SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of 

these meetings is provided as required 

by section 708(h)(8) of the Defense 

Production Act (DPA), 50 U.S.C. 

4558(h)(8), and consistent with 44 CFR 

part 332. 

The DPA authorizes the making of 

‘‘voluntary agreements and plans of 

action’’ with representatives of industry, 

business, and other interests to help 

provide for the national defense.1 The 

President’s authority to facilitate 

voluntary agreements with respect to 

responding to the spread of COVID–19 

within the United States was delegated 

to the Secretary of Homeland Security 

in Executive Order 13911.2 The 

Secretary of Homeland Security further 

delegated this authority to the FEMA 

Administrator.3

On August 17, 2020, after the 

appropriate consultations with the 

Attorney General and the Chairman of 

the Federal Trade Commission, FEMA 

completed and published in the Federal 

Register a ‘‘Voluntary Agreement, 

Manufacture and Distribution of Critical 

Healthcare Resources Necessary to 

Respond to a Pandemic’’ (Voluntary 

Agreement).4 Unless terminated earlier, 

the Voluntary Agreement is effective 

until August 17, 2025, and may be 

extended subject to additional approval 

by the Attorney General after 

consultation with the Chairman of the 

Federal Trade Commission. The 

Agreement may be used to prepare for 

or respond to any pandemic, including 

COVID–19, during that time. 

On December 7, 2020, the first plan of 

action under the Voluntary 

Agreement—the Plan of Action to 

Establish a National Strategy for the 

Manufacture, Allocation, and 

Distribution of Personal Protective 

Equipment (PPE) to Respond to COVID– 

19 (PPE Plan of Action)—was finalized.5

The PPE Plan of Action established 

several sub-committees under the 

Voluntary Agreement, focusing on 

different aspects of the PPE Plan of 

Action. 

On May 24, 2021, four additional 

plans of action under the Voluntary 

Agreement—the Plan of Action to 

Establish a National Strategy for the 

Manufacture, Allocation, and 

Distribution of Diagnostic Test Kits and 

other Testing Components to respond to 

COVID–19, the Plan of Action to
