SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: Section 889(a)(1)(B) of the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 (Pub. L. 
115-232) prohibits contracting with entities that use certain 
telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment. This 
bulletin makes Federal agencies aware of this prohibition and 
recommends that agencies establish policies that facilitate compliance 
when a Government-issued fleet charge card is used to acquire fuel or 
maintenance services for Government motor vehicles.
    This bulletin also recommends policies and practices agencies and 
charge card users may implement to lessen the security risks associated 
with fleet charge card transactions.
