Final Rule on Supply Chain Risk Fails to Provide Additional Guidance, Protection, or Relief from Uncertain Application
Client Alert | 1 min read | 11.02.15
On October 30, DoD published a final rule (a) requiring evaluation of supply chain risk when acquiring information technology that is either a covered National Security System ("NSS"), part of a covered NSS, or in support of a covered NSS; and (b) authorizing DoD to exclude primes or subs from a particular procurement if they fail to mitigate identified supply chain risks adequately. DoD made relatively modest changes to the 2013 interim rule (e.g., removing the flow-down requirement applicable to subs at any tier) but largely rejected industry input (e.g., declining to identify specific standards or controls to mitigate supply chain risk and declining to create a mechanism for challenging exclusion from a particular source selection).

New FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule Amendments
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) recently announced that it approved final amendments to its Telemarketing Sales Rule (“TSR”), broadening the rule’s coverage to inbound calls for technical support (“Tech Support”) services. For example, if a Tech Support company presents a pop-up alert (such as one that claims consumers’ computers or other devices are infected with malware or other problems) or uses a direct mail solicitation to induce consumers to call about Tech Support services, that conduct would violate the amended TSR.
