The NDAA FY2013 Title XVII authorizes remediation for TIP by which parties?

• A. It creates a new TIP commission
• B. It mandates universal TIP insurance
• C. It authorizes remedial actions for TIP by contractors, subcontractors, guarantees, or sub-guarantees
• D. It imposes export controls on TIP-related goods

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how the NDAA FY2013 Title XVII handles Trafficking in Persons in the context of government contracting. The act gives authority to address TIP not by creating new commissions or insurance schemes or by slapping export controls, but by directing remediation actions at the entities actually involved in fulfilling contracts. Specifically, it authorizes the government to require remediation by prime contractors, their subcontractors, and any guarantees or sub-guarantees tied to the contract. This means if TIP is found in the procurement process or its execution, these parties can be compelled to take corrective actions—such as implementing remediation plans, training, reporting, or other corrective measures—to cure the TIP-related issues and ensure ongoing compliance. The other options describe structures or controls that aren’t the remediation mechanism defined in this title.
