SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A summary for the FAR rule follows. For the actual revisions and/or amendments made by this FAR rule, refer to the specific subject set forth in the document preceding this summary. FAC 2024-02 amends the FAR as follows: Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects (FAR Case 2022-003) This final rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 14063, Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects. E.O. 14063 expands the definition of “construction,” raises the threshold for a large-scale construction project from $25 million to $35 million and establishes a series of exceptions to the PLA requirements. Additionally, the E.O. mandates that Federal Government agencies require the use of project labor agreements (PLAs) for large-scale Federal construction projects, where the total estimated cost of the construction contract to the Government is $35 million or more, unless an exception applies. The final rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities participating on a project that requires a PLA because the E.O. limits the requirement for mandatory PLAs to projects exceeding $35 million, unless an exception applies.
