The Department of Defense (DoD) issued a final rule on Covered Telecommunications Equipment or Services that implements Section 1656 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91).
The regulations promulgated under the rule prohibit DoD from buying any equipment, system or service that uses certain Chinese or Russian telecommunications equipment or services in connection with DoD s nuclear deterrence and homeland defense missions. According to DoD, this will increase the security of systems and critical technology, and is structured to align with the broader, government-wide implementation of Section 889(a)(1)(A) (Section 889 Part A) of the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act in the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
