Prohibition of Acquisition of Products Produced by Forced or 
Indentured Child Labor (FAC 97-23, FAR Case 1999-608)

    This final rule amends the FAR by adding a new FAR subpart on 
prohibition of acquisition of products produced by forced or indentured 
child labor (Subpart 22.15), adding a new certification regarding 
knowledge of child labor for listed end products (FAR 52.212-3 and 
52.222-18), and adding a clause at 52.222-19, which requires 
cooperation with authorities if the solicitation included the 
certification provision and provides remedies for violations relating 
to use of forced or indentured child labor.

Acting Director, Federal Acquisition Policy Division.
