DoD is issuing a correction to the final rule published at 69 FR 74990-74991 on December 15, 2004, pertaining to competition requirements. The correction shows that the change to 48 CFR part 206, section 206.001, revises only paragraph (b) of section 206.001.

The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. App. Sec. 531, prevents a landlord from evicting a service member (or the service member's family) from a residence during a period of military service except by court order. The law as originally passed by Congress applied to monthly rents of $2400 or less. The law requires the Department of Defense to adjust this amount annually to reflect inflation, and to publish the new amount in the Federal Register. We have applied the inflation index required by the statute: the maximum monthly rental amount for 50 U.S.C. App. Sec. 531 (a)(1)(A)(ii) will be $2534.32 as of January 1, 2005.
