contracts to be entered into, amended, or modified in order to 
facilitate national defense under the extraordinary emergency authority 
granted under 50 U.S.C. 1431 et seq. and Executive Order (E.O.) 10789 
dated November 14, 1958, et seq.
    This authority applies to the Government Printing Office; the 
Department of Homeland Security; the Tennessee Valley Authority; the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration; the Department of 
Defense; the Department of the Army; the Department of the Navy; the 
Department of the Air Force; the Department of the Treasury; the 
Department of the Interior; the Department of Agriculture; the 
Department of Commerce; and the Department of Transportation. Also 
included is the Department of Energy for functions transferred to that 
Department from other authorized agencies and any other agency that may 
be authorized by the President.
    In order for a contractor to be granted relief under the FAR, 
specific evidence must be submitted which supports the firm's assertion 
that relief is appropriate and that the matter cannot be disposed of 
under the terms of the contract.
    FAR 50.103-3 specifies the minimum information that a contractor 
must include in a request for contract adjustment in accordance with 
FAR 50-103-1 and 50.103-2.
    FAR 50-103-4 sets forth additional information that the contracting
