Beating Others to the Punch, DHS Proposes CUI Changes to Acquisition Regulations
Client Alert | 1 min read | 02.07.17
On the last full day of the Obama Administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a proposed rule that would make several amendments to the Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) regarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Despite recent developments, the proposed rule is open for comment until March 20, 2017, and seeks to impose several obligations, including: (1) contractors handling CUI under a contract must be in compliance with a bevy of DHS policies and procedures at the time of contract award; (2) contractors operating federal information systems must meet numerous information security obligations prior to handling CUI on those systems; (3) contractors must report known or suspected incidents affecting CUI within one to eight hours, depending on the type of CUI at issue; and (4) contractors must adhere to specific breach notification and credit monitoring requirements in response to incidents affecting personally identifiable information (PII), a subset of CUI.

Important EU Court Judgment Clarifies Rules on Interest Due in Cartel Damages Cases
In a judgment that will have direct and immediate consequences, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has clarified that for all competition damages actions brought after 26 December 2014, interest runs from the date on which the harm occurred. The ruling addressed two important questions: (1) whether national provisions implementing Article 3(2) of the EU Damages Directive — which requires interest to run from the date harm occurred —apply to cases in which the harm preceded the adoption of those provisions; and (2) how the date of harm should be determined in cartel cases involving the purchase of goods at inflated prices.
