Federal Register Notice of Request for Written Comments in Support of the Department of Defense's One-Year Response to Executive Order 14017, “America's Supply Chains”

Resumo

On February 24, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order (E.O.) titled America's Supply Chains, which directs six Federal agencies to conduct a review of their respective industrial bases, with the objective to use this assessment to secure and strengthen America's supply chains. One of these directives is for the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the heads of appropriate agencies, to submit a report on supply chains for the defense industrial base, including key vulnerabilities and potential courses of action to strengthen the defense industrial base. The effort will build on the E.O. report, Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States (released October 2018) and the Annual Industrial Capabilities Report, which is mandated by the Congress.
