NTIA Policy and Cybersecurity Coordination Act

HR 1345 establishes the Office of Policy Development and Cybersecurity within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), creating a dedicated unit to address cybersecurity and communications policy. The new office, led by an Associate Administrator, will develop market-based policies promoting innovation and digital inclusion, conduct studies on internet access, coordinate multistakeholder cybersecurity guidance, and advocate for secure network supply chains. This bill directly affects the NTIA’s internal operations and its policy work, shifting focus to cybersecurity coordination and commercialization of communications technologies. It redesignates the existing Associate Administrator for Policy Analysis and Development into this new cybersecurity-focused role without changing the position’s holder. The bill does not impose new requirements on businesses or the public but restructures NTIA’s internal policy processes.
