Crowell & Moring has prepared a detailed analysis of each new FAR provision, including those about the Buy American Act Requirements, the onerous reporting requirements for prime and subcontractors, the Inspector General and Government Accountability Office Audit Rights and access to contractor employees, government publication requirements, and the substantial new whistleblower protections.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed another revision to independent contractor regulations, one that would provide for more leeway in classifying workers as contractors. DOL’s proposed rule, published on February 26, 2026, would rescind the Biden DOL’s March 2024 independent contractor regulation and reinstate a framework substantially tracking the prior Trump rule of January 2021. The proposed rule would also apply the narrower analysis to worker classifications under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA). The comment period closes in late April 2026; until then, the 2024 rule remains in effect for purposes of private litigation.
