🚨 𝗕𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗣 𝗕𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗣 🚨 📣 𝗖𝗠𝗠𝗖 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧 📣 ⚠ 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗟 ⚠ Well folks, they really did it and I got a raven in the middle of vacay. Just 185 days after the CMMC proposed rule was published, the DoD has officially submitted the 32 CFR CMMC program rule and all supporting documentation to OIRA for final review. This is the last step before publication of the final rule in the Federal Register. OIRA has up to 90 - 120 days for their review. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 - 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿. Once published, there will be a delay of ~60 days before the final rule is "effective". At that point, that's it. The CMMC program will be official. A couple of notes: - DoD ripped through 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟭,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, made their edits, and officially submitted the final rule in six months and two days so the odds of any major changes from the proposed rule in response to public comments is extremely low. - The rule is officially in the queue well ahead of the November election and I wouldn't be surprised to see OIRA wrap up well before the 90 day mark. - For those keeping score at home DoD pumped out this final rule 𝟱𝟱% 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 (127 business days instead of 283). I hope companies have been using the last several years of prep time wisely. “𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘸𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘥” - Warren Buffet Happy Friday 🚨 𝗕𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗣 𝗕𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗣 🚨 📣 𝗖𝗠𝗠𝗖 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧 📣 ⚠ 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗟 ⚠
