DOD Amends DFARS re: Export-Controlled Items

On July 21, 2008, the Department of Defense (DoD) issued an interim rule in the Federal Register amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for complying with export control laws and regulations when performing DoD contracts. The rule recognizes contractor responsibilities to comply with existing Department of Commerce and Department of State regulations.

DoD published a proposed rule at
70 Fed. Reg. 39,976 on July 12, 2005, to address requirements for preventing unauthorized disclosure of export-controlled information and technology under DoD contracts. In consideration of the public comments received, DoD published a second proposed rule at 71 Fed. Reg. 46,434. In the Federal Register publication today, DoD sets out the changes from the interim rule and addresses the public comments received from 167 persons or organizations in response to the second proposed rule.
