FAR Sends CUI NPRM to OMB

Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs announced that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking from FAR on “Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2017-016, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)”. This rulemaking has been under consideration since 2017.

According to the Fall 2023 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:

“This rule will apply the controlled unclassified information (CUI) program requirements in Federal contracts in a uniform manner to protect CUI. This rule is one element of a larger strategy to improve the Government’s efforts to identify, deter, protect against, detect, and respond to increasing sophisticated threat actions targeting Federal contractors. This rule is being issued in accordance with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) regulations implementing the CUI program per Executive Order 13556 issued November 4, 2010, as implemented in NARA’s implementing regulations.”
