c.  Single Source Responsibility: The Contractor shall provide primers
    and undercoat paint produced by the same manufacturer as the finish

    surfaces. The Contractor shall apply paint only in temperatures that
    comply with the manufacturer\'s specifications.

h.  Preliminary Examination: The Contractor shall examine substrates and

        etc.)

    2.  The Contractor shall clean and prepare surfaces to be painted
        following the manufacturer\'s instructions before applying paint
        or surface treatments. This preparation includes removal of oil,

        smooth, even surface.

        other conditions show through final coat, until paint film is of

## 652.225-71 SECTION 8(A) OF THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT OF 1979, AS AMENDED (AUG 1999)

\(a\) Section 8(a) of the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended (50 U.S.C. 2407(a)), prohibits compliance by U.S. persons with
any boycott fostered by a foreign country against a country which is
friendly to the United States and which is not itself the object of any
form of boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation. The Boycott
of Israel by Arab League countries is such a boycott, and therefore, the
following actions, if taken with intent to comply with, further, or
support the Arab League Boycott of Israel, are prohibited activities
under the Export Administration Act:

1.  Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to do business with
    or in Israel, with any Israeli business concern, or with any
    national or resident of Israel, or with any other person, pursuant
    to an agreement of, or a request from or on behalf of a boycotting
    country;

2.  Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to employ or
    otherwise discriminating against any person on the basis of race,
    religion, sex, or national origin of that person or of any owner,
    officer, director, or employee of such person;

3.  Furnishing information with respect to the race, religion, or
    national origin of any U.S. person or of any owner, officer,
    director, or employee of such U.S. person;

4.  Furnishing information about whether any person has, has had, or
    proposes to have any business relationship (including a relationship
    by way of sale, purchase, legal or commercial representation,
    shipping or other transport, insurance, investment, or supply) with
    or in the State of Israel, with any business concern organized under
    the laws of the State of Israel, with any Israeli national or
    resident, or with any person which is known or believed to be
    restricted from having any business relationship with or in Israel;

5.  Furnishing information about whether any person is a member of, has
    made contributions to, or is otherwise associated with or involved
    in the activities of any charitable or fraternal organization which
    supports the State of Israel; and,

6.  Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise implementing a letter of
    credit which contains any condition or requirement against doing
    business with the State of Israel.

\(b\) Under Section 8(a), the following types of activities are not
forbidden "compliance with the boycott,\'\' and are therefore exempted
from Section 8(a)\'s prohibitions listed in paragraphs (a)(1)-(6) above:

> \(1\) Complying or agreeing to comply with requirements:
>
> \(i\) Prohibiting the import of goods or services from Israel or goods
> produced or services provided by any business concern organized under
> the laws of Israel or by nationals or residents of Israel; or,

> requirements may be stated in negative, blacklisting, or similar
> exclusionary terms, other than with respect to carriers or route of
> shipments as may be permitted by such regulations in order to comply
> with precautionary requirements protecting against war risks and
> confiscation;
>
> \(3\) Complying or agreeing to comply in the normal course of business
> with the unilateral and specific selection by a boycotting country, or
> national or resident thereof, of carriers, insurance, suppliers of
> services to be performed within the boycotting country or specific
> goods which, in the normal course of business, are identifiable by
> source when imported into the boycotting country;
>
> \(4\) Complying or agreeing to comply with the export requirements of
> the boycotting country relating to shipments or transshipments of
> exports to Israel, to any business concern of or organized under the
> laws of Israel, or to any national or resident of Israel;
>
> \(5\) Compliance by an individual or agreement by an individual to
> comply with the immigration or passport requirements of any country
> with respect to such individual or any member of such individual\'s

>
> \(6\) Compliance by a U.S. person resident in a foreign country or
> agreement by such person to comply with the laws of that country with
> respect to his or her activities exclusively therein, and such
> regulations may contain exceptions for such resident complying with
> the laws or regulations of that foreign country governing imports into
> such country of trademarked, trade named, or similarly specifically
> identifiable products, or components of products for his or her own
> use, including the performance of contractual services within that
