SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Item I—Local Community Recovery Act 

of 2006 (Interim) (FAR Case 2006–014) 

This interim rule adds a local area setaside to the FAR for debris clearance, 

distribution of supplies, reconstruction, 

and other major disaster or emergency 

assistance activities. The contracting 

officer defines the set-aside area. The 

rule implements the Local Community 

Recovery Act of 2006, which 

strengthens the government’s ability to 

promote local economic recovery. The 

local area set-aside does not replace 

small business set-asides. Both can be 

used at the same time. The rule imposes 

subcontracting restrictions when a local 

area set-aside is used. No competition 

justification is required for the local area 

set-aside.
