Key Wireless Deadlines

Reply Comments Due for Equipment Authorization/Covered List FNPRM: On October 29, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) as part of its ongoing efforts to implement the Secure Networks Act passed in March 2020. The FNPRM seeks comment on what components, if installed in a device, could lead to the same unacceptable risk as covered equipment. The FNPRM also asks for comment on the definition of "critical infrastructure" as used in the Covered List, as well as comment generally on whether to revise the Commission's marketing and importation rules, which could have effects well beyond the FCC's Covered List. Reply Comments are due February 2.
