The bill would require a national security agency to review communications equipment and services made or provided by six named companies and certain related entities. Within one year, the agency must decide whether any pose an unacceptable risk to national security or to the safety and security of people in the United States. If the agency finds a risk, the Federal Communications Commission must add the equipment or services to its covered list. If the agency misses the deadline, the Commission must add all of them. If the agency finds no unacceptable risk, it must report its decision to Congress, and other national security agencies must review that decision. The bill also directs the Secretary of Defense to consider whether any named entities should be identified as Chinese military companies.
The bill requires reviews of specified communications equipment and services. It does not describe direct changes to individuals’ rights or services.
