FTA Proposes Requiring 100% U.S.-Origin Components for Rolling Stock Overhauls
Client Alert | 1 min read | 05.31.12
To "reclarify" an issue the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) thought it had settled in its 2007 rulemaking, on May 21, 2012, the FTA provided notice (with opportunity to comment on or before June 20, 2012) of its interpretation that the statutory exception permitting acquisition of rolling stock with only 60% U.S.-origin components did NOT apply to overhauls, because overhauls are more akin to replacement and repairs. Engine rebuilds, on the other hand, which extend the useful life of the rolling stock, would continue to qualify for the reduced level of domestic content (but also subject, presumably, to the requirement that 60% of the subcomponents used in a rebuild must be U.S.-origin for the component to qualify as domestic).

NIST Releases Final Version of NIST SP 800-171, Revision 3
On May 14, 2024, the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) published the final versions of Special Publication (SP) 800-171 Revision 3, Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations and its companion assessment guide, NIST SP 800-171A, Revision 3 (collectively, “Rev. 3 Final Version”). While the Department of Defense (DoD) is not requiring contractors who handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to implement Rev. 3 for now, it is expected that DoD will eventually incorporate Rev. 3 into both DFARS 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting (DFARS 7012) as well as the forthcoming Cyber Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program.
