FBI-0027 Prohibition on Using a Covered Application (No TikTok on Government Devices Act) The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, enacted the No TikTok on Government Devices Act (“the Act”), which instructs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with the Administrator of General Services, the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Secretary of Defense, to develop standards and guidelines for agencies requiring the removal of TikTok from Federal information technology.

Scope pursuant to the Act, this memorandum applies to “the social networking service TikTok or any successor application or service of TikTok developed or provided by ByteDance Limited or an entity owned by ByteDance Limited” (“covered application”) and applies to all “executive agencies” (“agencies”), as that term is defined in 41 U.S.C. § 133.2 This memorandum applies to https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52222-41-service-contract-labor-standards#i52_222_41 http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title41-chapter67-front&num=0&edition=prelim https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52222-50-combating-trafficking-persons#i1056535 http://uscode.house.gov/browse.xhtml;jsessionid=114A3287C7B3359E597506A31FC855B3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52222-50-combating-trafficking-persons#i1056535 http://uscode.house.gov/browse.xhtml;jsessionid=114A3287C7B3359E597506A31FC855B3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52222-51-exemption-application-service-contract-labor-standards-contracts-maintenance-calibration-or-repair-certain-equipment-requirements#i1056685 http://uscode.house.gov/browse.xhtml;jsessionid=114A3287C7B3359E597506A31FC855B3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52222-53-exemption-application-service-contract-labor-standards-contracts-certain-services-requirements#i1056732 http://uscode.house.gov/browse.xhtml;jsessionid=114A3287C7B3359E597506A31FC855B3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52222-54-employment-eligibility-verification#i1056753 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52222-55-minimum-wages-under-executive-order-13658#i1056818 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52222-62-paid-sick-leave-under-executive-order-13706#i52_222_62 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52224-3-privacy-training#i52_224_3 http://uscode.house.gov/browse.xhtml;jsessionid=114A3287C7B3359E597506A31FC855B3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52224-3-privacy-training#i52_224_3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52225-26-contractors-performing-private-security-functions-outside-united-states#i1054921 http://uscode.house.gov/browse.xhtml;jsessionid=114A3287C7B3359E597506A31FC855B3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52226-6promoting-excess-food-donation-nonprofit-organizations#i1055065 http://uscode.house.gov/browse.xhtml;jsessionid=114A3287C7B3359E597506A31FC855B3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52226-6promoting-excess-food-donation-nonprofit-organizations#i1055065 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52247-64-preference-privately-owned-us-flag-commercial-vessels#i1046560 http://uscode.house.gov/browse.xhtml;jsessionid=114A3287C7B3359E597506A31FC855B3 https://www.acquisition.gov/content/52247-64-preference-privately-owned-us-flag-commercial-vessels#i1046560 all “information technology,” as that term is defined in 40 U.S.C. § 11101(6) (herin after referred to “IT”).

That definition reached not only IT owned or operated by agencies, but also IT “used by a contractor under a contract with the executive agency that requires the use of IT, whether expressly or “to a significant extent in the (Pub. L. No. 117-328, div. R, §§ 101-02, available at https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/housebill/2617. 2 Id. § 102(a)) performance of a service or the furnishing of a product.” That definition does not, however, “include any equipment acquired by a federal contractor incidental to a federal contract.”

Exceptions The Act permits limited exceptions to the restrictions outlined in this memorandum for law enforcement activities, national security interests and activities, and security research. Exceptions must be granted by an agency head or designee of the agency head. Agency heads (HCA) remain responsible for ensuring that all individuals with delegated authority under this policy maintain the documentation required and take all necessary actions to mitigate risk posed by covered applications. Such actions shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer for HCA approval.
