BIS Proposes Changes to Defense Priorities and Allocations System

The Bureau of Industry and Security issued a proposed rule this week to amend the agency’s Defense Priorities and Allocations System regulation. Proposed changes include clarifying the “existing standards and procedures” by which BIS may provide special priorities assistance, providing “transparency and differentiation between other departments’ priorities” and the Commerce Department’s jurisdiction, and other technical edits. Public comments on the changes are due March 8.
