Abstract: This information collection supports implementation of Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232) for the leasing of real property (lease acquisitions) and commercial solutions openings (CSOs). This section prohibits the head of an executive agency from procuring, obtaining, extending or renewing a contract with contractors that will provide or use covered telecommunication equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as a critical technology as part of any system, unless an exception applies or a waiver has been granted.

Emergency Justfication: Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232) prohibits executive agencies from entering into, extending, or renewing contracts with any entity that uses equipment, systems, or services that use telecommunications equipment or services from certain named companies as a substantial or essential component or critical technology as part of any system. GSA cannot comply with the normal clearance procedures because public harm is reasonably likely to result if current clearance procedures are followed. Specifically, authorizing collection of this information will ensure that GSA does not enter into leases or contracts that are in violation of the prohibition in section 889(a)(1)(A) or enter into, extend, or renew contracts with any entity that uses equipment, systems, or services in violation of section 889(a)(1)(B).
