SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of
these meetings is provided as required
by section 708(h)(8) of the Defense
Production Act (DPA), 50 U.S.C.
4558(h)(8), and consistent with 44 CFR
part 332.
The DPA authorizes the making of
‘‘voluntary agreements and plans of
action’’ with representatives of industry,
business, and other interests to help
provide for the national defense.1 The
President’s authority to facilitate
voluntary agreements with respect to
responding to the spread of COVID–19
within the United States was delegated
to the Secretary of Homeland Security
in Executive Order 13911.2 The
Secretary of Homeland Security further
delegated this authority to the FEMA
Administrator.3
On August 17, 2020, after the
appropriate consultations with the
Attorney General and the Chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission, FEMA
completed and published in the Federal
Register a ‘‘Voluntary Agreement,
Manufacture and Distribution of Critical
Healthcare Resources Necessary to
Respond to a Pandemic’’ (Voluntary
Agreement).4 Unless terminated earlier,
the Voluntary Agreement is effective
until August 17, 2025, and may be

4 85 FR 50035 (Aug. 17, 2020). The Attorney
General, in consultation with the Chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission, made the required
finding that the purpose of the voluntary agreement
may not reasonably be achieved through an
agreement having less anticompetitive effects or
without any voluntary agreement and published the
finding in the Federal Register on the same day. 85

extended subject to additional approval
by the Attorney General after
consultation with the Chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission. The
Agreement may be used to prepare for
or respond to any pandemic, including
COVID–19, during that time.
On December 7, 2020, the first plan of
action under the Voluntary
Agreement—the Plan of Action to
Establish a National Strategy for the
Manufacture, Allocation, and
Distribution of Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) to Respond to COVID–
19 (PPE Plan of Action)—was finalized.5
The PPE Plan of Action established
several sub-committees under the
Voluntary Agreement, focusing on
different aspects of the PPE Plan of
Action.
On May 24, 2021, four additional
plans of action under the Voluntary
Agreement—the Plan of Action to
Establish a National Strategy for the
Manufacture, Allocation, and
Distribution of Diagnostic Test Kits and
other Testing Components to respond to
COVID–19, the Plan of Action to
Establish a National Strategy for the
Manufacture, Allocation, and
Distribution of Drug Products, Drug
Substances, and Associated Medical
Devices to respond to COVID–19, the
Plan of Action to Establish a National
Strategy for the Manufacture,
Allocation, and Distribution of Medical
Devices to respond to COVID–19, and
the Plan of Action to Establish a
National Strategy for the Manufacture,
Allocation, and Distribution of Medical
Gases to respond to COVID–19—were
finalized.6 These plans of action
established several sub-committees
under the Voluntary Agreement,
focusing on different aspects of each
plan of action.
