National Archives Issues Non-FAR-Based Guidance for Controlled Unclassified Information
Client Alert | 1 min read | 02.13.18
The Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) within the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has issued guidance relevant to contractors and other non-executive branch entities concerning controlled unclassified information (CUI). Specifically, the ISOO issued CUI Notice 2018-01 regarding information sharing agreements with non-executive branch entities that are not governed by the forthcoming CUI Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause, including certain contracts, grants, licenses, and memoranda of understanding. Importantly, the ISOO guidance provides both mandatory and recommended language for inclusion in future information sharing agreements to help ensure the appropriate handling and safeguarding of CUI. While we continue to await a proposed FAR Clause regarding CUI, contractors should benefit from the additional clarity that this ISOO guidance brings in standardizing CUI provisions for non-FAR based agreements.

On August 15, 2025, the Treasury Department and IRS released updated guidance concerning Beginning of Construction requirements to qualify for clean energy tax credits. This new guidance is critical for developers to consider as they rush to qualify for the tax credits before they expire entirely. The much-anticipated guidance followed the July 7, 2025 Executive Order 14315, Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources (“July 7, 2025 Executive Order”), which signaled that the Trump Administration was planning to strictly enforce the termination of production and investment tax credits for solar and wind facilities that are set to expire under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB Act), covered in more detail here. The new guidance comes at a time when many in the industry are struggling to keep up with the myriad ways that the new administration is working to roll back wind and solar tax credits, leaving developers to piece through the recent guidance to determine how best to structure and invest in clean energy projects given the volatile position of the current administration vis-a-vis wind and solar energy.
