I. Background

DoD published an interim rule in the Federal Register at 75 FR 35684 on June 23, 2010, to implement changes required by Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 09-019, "Policy Guidance for Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI)," which required conforming changes to the DFARS. The public comment period closed August 23, 2010, and no public comments were received. DoD has therefore adopted the interim rule as a final rule without change.
