SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This final rule amends the DFARS as follows:

1. Corrects titles to four clauses at 225.7703-4 to remove the word “Act”.

2. Corrects DFARS clause 252.204-7007, Alternate A, Annual Representations and Certifications, to remove the representation at paragraph (d)(1)(iii) for DFARS 252.222-7007, Representation Regarding Combating Trafficking in Persons. DFARS final rule 2018-D003 (83 FR 24887) on May 30, 2018, removed representation 252.222-7007 from the DFARS; however, the cross-reference in DFARS 252.204-7007 to the representation was inadvertently omitted.

3. Corrects DFARS provision 252.225-7035, Buy American—Free Trade Agreements—Balance of Payments Program Certificate, Alternate V, in paragraph (a), by revising the reference to the “Buy American Act” by removing the word “Act”.
