The Defense Acquisition Regulations System under the Department of Defense plans to revise and extend a rule related to the use of commercial satellite services from certain foreign entities. They aim to gather information to determine if companies offering these services fall under specific prohibitions. The public is invited to submit comments by February 18, 2021. This initiative requires paperwork that businesses must complete to comply with the rule, affecting about 235 respondents with an expected total response time of 58 hours annually.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Defense wants to make sure that the people they buy satellite services from are not from certain countries they're not supposed to do business with. They are asking for public opinions on how they plan to collect this information, and they expect only a small number of people to respond, which means it might not cover everybody it should.
