Amendments to the Act allow its use for energy supply, emergency preparedness, and critical infrastructure protection and require agencies to report on foreign offsets, which are incentives to foreign governments to purchase U.S. goods and services. Only Titles I, III, and VII remain in effect. In the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Congress directed GAO to review recent agency efforts to implement the DPA. This report (1) examines the extent to which agencies use DPA authorities and (2) assesses agencies' response to reporting requirements on the economic impact of foreign offsets. GAO's work is based on a review of policies and guidance for the use of DPA authorities, instances in which agencies have exercised the authorities, and the analysis used in required reports on foreign offsets. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-854/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-854.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-854/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-854.pdf GAO-08-854 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-854 Other Written Product GAO-08-854; Defense Production Act: Agencies Lack Policies and Guidance for Use of Key Authorities; Agency missions Agency proceedings Agricultural industry Allocation (Government accounting) Contract authority Critical infrastructure Data collection Defense agreements Defense capabilities Defense economic analysis Defense industry Defense procurement Federal agencies Foreign governments Homeland security National defense operations Policy evaluation Prime contracts Reporting requirements Requirements definition Strategic planning Policies and procedures program goals or objectives Public Law 81-774 Public Law 103-337 Public Law 106-113 Public Law 108-195 Public Law 109-417 Public Law 110-181
