View Rule

DoD was issuing final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 815 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012, which revised sections 10 U.S.C. 2320 and 2321. The objective of the rule was to: (1) add special provisions for handling technical data that are necessary for segregation and reintegration activities; (2) codify and revise the policies and procedures regarding deferred ordering of technical data; (3) expand the period in which DoD can challenge an asserted restriction on technical data from 3 years to 6 years; (4) rescind changes to 10 U.S.C. 2320 from the NDAA for FY 2011; and (5) codify Government purpose rights as the default rights for technical data related to technology developed with mixed funding. DoD did not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule is withdrawn; the case was closed into DFARS Case 2017-D006, Rights in Technical Data and Validation of Proprietary Data Restrictions, in order to address section 809 of the NDAA for FY 2017, which further amends 10 U.S.C. 2320.
