SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The General Services Administration 

(GSA) is amending the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation 

(GSAR) to revise GSAR 528.202, 

Acceptability of corporate sureties, and 

528.310, Contract clause for work on a 

Government installation; to add 

528.311, Solicitation provision and 

contract clause on liability insurance 

under cost-reimbursement contracts, 

and the GSAR clause at 552.228–5, 

Government as Additional Insured; and 

to delete GSAR clause 552.228–70, 

Workers’ Compensation Laws. 

This rule is a result of the General 

Services Administration Acquisition 

Manual (GSAM) Rewrite initiative 

undertaken by GSA to revise the GSAM 

to maintain consistency with the FAR 

and to implement streamlined and 

innovative acquisition procedures that 

contractors, offerors, and GSA 

contracting personnel can utilize when 

entering into and administering 

contractual relationships. The GSAM 

incorporates the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation 

(GSAR) as well as internal agency 

acquisition policy. 

GSA will rewrite each part of the 

GSAR and GSAM, and as each GSAR 

part is rewritten, will publish it in the 

Federal Register. 

This rule covers the rewrite of GSAR 

Part 528. The rule amends Part 528 to 

update the text addressing GSAR 

528.202, Acceptability of corporate 

sureties, and 528.310, Contract clause 

for work on a Government installation. 

The rule adds 528.311, Solicitation 

provision and contract clause on 

liability insurance under costreimbursement contracts, and the GSAR 

clause at 552.228–5, Government as 

Additional Insured, and deletes the 

clause 552.228–70, Workers’

Compensation Laws. The specific 

changes are as follows: 

• The language in 528.202, 

Acceptability of corporate sureties, is 

revised to change ‘‘you’’ to ‘‘The 

contracting officer.’’

• GSAR 528.310, Contract clause for 

work on a Government installation, 

deletes 528.310(b) and the clause 

552.228–70, Workers’ Compensation 

Laws. Clause 552.228–70 is deleted 

because its only purpose is to recite the 

fact that 40 U.S.C. 3172 effects a limited 

cession of jurisdiction to states with 

respect to enforcement of worker’s 

compensation laws and has no
