What Does FAR Stand For?

03/31/2012 3:03 AM

Hello everyone, someone please explain me what does FAR stand for? For example LER stands for Local Equipment Room. It is something similar to that I guess. Thank you all in advance.

A common usage for FAR here in the US is Federal Acquisition Regulations:

Thank you all of you for your efforts. FAR stands for "Field Auxiliary Room". Once again thank you all.
