SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the 
actual revisions and/or amendments made by these FAR rules, refer to 
the specific item numbers and subjects set forth in the documents 
preceding these item summaries. FAC 2024-03 amends the FAR as follows:

Item I--Certification of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small 
Businesses (FAR Case 2022-009)

    This interim rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation to 
implement the Governmentwide certification requirement for service-
disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) concerns seeking sole-
source and set-aside awards under the SDVOSB Program. Beginning January 
1, 2024, SDVOSB concerns must either be certified by the Small Business 
Administration (SBA), or have both submitted an application for 
certification to SBA on or before December 31, 2023, and represented 
that it is an SDVOSB in the System for Award Management (SAM), in order 
to be eligible for sole-source or set-aside awards under the SDVOSB 
Program. This rule also requires that an SDVOSB concern update its 
status in the System for Award Management no later than two days after 
the date of a final determination that the concern does not meet the 
requirements of the status the concern claims to hold, and provides new 
SDVOSB protest and appeal procedures. The interim rule will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
because the rule simply implements the requirements of SBA's 
regulations and does not impose any additional compliance burden on 
entities.

Item II--Trade Agreements Thresholds (FAR Case 2023-012)

    This final rule amends the FAR to adjust the thresholds for 
application of the World Trade Organization Government Procurement 
Agreement and the Free Trade Agreements as determined by the United 
States Trade Representative, according to predetermined formulae under 
the agreements.
