The VA has complied with requirements and regulations, finding no need for public comment or impact on small entities.

    Reading Time:about 18 minutes

    The Department of Defense (DoD) is implementing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) in line with a section of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. This change extends the period during which the DoD can validate certain restrictions on technical data and software from three to six years, allowing exceptions if restrictions are fraudulently claimed. The rule aligns terminology with statutory language and aims to provide clarity and consistency, affecting small entities with DoD contracts but not imposing new reporting or compliance requirements. The rule is effective starting January 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Defense Department made a new rule that says they have more time, up to six years, to check if companies are using secret tech and software rules correctly, but they're keeping some confusing words because they match old rules.
