SUMMARY: This document corrects internal citations within the Homeland
Security Acquisition Regulation to reflect previous redesignation of
sections related to contracting with corporate expatriates and the
recodification of certain public contracting laws in title 41, United
States Code.
DATES: Effective Date: November 15, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann Van Houten, Procurement Analyst,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This document corrects internal citations within the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR)
at parts 3009 and 3052 to reflect a prior redesignation of related
sections and the recodification of certain public contracting laws in
title 41, United States Code, by Public Law 111-350, 124 Stat. 367
(Jan. 4, 2011).
On November 16, 2009, DHS published a final rule entitled
Prohibition on Federal Protective Service Guard Services Contracts With
Business Concerns Owned, Controlled, or Operated by an Individual
Convicted of a Felony [HSAR Case 2009-001], 74 FR 58851 (Nov. 16,
2009), implementing prohibitions related to contracting with guard
services owned, controlled or operated by an individual who has been
convicted of a serious felony. This final rule resulted in the
resdesignation of multiple sections within the HSAR. On December 16,
2009, DHS corrected the final rule by redesignating section 3009.104-70
as section 3009.108-70, and subsections 3009.104-71 through 3009.104-75
as subsections 3009.108-7001 through 3009.108-7005. 74 FR 66584 (Dec.
16, 2009). This amendment corrects internal references within
subsections 3009.108-7001, 3009.108-7004 and 3052.209-70 to reflect the
previous redesignations.
The amendment also corrects the authority citation for Parts 3009
and 3052 resulting from the recodification of certain public
contracting laws in title 41 by Public Law 111-350, 124 Stat. 367 (Jan.
4, 2011).
