Bill overview
The Secure Equipment Act of 2021 directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revise its equipment authorization procedures. Specifically, the FCC will no longer review or approve applications for equipment deemed to pose a national security risk, aligning with the Secure and Trusted Communications Network Act of 2019. This legislation aims to prevent the use of potentially insecure communications equipment within the United States. The FCC is required to initiate a rulemaking process within 60 days of the bill’s enactment to implement these changes.
