United States of America: Foreign Adversary Communications Transparency Act (HR 906) was passed by House of Representatives

On 28 March 2025, the Foreign Adversary Communications Transparency Act (HR 906) was passed by the United States House of Representatives. The Act would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to publish a public list of entities holding FCC authorisations, licenses, or other grants of authority where a foreign government or entity from a designated adversary country holds a reportable ownership interest or exercises control. The Act would direct the FCC to issue rules within 18 months of enactment to collect information identifying such entities and to add them to the public list within one year of issuing those rules. The FCC would be required to update the list at least annually. The information collection process under the Act would be exempt from the Paperwork Reduction Act.
