It also assigns responsibilities and establishes procedures for incident reporting, use of and accountability for equipment, rules for the use of force, and a process for administrative action or the removal, as appropriate, of PSCs and PSC personnel. For the Department of Defense, this IFR supplements DoD Instruction 3020.41, "Contractor Personnel Authorized to Accompany the U.S. Armed Forces," which provides guidance for all DoD contractors operating in contingency operations. This part is of critical importance. It is being published as an Interim Final Rule because there is insufficient policy and guidance regulating the actions of DoD and other governmental PSCs and their movements in the operational area. It will procedurally close existing gaps in the oversight of Private Security Contractors (PSCs), ensure compliance with laws and regulations pertaining to Inherently Governmental functions, and ensure proper performance by armed contractors. The expansion of troops in Afghanistan will result in a corresponding increase in the number of PSCs performing in that Area of Operations. This part is required to ensure implementation of necessary guidance for all U.S.G. PSCs across the CENTCOM area of responsibility. Further, the publication of this IFR is required to meet the mandate of Section 862 of the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act. The Congress has expressed continuing concern that regulations for the oversight of PSCs are not yet in place. 74 FR 34690 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2009-07-17/E9-17059 E9-17059 FR17JY09-3 5001-06-P DOD-2008-OS-0125/RIN 0790-AI38 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2009-07-17/E9-17059 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-07-17/html/E9-17059.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-07-17/pdf/E9-17059.pdf Contracts Security Measures 5 p. 34690 34694 74 FR 34690 Title 32 Part 159 32 CFR Part 159 Private Security Contractors (PSCs) Operating in Contingency Operations; Federal Register Vol. 74, Issue RULE E9-17059 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Office of the Secretary 2009-07-17 2009-08-31 DOD-2008-OS-0125/RIN 0790-AI38 5001-06-P E9-17059 Interim final rule.
