Establishing the Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector

This executive order establishes a formal interagency committee to review foreign participation in U.S. telecommunications, giving the Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security a structured process to assess national security risks in FCC licenses and applications. The Committee can recommend that the FCC deny, condition, modify, or revoke licenses based on these security reviews.
