FCC Seeks Comment on Proposals to Modify Supply Chain 

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that the Commission has voted to seek comment on several proposals to modify its Secure and Trusted Network Reimbursement Program rules to help protect the safety and security of U.S. communications networks. The proposals seek to modify these rules to align with the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which appropriated $1.895 billion to remove, replace, and dispose of communications equipment and services that pose a national security threat. Today’s Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking would help expedite removal of harmful equipment and services from our nation’s communications networks.
