implement the Presidential
Memorandum regarding ‘‘The Mexico
City Policy,’’ issued on January 23,
2017. The Secretary of State approved
on May 9, 2017, a plan, called
‘‘Protecting Life in Global Health
Assistance’’ (PLGHA), to specify the
manner in which U.S. Government
Departments and Agencies will apply
the provision of the ‘‘Mexico City
Policy’’ to foreign non-governmental
organizations that receive U.S. funding
for global health assistance. The rule
proposed amendments to limit the
foreign contractors eligible to receive
global health assistance funding to only
those that agree to abide by the terms of
the PLGHA policy in their contract or
subcontract.
On January 28, 2021, the
Memorandum on Protecting Women’s
Health at Home and Abroad was issued
by President Biden which revoked the
Presidential Memorandum regarding
‘‘The Mexico City Policy.’’ Accordingly,
the proposed rule published at 85 FR
56549 on September 14, 2020, is
withdrawn and FAR Case 2018–002 is
closed.

‘‘FAR Case 2011–001’’.
April 26,
2011, DoD, GSA, and NASA proposed to
amend the FAR to revise regulatory
coverage on organizational conflicts of
interest (OCI) and provide additional
coverage regarding contractor access to
nonpublic information (76 FR 23236).
The proposed rule sought public
comment on a revised approach to OCI
and unequal access to nonpublic
information, as well as the OCI
framework for major defense acquisition
programs implemented in the Defense
Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) via DFARS Case
2009–D015 (75 FR 20954, April 22,
2010).
Given the amount of time that has
passed since publication of the
proposed rule, and potential changed
circumstances, a decision has been
made not to proceed with finalization of
the FAR rule. Accordingly, the proposed
rule published at 76 FR 23236 on April
26, 2011, is withdrawn and FAR Case
2011–001 is closed. Consideration of
any future amendments to the FAR
related to organizational conflicts of
interest or unequal access to nonpublic
information will be accomplished under
a new FAR case.
