BIS Sends UAS Supply Chain Security IFR to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) from the DOC’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) on “Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain: Unmanned Aircraft Systems”. The advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published on January 3rd, 2025.

According to the entry for this rulemaking in the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda:

“In this Interim Final Rule (IFR), the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) will implement a rule regulating information and communications technology and services (ICTS) in the Unmanned Aircraft (UA) supply chain. This IFR will build upon BIS’s advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) issued on January 3, 2025, that sought public comment on questions related to transactions involving ICTS integral to UAS that are designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of foreign adversaries identified at 15 CFR 791.4.”
