Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal Acquisition Regulation shall be revised to require a certification from each person that is a prospective contractor that the person, and any person under common ownership or control with the person, does not sell goods, services, or technology to, or conduct any other transaction with, Iran for which sanctions may be imposed under this Act. If the head of an executive agency determines that a person has submitted a false certification under subsection

The President may on a case-by-case basis waive the requirement that a person make a certification under subsection
