Show full summary
  • Trusted and U.S. ICT vendors: The bill would produce recommendations to strengthen federal support, resources, and authorities for trusted vendors and to address market barriers. It also defines "trusted" and "not trusted" and requires a report within 1 year identifying critical ICT and industrial capacity.
  • Federal agencies and programs: The Commerce Secretary would develop a strategy that assigns lines of effort and agency responsibilities, and describes any changes to federal programs, laws, or structures needed to implement the recommendations. That strategy must be submitted 180 days after the initial report and list any additional federal resources required.
  • Providers of advanced telecommunications capability and security partners: The bill would assess whether telecom providers depend on ICT deemed "not trusted" and identify federal actions to reduce that dependence. It also requires consultation with trusted vendors and national security and regulatory officials including the Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, the Director of National Intelligence, and the FCC.
