                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.
