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 2005-100 amends the FAR as follows:

Item I--Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors (FAR Case 2017-001)

    DoD, GSA, and NASA are converting to a final rule, without change, 
an interim rule that amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 13706 and a Department of Labor 
final rule issued on September 30, 2016, both entitled Establishing 
Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. The rule requires contractors 
to allow all employees performing work on or in connection with a 
contract covered by the E.O. to accrue and use paid sick leave in 
accordance with E.O. 13706 and 29 CFR part 13. Contracting officers 
will include a clause in covered contracts. This FAR rule neither 
increases nor decreases the cost of the interim rule (81 FR 91627), 
which has been in effect since January 1, 2017.

Item II--Non-Retaliation for Disclosure of Compensation Information 
(FAR Case 2016-007)

    DoD, GSA, and NASA are converting to a final rule, without change, 
an interim rule that amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 13665, Non-Retaliation for 
Disclosure of Compensation Information. E.O. 13665, signed April 8, 
2014, amended E.O. 11246, Equal Opportunity in Federal Employment. The 
interim FAR rule also implemented a final rule issued by the Office of 
Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) of the Department of 
Labor, entitled Government Contractors, Prohibitions Against Pay 
Secrecy Policies and Actions, which was published on September 11, 
2015.
    E.O. 11246, originally issued September 24, 1965, establishes 
nondiscrimination and affirmative action obligations in employment for 
Federal contractors and subcontractors. It prohibits employment 
discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual 
orientation, gender identity, and national origin. E.O. 13665 amends 
E.O. 11246 and its Equal Opportunity Clause by incorporating, as a 
covered prohibition, discriminating against employees and job 
applicants who inquire about, discuss, or disclose the compensation of 
the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. Federal 
contractors and subcontractors must disseminate this nondiscrimination 
provision, using language prescribed by the Director of OFCCP, 
including incorporating the provision into existing employee manuals or 
handbooks and posting it. There is no significant impact on small 
entities imposed by the FAR rule.

Item III--Technical Amendments
