View Rule

This final rule will amend the DoD rule on the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) by removing subpart C, which describes industrial security procedures and practices related to foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) for U.S. Government activities. DoD implementation of the NISP is conducted in accordance with Executive Order 12829, "National Industrial Security Program," and the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) rule at 32 CFR part 2004, titled "National Industrial Security Program.” The ISOO, a sub-agency of the National Archives and Records Administration, finalized revisions to the 32 CFR part 2004 on May 7, 2018 (83 FR 19950). Subpart C of part 117 will now be removed as it is duplicative and less comprehensive than 32 CFR part 2004. Subparts A and B will remain reserved in anticipation of the future need for to DoD to issue a companion rule on the subject. The amendment of 32 CFR part 117 supports a recommendation of the DoD Regulatory Reform Task Force.
