SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Approximately every two years, the 

trade agreements thresholds for the 

World Trade Organization Government 

Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA) 

and the free trade agreements (FTAs) are 

adjusted according to predetermined 

formulae under the agreements. These 

thresholds are effective as of January 1, 

2024. On December 8, 2023 (88 FR 

85718), the United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) published new 

procurement thresholds. 

The United States Trade 

Representative has specified the 

following new thresholds:

13962 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 37 / Friday, February 23, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

II. Discussion and Analysis 

This final rule implements the new 

thresholds in FAR subpart 25.4, Trade 

Agreements, and other sections in the 

FAR that include trade agreements 

thresholds (i.e., FAR 22.1503, 25.202, 

25.402, 25.603, 25.1101, and 25.1102). 

A group of FTAs have been at the 

$92,319 threshold and are increasing to 

$102,280. This group includes the 

Australia, Chile, Colombia, and 

Singapore FTAs, CAFTA–DR, and 

Mexico in the USMCA. The 2024 

threshold change places these FTAs 

above the $100,000 Korea FTA 

threshold, instead of beneath it. These 

new thresholds do not work with the 

pre-existing framework in the FAR. The 

Korea FTA at $100,000 and above 

previously fit alongside the Australia 

FTA/CAFTA–DR group at $92,319 and 

above, but this will no longer be so 

because there can no longer be any 

values that are less than the Korea FTA 

threshold, but greater than the Australia 

FTA/CAFTA–DR group threshold. 

Three primary changes were made to fix 

the framework. 

1. At FAR 25.1101, the prescription 

for Alternate II of FAR 52.225–3, Buy 

American—Free Trade Agreements— 

Israeli Trade Act, is changed so that it 

no longer applies to the Australia FTA/ 

CAFTA–DR group, but instead only to 

the Israeli Trade Act. There are no 

changes to the Alternate II language. 

2. At FAR 25.1101, the prescription 

for Alternate III of FAR 52.225–3 is 

changed so that it only applies to the 

Korea FTA and Israeli Trade Act. 

Application of the Australia FTA/ 

CAFTA–DR group moves into the base 

clause of FAR 52.225–3. 

3. A change to the Alternate III 

language was needed due to the change 

in the prescription. DoD, GSA, and 

NASA deleted the definition of 

‘‘Bahraini, Moroccan, Omani, 

Panamanian, or Peruvian end product,’’ 

and in its place added a definition of 

‘‘Korean end product.’’ DoD, GSA, and 

NASA also added a corresponding 

change in the prescription and Alternate 

III of FAR 52.225–4, Buy American— 

Free Trade Agreements—Israeli Trade 

Act Certificate. 

In addition, changes are required to 

the provisions at FAR 52.204–8, Annual 

Representations and Certifications, and 

52.212–3, Offeror Representations and 

Certifications—Commercial Products 

and Commercial Services, and to the 

clause at FAR 52.222–19, Child Labor— 

Cooperation with Authorities and 

Remedies, with conforming changes to 

the clause dates in FAR 52.212–5, 

Contract Terms and Conditions 

Required to Implement Statutes or 

Executive Orders—Commercial 

Products and Commercial Services, and 

FAR 52.213–4, Terms and Conditions— 

Simplified Acquisitions (Other Than 

Commercial Products and Commercial 

Services). 

III. Publication of This Final Rule for 

Public Comment Is Not Required by 

Statute 

The statute that applies to the 

publication of the FAR is 41 U.S.C. 

1707. Subsection (a)(1) of 41 U.S.C. 

1707 requires that a procurement policy, 

regulation, procedure, or form 

(including an amendment or 

modification thereof) must be published 

for public comment if it relates to the 

expenditure of appropriated funds and 

has either a significant effect beyond the 

internal operating procedures of the 

agency issuing the policy, regulation, 

procedure, or form, or has a significant 

cost or administrative impact on 

contractors or offerors. This final rule is 

not required to be published for public 

comment, because it only adjusts the 

thresholds according to predetermined 

formulae to adjust for changes in 

economic conditions, thus maintaining 

the status quo, without significant effect 

beyond the internal operating 

procedures of the Government and 

without a significant cost or 

administrative impact on contractors or 

offerors. 

