             CHAPTER 7--AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
 
Sec. 752.228-3  Worker's compensation insurance (Defense Base Act).

    As prescribed in 728.309, the following supplemental coverage is to 
be added to the clause specified in FAR 52.228-3 by the USAID 
contracting officer.

    (a) The Contractor agrees to procure Defense Base Act (DBA) 
insurance pursuant to the terms of the contract between USAID and 
USAID's DBA insurance carrier unless the Contractor has a DBA self 
insurance program approved by the Department of Labor or has an approved 
retrospective rating agreement for DBA.
    (b) If USAID or the contractor has secured a waiver of DBA coverage 
(see AIDAR 728.305-70(a)) for contractor's employees who are not 
citizens of, residents of, or hired in the United States, the contractor 
agrees to provide such employees with worker's compensation benefits as 
required by the laws of the country in which the employees are working, 
or by the laws of the employee's native country, whichever offers 
greater benefits.
    (c) The Contractor further agrees to insert in all subcontracts 
hereunder to which the DBA is applicable, a clause similar to this 
clause, including this sentence, imposing on all subcontractors a like 
requirement to provide overseas workmen's compensation insurance 
coverage and obtain DBA coverage under the USAID requirements contract.
