SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking (available at: 
<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/National-Action-Plan-to-Combat-Human-Trafficking.pdf">https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/National-Action-Plan-to-Combat-Human-Trafficking.pdf</a>) Priority Action 1.3.1 calls on 
the Chief Acquisition Officers to support a public outreach session 
hosted by the SPOG Procurement and Supply Chains Committee for 
contracting companies, non-governmental organizations, international 
partners, associates of state, local, tribal, and territorial 
officials, and any interested parties to build understanding and 
awareness about the anti-trafficking requirements of the FAR. Policy 
officials from the SPOG will review recent efforts to combat human 
trafficking in the Federal supply chain and invite members of the 
public to provide input on ways to strengthen implementation of anti-
trafficking requirements in Federal acquisition. Topics will include, 
but not be limited to the following: (1) experience with OMB Memorandum 
M-20-01, Anti-Trafficking Risk Management Best Practices & Mitigation 
Considerations, (2) trainings and educational opportunities for 
government and contractors, (3) using internal government findings, 
such as the Department of Labor's List of Products Produced by Forced 
or Indentured Child Labor, to analyze supply chains, and (4) 
developments in combating trafficking in supply chains that would be 
helpful to apply to federal procurement. Meeting Registration
