Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved an interim final rule (IFR) from Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) on “FAR Case 2024-002, Prohibition on Covered Unmanned Aircraft Systems by Covered Foreign Entities”. The IFR was sent to OIRA on June 6th, 2024.
According to the Spring 2024 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:
“This rule prohibits agencies from procuring covered unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or products or services in connection with the operation thereof, for systems manufactured or assembled by a covered foreign entity, unless an exemption or waiver applies. This rule is issued pursuant to Subtitle B (American Security Drone Act of 2023), Title XVIII, of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024.”
I will probably not be covering this rulemaking in any detail,
but I will certainly announce its publication in the appropriate ‘Short Takes’
blog post when it is published.
