Notice of Supply Chain Risk (NOV 2013)

(a) Definition. Supply chain risk, as used in this provision, means the risk that an adversary may sabotage, maliciously introduce unwanted function, or otherwise subvert the design, integrity, manufacturing, production, distribution, installation, operation, or maintenance of a national security system (as that term is defined at 44 U.S.C. 3542(b)) so as to surveil, deny, disrupt, or otherwise degrade the function, use, or operation of such system.

(b) In order to manage supply chain risk, the Government may use the authorities provided by section 806 of Public Law 111-383.
