What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to publish a yearly list of companies that have FCC licenses or permissions and are connected to China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia. This includes companies organized in those countries, their subsidiaries, or those countries' governments. For companies with licenses related to underwater communication cables or licenses won through auctions, the FCC must list any that are owned or controlled by one of these foreign-connected entities. For all other types of FCC license holders, the FCC must first create rules to collect information about who owns those companies and then add any with ties to those four countries to the public list.
