BIS Extends Comment Period for DPAS Information Collection

The Bureau of Industry and Security extended the public comment period for an information collection involving rated orders under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System. The system is used to prioritize national defense contracts and orders to support the U.S. military or “emergency preparedness,” and in some cases, provide military or critical infrastructure assistance to foreign nations. BIS is allowing for an additional 30 days of public comments following the publication of the notice on the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website.
