1400-AE04 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1400 Department of State STATE Department of State Acquisition Regulation: Safety Requirements

The Department of State (DOS) is amending the Department of State Acquisition Regulation (DOSAR) to provide new guidance prescribing more stringent safety requirements for certain overseas construction and services projects. It amends 48 CFR part 636, section 636.513, Accident Prevention; 48 CFR part 637; and 48 CFR part 652, section 652.236-70, Accident Prevention. The Department is rescinding the class deviation that authorized the substitution of DOSAR 652.236-70, Accident Prevention, for FAR 52.236-13 Accident Prevention, thus reinstating the requirement for use of FAR 52.23613. Additionally, a new clause, "Additional Safety Measures,” is added to replace DOSAR 652.236-70.
