For the actual revisions and/or

following these item summaries. FAC
2005–80 amends the FAR as specified
below:
Item I—Ending Trafficking in Persons
(FAR Case 2013–001)
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES2
This final rule amends the FAR to
implement Executive Order 13627 and
Title XVII of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
and promotes the United States policy
prohibiting trafficking in persons.
Contractors and subcontractors must
disclose to employees the key
conditions of employment, starting with
wages and work location; no recruiting
fees are allowed to be charged to
employees.
Compliance plans and annual
certifications are required for portions of
contracts over $500,000 performed
outside the United States, except for
commercially available off-the-shelf
items of supply; plans shall be
appropriate to the size and complexity
of the contract or subcontract, and the
nature and scope of the activities under
the contract or subcontract. These plan
exceptions will significantly reduce the
impact on small entities.

FAR case
Contracting officers should specify in
the contract whether a written employee
work document is required, which
notifies the employee of certain details
about the work and about trafficking in
persons. The contracting officer is also
required to notify the agency Inspector
General, debarring and suspending
official, and, if appropriate, law
enforcement of credible information
regarding violations. The contracting
officer is required to put into FAPIIS
violations substantiated by the agency
Inspector General, after a final agency
determination.
Item II—Management and Oversight of
the Acquisition of Services (FAR Case
2014–008)
This final rule amends the FAR to
implement a recommendation to
strengthen guidance on service
acquisitions by incorporating at FAR
37.101 the definitions relating to
‘‘uncompensated overtime’’ presently
set forth in FAR 52.237–10(a), except
that the defined term ‘‘uncompensated
overtime rate’’ has been changed to
‘‘adjusted hourly rate (including
uncompensated overtime).’’
Additionally, the definition of the new
term ‘‘adjusted hourly rate (including
uncompensated overtime)’’ clarifies that
the proposed hours per week include
uncompensated overtime hours over
and above the standard 40-hour work
week. FAR 52.237–10 is further

amended to clarify the application of
the adjusted hourly rate, and
categorization of proposed hours subject
to the adjusted hourly rate. In addition,
FAR 52.237–10 has been amended to
reflect that all proposed labor hours
subject to the adjusted hourly rate shall
be identified as either regular or
overtime hours, by labor categories.
Finally, FAR 37.115–2 has been
amended to add a paragraph (d) to
clarify that when there is
uncompensated overtime, the adjusted
hourly rate, rather than the hourly rate
shall be applied to all proposed hours,
whether regular or overtime hours.
This rule is not expected to have a
significant cost or administrative impact
on contractors or offerors. This final rule
is also not expected to have a significant
impact on contracting officers because it
only clarifies policy that is already
stated in the FAR. These requirements
affect only the internal operating
procedures of the Government.
Item III—Technical Amendments
Editorial changes are made at FAR
46.202–4, 52.212–3, and 52.225–18.
