FAC 2024-07 amends the FAR as follows: Item I--Reference to Penalty Threshold (FAR Case 2023-005) This final rule amends the FAR to align the penalties language in the FAR lobbying provision at FAR 52.203-11 with the equivalent penalties language in the FAR lobbying clause at FAR 52.203-12. FAR 52.203-11(e) cites to the underlying authority at 31 U.S.C. 1352 and specifies that an imposition of a civil penalty does not prevent the Government from seeking any other remedy that may be applicable.
