What the agency says

On June 9, 2025, DHS adopted regulations governing the protection of Federal property. These regulations contained cross references to old General Services Administration (GSA) regulations that have since been rescinded. This rule corrects the DHS regulations by removing these rescinded GSA cross-references. Additionally, this rule revises the language of the section regarding photography to clarify the prohibitions on photography and recording.
