    The U.S. Department of Commerce has introduced new regulations to strengthen the security of the Information and Communications Technology and Services (ICTS) supply chain in accordance with Executive Order 13873. Effective March 22, 2021, these rules will allow the Secretary of Commerce to review, block, or impose conditions on transactions between U.S. and foreign entities that may pose security risks due to involvement with foreign adversaries. The regulations outline a process for reviewing transactions and require entities to retain records related to a transaction if it is under review. Additionally, certain countries such as China, Iran, and Russia are identified as foreign adversaries, and the rule aims to protect U.S. national security by mitigating risks associated with these and other foreign entities.

The demonstration aims to reduce the cost and hassle of sending and storing paper documents and to prevent documents from getting lost. Public comments on this demonstration are invited until February 3, 2025, after which HUD will decide whether to continue the program.