IV. Expected Impact of the Rule 

This final rule will adjust the 

thresholds for application of the WTO 

GPA and FTAs, as determined by the 

USTR. For acquisitions covered by the 

WTO GPA or FTAs, the USTR has 

waived the Buy American statute and 

other discriminatory provisions for 

eligible products. As a result, eligible 

products and services will receive equal 

consideration with domestic offers if the 

estimated value of the contract meets or 

exceeds the new thresholds set by the 

USTR. This rule is not expected to 

significantly impact domestic offerors or 

offerors covered by the WTO GPA or a 

FTA because the threshold adjustments 

made under this rule simply 

accommodate changes in economic 

conditions, while maintaining the status 

quo. 

V. Applicability to Contracts at or 

Below the Simplified Acquisition 

Threshold (SAT) and for Commercial 

Products (Including Commercially 

Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items), 

or for Commercial Services 

This rule amends the FAR to make 

minor revisions in the thresholds for 

application of the WTO GPA and the 

FTAs. The revisions do not add any new 

burdens or, except for the thresholds 

changes themselves, impact 

applicability of clauses and provisions 

at or below the simplified acquisition 

threshold, to acquisitions of commercial 

products (including commercially 

available off-the-shelf items), or to 

acquisitions of commercial services. 

VI. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 (as 

amended by E.O. 14094) and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This is not a significant 

regulatory action and, therefore, was not 

subject to review under Section 6(b) of 

E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. 

VII. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act, DoD, GSA, and NASA will send 

this rule to each House of the Congress 

and to the Comptroller General of the 

United States. The Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the 

Office of Management and Budget has 

determined that this rule does not meet 

the definition in 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

VIII. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public comment are not required to be 

given for this rule under 41 U.S.C. 

1707(a)(1) (see section III of this 

preamble), the analytical requirements 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601–612) are not applicable. 

Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility 

analysis is required, and none has been 

prepared. 

IX. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule affects the information 

collection requirements in the 

provisions at FAR 52.225–2, 52.225–4, 

52.225–6, and 52.225–10, and the 

clauses at FAR 52.225–9, 52.225–11, 

52.225–21, and 52.225–23, currently 

approved under OMB Control Number 

9000–0024, entitled ‘‘Buy American 

Act, Trade Agreements, and Duty-Free 

Entry,’’ in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3521). The impact, however, is 

negligible, because the threshold 

changes are in line with inflation and 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES5
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 37 / Friday, February 23, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 13963 

maintain the status quo. As a result, 

there is no change to the estimated 

burden.

character, or use distinct from that of 

the article or articles from which it was 

transformed. The term refers to a 

product offered for purchase under a 

supply contract, but for purposes of 

calculating the value of the end product 

includes services (except transportation 

services) incidental to the article, 

provided that the value of those 

incidental services does not exceed that 

of the article itself. 

(c) Delivery of end products. 41 U.S.C. 

chapter 83 provides a preference for 

domestic end products for supplies 

acquired for use in the United States. In 

accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the 

domestic content test of the Buy 

American statute is waived for an end 

product that is a COTS item (see 

12.505(a)(1)), except that for an end 

product that consists wholly or 

predominantly of iron or steel or a 

combination of both, the domestic 

content test is applied only to the iron 

and steel content of the end product, 

excluding COTS fasteners. In addition, 

the Contracting Officer has determined 

that the Korea (Republic of) FTA and 

the Israeli Trade Act apply to this 

acquisition. Unless otherwise specified, 

these trade agreements apply to all 

items in the Schedule. The Contractor 

shall deliver under this contract only 

domestic end products except to the 

extent that, in its offer, it specified 

delivery of foreign end products in the 

provision entitled ‘‘Buy American—Free 

Trade Agreements—Israeli Trade Act 

Certificate.’’ If the Contractor specified 

in its offer that the Contractor would 

supply a Korean end product or an 

Israeli end product, then the Contractor 

shall supply a Korean end product, an 

Israeli end product, or at the 

Contractor’s option, a domestic end 

product.
