I. Background

    DoD published a proposed rule in the Federal Register on March 22, 
2023, at 88 FR 17357 to amend the DFARS to implement a policy that 
would enable the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) to obtain 
export authorizations from certain contractors, specifically, when a 
contract required government quality assurance surveillance oversight 
and had delivery to, or production or performance in, government 
quality assurance countries. The DMCA policy was to require the 
contractor to provide relevant export authorizations (i.e., export 
license exemptions, export license exceptions, export licenses, or 
other approvals) to the cognizant DCMA administrative contracting 
officer along with contact information for the empowered official or 
the export point of contact. Government quality assurance countries 
include the following countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech 
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, 
Republic of Korea, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, 
Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
    The rule is withdrawn pending development of updated policy 
requirements.
