SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections concerned the application of the Small Business Act to contracts awarded by domestic contracting activities where contract performance takes place overseas; and revised the coverage regarding the Defense Base Act. A new solicitation provision was added at 48 CFR 652.228-70, Defense Base Act—Covered Contractor Employees, and the contract clause and solicitation provision at 652.228-71, Workers' Compensation Insurance (Defense Base Act)—Services, and 652.228-74, Defense Base Act Insurance Rates—Limitation, were revised accordingly.

Need for Correction

As published, the final regulations did not include the dates of the clause and provisions at §§ 652.228-70, 652.228-71, and 652.228-74. Since contract clauses and solicitation provisions are subject to revision from time to time, all clauses and provisions are dated. To avoid confusion concerning which version of any provision or clause is operative in any given solicitation or contract, the date must be included when including clauses and provisions in contracts and solicitations.
