DOD/DARC RIN: 0750-AM20 Publication ID: Fall 2024 
Title: ●Limitation on Certain Institutes of Higher Education (DFARS Case 2024-D023) 
Abstract:

DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to implement sections 1044 and 1045 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, which amend section 1062 of the NDAA for FY 2021. Section 1062 prohibited the use of funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for any fiscal year for DoD for an institution of higher education that hosted a Confucius Institute, defined as a cultural institute directly or indirectly funded by the government of the People’s Republic of China. In addition, section 1062 provided the authority to waive the prohibition. Section 1044 of the NDAA for FY 2024 amends section 1062(d) of the NDAA for FY 2021 by revising the definition of "Confucius Institute." Section 1045 of the NDAA for FY 2024 amends section 1062(b) of the NDAA for FY 2021 to add a termination date of October 1, 2026, for the authority to waive the prohibition. The final rule implements the revised definition of "Confucius Institute" and the termination date for the waiver authority. This RIN is merged with RIN 0750-AL41, because both RINs address the same subject.
