This request is
approved as modified based on public comment received. Agencies
should begin requiring use of the new form as soon as possible.
However, recognizing the need for orderly transition--related
printing, distribution, changing operational procedures and other
matters--use of existing agency forms (including the old SF-85P)
may continue through August 31, 1995. In no instance shall use of
old forms continue after August 1995.
