DFARS sets time DoD contractors have to request information release

Defense Department contractors must now submit requests to release  fundamental research from a project 10 days before doing so, an addition to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) says.

The DFARS says a DoD contractor can’t release to anyone outside its own  organization any unclassified information pertaining to the contract or the  program related to the contract unless the information was already in the public  domain or a request for approval is granted. Requests for approval should  identify the specific DoD information to be released, the medium to be used and  the purpose for the release.

The change regarding fundamental research was previously published as part of  a proposed  rule proposed in 2011 having to with safeguarding unclassified DoD  Information. Under the previously proposed rule, contractors would have had 45  days to submit the request before the information is to be released.
