View Rule

DoD is proposing to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to implement a DoD policy that implements section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 and section 819 of the NDAA for FY 2021. Section 847 enhances the process for assessing and mitigating risks related to foreign ownership, control, or influence and requires contract clauses providing for and enforcing changes in foreign ownership, control, or influence or beneficial ownership during performance of a contract or subcontract. Section 819 amends section 847 of the NDAA for FY 2020 to: (1) require DoD to examine, assess, and report on covered contractor and subcontractor compliance with foreign ownership, control, or influence requirements; and (2) identify procedures to respond appropriately to changes in covered contractor or subcontractor beneficial ownership status. The annualized costs associated with this rule are estimated at approximately $2.8 million for the public.
