Department of Defense Considers New Export Control Policy for Foreign Nationals
 
 March 21, 2002
 

The Department of Defense has announced that it is considering a new policy that could prohibit foreign nationals — even those with green cards — from working on information technology (IT) in specified “Sensitive But Unclassified” positions. The new policy would require all persons, including contractors and foreign nationals employed in specific IT sensitive-but-unclassified positions, to be subject to an investigation depending on their positions. Some foreign nationals in the most sensitive positions may not be permitted to remain in those positions. The Department has not released a copy of the draft policy and its exact scope remains unclear. Industry groups have stated that the new policy, if implemented, not only raises the costs of IT contracts with the Department, but could also present a logistical challenge to implement. These groups have requested public discussion of the proposed change. The Department has stated that it anticipates making a final decision within 60 to 90 days.
