This interim rule allows contracting officers to purchase the goods
and services of Costa Rica, Oman, and Peru without application of the
Buy American Act if the acquisition is subject to the applicable trade
agreements. The free trade agreements with Costa Rica, Oman, and Peru
join the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Australia,
Bahrain, Chile, Morocco, and Singapore Free Trade Agreements, and the
Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement
(CAFTA-DR) with respect to the Dominican Republic, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, which are already in the FAR.
The threshold for supplies and services is $67,826 for the CAFTA-DR
and $194,000 for the Oman and Peru FTAs. The threshold for construction
is $7,443,000 for the CAFTA-DR and the Peru FTA and $8,817,449 for the
Oman FTA.

This final rule converts the proposed rule published at 73 FR 19035
on April 8, 2008, to a final rule with one editorial change. This final
rule incorporates improvements related to requests for progress
payments and the Standard Form (SF) 1443, Contractor's Request for
