Comments Due on Equipment Authorization/Covered List
FNPRM: On October 29, the 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, as well as the definition of "critical
infrastructure"
