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 following these item summaries. FAC 2022-06 amends the FAR as follows:

Item I—Applicability of Small Business Regulations Outside the United States (FAR Case 2016-002)

This final rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to give agencies the tools they need, especially the ability to use set-asides, to maximize opportunities for small businesses outside the United States or its outlying areas, as defined in FAR part 2. Prior to this rule, the FAR stated that the small business programs do not apply outside of the United States (FAR 19.000(b)). This rule supports the Small Business Administration (SBA) policy of including overseas contracts in agency small business contracting goals.

Item II—Technical Amendments

Editorial changes are made at FAR 4.402, 4.1103, 12.302, 12.402, 15.601, 18.205, 46.102, 52.212-5, and 52.222-54.
