The Department
has agreed that the number of copies required in regulations at 27
CFR 275.110 and in Form 2987 should be reduced to comply with the
limitation specified in 5 CFR 1320.6 (c) of an original and 2
copies of any document. Regulatory changes required to reduce the
number of copies should be completed no later than Septembe 1987.
Unused stocks of forms and instructions in existence at that time
would not constitute sufficient reason for failure to meet that
deadline.
