  • 2025-00202 — Department of State Acquisition Regulation: Nondiscrimination in Foreign Assistance; Withdrawal of Two NPRMs
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1401
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Department of State decided to withdraw two proposed rules that aimed to prevent discrimination in using foreign assistance funds. These proposals, published in January 2024, addressed contracting and grants but are being pulled back because the public raised concerns needing more study, particularly regarding faith-based organizations. The department is taking more time to consider comments about ensuring non-discrimination and clear application of waivers, but they aren't changing their stance on the Secretary’s authority regarding these funds. As such, no final rules based on these proposals will be issued.
