SUMMARY: DoD is proposing to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for preventing unauthorized disclosure of export-controlled information and technology under DoD contracts.
DATES: Comments on the proposed rule should be submitted in writing to the address shown below on or before September 12, 2005, to be considered in the formation of the final rule.
Included in the proposed clause is the following:
(d) The Contractor shall maintain an effective export compliance
program. The program must include adequate controls over physical,
visual, and electronic access to export-controlled information and
technology to ensure that access by foreign firms and individuals is
restricted as required by applicable Federal laws, Executive orders,
and regulations.
(1) The access control plan shall include unique badging
requirements for foreign nationals and foreign persons and
segregated work areas for export-controlled information and
technology.
(2) The Contractor shall not allow access by foreign nationals
or foreign persons to export-controlled information and technology
without obtaining an export license, other authorization, or
exemption.
Please bring this notice to the attention of the appropriate people within your institutions and associations. Take the time to understand how this proposed clause could impact the ability of your scientists and engineers to perform research for the Department of Defense.
