NTIA Policy and Cybersecurity Coordination Act

This bill creates the Office of Policy Development and Cybersecurity within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), establishing an Associate Administrator to lead it. The office will develop market-based policies to promote innovation, competition, and digital inclusion in communications technologies, conduct studies on internet access, and coordinate cybersecurity and privacy policies with stakeholders. It requires the NTIA to collaborate with security researchers, service providers, and small/rural businesses, while advising on cybersecurity policy impacts for the Department of Commerce and Congress. The bill directly affects the NTIA’s internal operations and its engagement with the communications industry, internet service providers, and cybersecurity stakeholders. It does not create new regulations but reorganizes existing NTIA functions to better address cybersecurity and policy coordination.
