection
401.603-1.
4. Posting Instructions.
Transmittals. Transmittals accompany FAR parent text issued by Federal Acquisition Circulars
(FACs), Department AGAR supplements, and Forest Service FSAR supplements. File
transmittals for the FAR and FSAR at the front of the FSH 6309.32 in numerical sequence with
the highest amendment or supplement number first; file AGAR at the front of the separate
