Comment on FR Doc # 2026-09067

Summary: Counsel for a defense industrial base supplier opposes the proposed rule, arguing that it exceeds the authority of section 847 of the NDAA by imposing burdensome pre-offer filing requirements, automatic NISS eligibility bars, and unilateral mitigation structures. The commenter recommends conforming the rule to the statutory minimum, providing risk-tiered treatment for allied nations, and ensuring that mitigation processes are negotiated rather than unilaterally imposed.
