On Oct. 21, 2024, the OMB Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) concluded its regulatory review of the long-awaited Federal Acquisition Regulation Controlled Unclassified Information Rule (FAR CUI Rule), clearing the proposed rule’s path for publication in the Federal Register in 2024.
The FAR CUI Rule is being issued pursuant to Executive Order 13556, which directed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and later delegated the Information Security Oversight Office, to implement uniform CUI program requirements for all federal contracts. Fourteen years later, the final step of NARA’s three-part implementation plan has cleared OMB review and will be published for public review and comments.
