SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the 
actual revisions and/or amendments made by these rules, refer to the 
specific item numbers and subjects set forth in the documents following 
these item summaries. FAC 2005-99 amends the FAR as follows:

Item I--Use of Products and Services of Kaspersky Lab (FAR Case 2018-
010)

    This interim rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
to implement section 1634 of Division A of the National Defense 
Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91). 
Section 1634 of this law prohibits the Federal Government's use on or 
after October 1, 2018, of hardware, software, and services developed or 
provided, in whole or in part, by Kaspersky Lab or related entities.
    To implement section 1634, the clause at 52.204-23 prohibits 
contractors from providing any hardware, software, or services 
developed or provided by Kaspersky Lab or its related entities, or 
using any such hardware, software, or services in the development of 
data or deliverables first produced in the performance of the contract. 
The contractor must also report any such hardware, software, or 
services discovered during contract performance; this requirement flows 
down to subcontractors.
    This rule applies to all acquisitions, including acquisitions at or 
below the simplified acquisition threshold and to acquisitions of 
commercial items, including commercially available off-the-shelf items. 
It may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.
    This interim rule is being implemented as a national security 
measure to protect Government information and information systems.

Item II--Violations of Arms Control Treaties or Agreements With the 
United States (FAR Case 2017-018)

    This interim rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
to implement section 1290 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2017 (Pub. L. 114-328, codified at 22 U.S.C. 2593e), which 
addresses measures against persons involved in activities that violate 
arms control treaties or agreements with the United States. The interim 
rule adds a certification provision in each solicitation for the 
acquisition of products or services (including construction) that 
exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, except for solicitations 
for the acquisition of commercial items.
    This interim rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.
