SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the
actual revisions and/or amendments made by these FAR rules, refer to
the specific item numbers and subjects set forth in the documents
following these item summaries. FAC 2025-01 amends the FAR as follows:
Item I--Prohibition on Unmanned Aircraft Systems From Covered Foreign
Entities (FAR Case 2024-002)
This interim rule amends the FAR to implement a prohibition on
procuring, operating, or using Federal funds on, unmanned aircraft
systems (e.g., drones) that are manufactured or assembled by an
American Security Drone Act-covered foreign entity. This rule
implements the American Security Drone Act of 2023 (subtitle B, title
XVIII of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024,
Pub. L. 118-31, 41 U.S.C. 3901 note prec.). This rule applies to all
solicitations and contracts, including contracts at or below the micro-
purchase threshold and to contracts for commercial products (including
commercially available off-the-shelf items) or for commercial services.
The change is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. This interim rule is being
implemented as a national security measure to protect sensitive
Government information and operations.

Item II--Clarification of System for Award Management Preaward
Registration Requirements (FAR Case 2023-018)
This interim rule amends the FAR to clarify System for Award
Management preaward registration requirements. Offerors are required to
be registered at the time of proposal submission and at time of award,
rather than continuously in between. This change is expected to have a
positive impact on small businesses who have a minor lapse in
registration.
