    Reading Time:about 36 minutes

    The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and NASA have issued a final rule that updates the Federal Acquisition Regulation to comply with a section of the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018. This rule mandates that domestic air carriers contracting with the federal government to provide passenger air transportation must submit annual reports with details on training employees to recognize human trafficking, notifications received about potential human trafficking instances, and any actions taken in response. The new requirement applies to commercial services contracts but excludes contracts for commercial products and those awarded by the Department of Defense. The regulation aims to support the fight against human trafficking by ensuring air carriers are vigilant and report suspicious activities.
