This bill amends the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act to establish the Office of Policy Development and Cybersecurity within the NTIA. This new office, led by an Associate Administrator, is tasked with overseeing and conducting national communications and information policy analysis and development for the internet and various communications technologies, aiming to strengthen the agency's role in digital policy. The office's core duties include developing and advocating for market-based policies that promote innovation, competition, consumer access, and economic growth. A significant focus is placed on cybersecurity, involving the coordination of transparent, consensus-based, multistakeholder processes to create guidance for cybersecurity and privacy policies, and promoting collaboration between security researchers and communications providers. It will also advocate for policies that enhance the security and resilience of communications networks and their supply chains. Furthermore, the office will work to accelerate innovation and commercialization in communications technologies, identify and address barriers to trust and security, and provide public access to relevant data. It emphasizes strengthening collaboration on these policies across federal and state agencies, with a specific focus on the needs of small businesses and rural communities.
