SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A summary for the FAR rule follows. For the
actual revisions and/or amendments made by this FAR rule, refer to the
specific subject set forth in the document preceding this summary. FAC
2024-02 amends the FAR as follows:
Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects (FAR
Case 2022-003)
This final rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to
implement Executive Order (E.O.) 14063, Use of Project Labor Agreements
for Federal Construction Projects. E.O. 14063 expands the definition of
``construction,'' raises the threshold for a large-scale construction
project from $25 million to $35 million and establishes a series of
exceptions to the PLA requirements. Additionally, the E.O. mandates
that Federal Government agencies require the use of project labor
agreements (PLAs) for large-scale Federal construction projects, where
the total estimated cost of the construction contract to the Government
is $35 million or more, unless an exception applies. The final rule is
not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities participating on a project that requires a PLA
because the E.O. limits the requirement for mandatory PLAs to projects
exceeding $35 million, unless an exception applies.
