SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections 
concerned the application of the Small Business Act to contracts 
awarded by domestic contracting activities where contract performance 
takes place overseas; and revised the coverage regarding the Defense 
Base Act. A new solicitation provision was added at 48 CFR 652.228-70, 
Defense Base Act--Covered Contractor Employees, and the contract clause 
and solicitation provision at 652.228-71, Workers' Compensation 
Insurance (Defense Base Act)--Services, and 652.228-74, Defense Base 
Act Insurance Rates--Limitation, were revised accordingly.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations did not include the dates of 
the clause and provisions at Sec. Sec.  652.228-70, 652.228-71, and 
652.228-74. Since contract clauses and solicitation provisions are 
subject to revision from time to time, all clauses and provisions are 
dated. To avoid confusion concerning which version of any provision or 
clause is operative in any given solicitation or contract, the date 
must be included when including clauses and provisions in contracts and 
solicitations.
