IG Report Whacks DCMA's Oversight of Contractors' Business Systems
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 10.13.15
On October 1, the DoD IG released a report entitled, "Evaluation of Defense Contract Management Agency Actions on Reported DoD Contractor Business System Deficiencies," asserting that DCMA contracting officers "repeatedly" failed to comply with DFARS requirements involving reported business system deficiencies. The report, which is similar to one issued on June 29 regarding DCMA's treatment of estimating system deficiencies (available here), focused its criticisms on DCMA, despite DCMA's comments noting that DCAA, rather than DCMA, is responsible for determining whether a "significant" business system deficiency exists.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final rule amending 14 CFR Part 234 that fundamentally changes how airlines report the causes of flight delays and cancellations. Effective October 19, 2026, the rule implements Section 511(b) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 by creating a new reporting category, the “Section 511(b) category,” for ten specific events that Congress determined are not attributable to airline control. The rule simultaneously narrows the existing "Air Carrier" reporting category by expressly excluding those same ten events.
