NTIA announces the establishment of the Communications Supply Chain Risk Information Partnership (C-SCRIP) in support of the requirements of Section 8 of the Secure and Trusted Communications Network Act of 2019 (Act). The Act directs NTIA, in cooperation with other designated federal agencies, to establish a program to share supply chain security risk information with trusted providers of advanced communications service and suppliers of communications equipment or services.

On June 12, 2020, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) published a Notice and Request for public comments on Section 8 of the Secure and Trusted Communications Network Act of 2019 (Act). Section 8 of the Act directs NTIA, in cooperation with other designated federal agencies, to establish a program to share supply chain security risk information with trusted providers of advanced communications service and suppliers of communications equipment or services.

As directed by the MOBILE NOW Act of 2018, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) evaluated the feasibility of allowing commercial wireless services, on both a licensed and unlicensed basis, to share use of the radio frequency spectrum at 3100-3550 MHz, under the assumption of no changes in incumbent operations, except for possibly limiting some use of airborne radar systems over the continental United States.

This notice announces a public meeting of the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee (Committee). The Committee provides advice to the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information and NTIA on spectrum management policy matters. The meeting will be held July 30, 2020, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). This meeting will be conducted in an electronic format and open to the public via audio teleconference (866–652–3435 participant code 28570198).

NTIA requested comments in accordance with the Secure 5G and Beyond Act of 2020 to inform the development of an Implementation Plan for the National Strategy to Secure 5G. The comment period ended on 06/25/2020.

NTIA and the Department of Defense (DoD) have worked closely with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as it implements the rules governing Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) in the 3550-3700 MHz (3.5 GHz) band in the above-referenced proceeding. The collaborative approach taken by government and industry to share the 3.5 GHz band has enabled commercial access to this primary mid-band spectrum for 5G deployments.  This letter is to notify you of changes to the protection criteria for eleven designated naval port locations.

In February 2019, the American Broadband Initiative (ABI) was launched with the release of the Milestones Report, detailing the Administration’s strategy to drive changes across Federal Agencies to identify and remove barriers to broadband access and leverage public assets and resources to expand our Nation’s broadband infrastructure capacity. The Milestones Report outlined time-framed commitments from Agencies and the three “workstreams” that were created to promote accountability and focus Agencies on the implementation of the ABI’s mission.

NTIA is filing this pleading on behalf of the Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector (known informally as Team Telecom), which is composed of the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security.

Interested Executive Branch agencies submit this recommendation to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) that it partially deny the Pacific Light Cable Network (PLCN) cable landing license application with respect to PLCN’s connection to Hong Kong and with respect to PLCN’s foreign owners, Hong Kong-based Pacific Light Data Communication Co. Ltd. and China-based ultimate parent entity Dr. Peng Telecom & Media Group Co., Ltd. The Executive Branch recommends that the Commission partially grant the license application for PLCN’s U.S.
