Proposed Rule Grants Broad Authority to Block Information and Communications Technology Services Transactions
November 27, 2019
On November 27, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a proposed rule and request for comment relating to its implementation of the May 15, 2019 Executive Order (“EO”) 13873, “Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain.” The proposed rule casts a wide net in terms of potentially impacted companies, equipment and technology. By issuing the proposed rule the day before Thanksgiving and closing the comment just after Christmas – comments are due by December 27, 2019 – the opportunity for input from affected industry is limited.
