55 FR 49852: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); Procurement Integrity

On November 5,1990, section 27 of the OFPP Act was further amended by section 815 of the FY 1991 DoD Authorization Act, Pub. L. 101-510. The post-employment restrictions contained in subsection 27(f) of the Act are suspended during the period beginning December 1, 1990, and ending May 31, 1991. Section 815 also provides that contractors need only obtain one certification required by subsection 27(e)(1)(B) from individuals required to certify under the subsection and that this certification be obtained at the earliest possible date after the beginning of the individual’s employment or association with that contractor. The Conference Report accompanying the amended Act states, “If a company decides to rely on certification executed prior to the suspension of section 27, it should take appropriate action to ensure that its employees are advised that section 27 has been reinstated.” (See 136 CONG. REC. H 12199 (daily ed. October 23,1990).) This amendment to the interim rule implements section 815.
