The DPA confers presidential authorities to mobilize domestic industry in service of the national defense, broadly defined, including emergency preparedness. The DPA includes provisions under Title I to prioritize the acceptance of contracts, and to allocate scarce goods, materials, and services; and under Title III, to provide for the expansion of productive capacity. Title VII provides definitions and other supporting provisions. This Insight considers recent DPA actions in response to COVID-19 and is intended as a companion to CRS Insight IN 11387. See CRS Report R43767 for an in-depth discussion of DPA history and authorities. Recent DPA Implementation Actions Since May 12, a number of DPA actions have occurred or been made public: * May 12: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a voluntary agreement pursuant to Title VII of the DPA to coordinate industry cooperation. * May 13: FEMA issued its Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System to govern Title I implementation processes. * May 18: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding DPA food security implementation. * May30: The Department of Defense (DOD) reversed plans to allocate approximately 75% of the $1 billion in DPA Title III funds appropriated for health resources under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in response to the pandemic, and instead allocated $688 million for defense industrial base investments. * June 22: DOD and the International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) signed an MOU in which the DFC would support lending activities under DOD's Title III program.
