> In response to this threat, the White House convened an executive branch interagency body with
appropriate national security expertise, see 47 U.S.C. § 1601(c)(1), comprising agencies that
included appropriate national security agencies, id. § 1601(c)(4), which determined jointly and
severally that: All foreign-produced advanced robotic devices pose an unacceptable risk to the
national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons and should be
included on the FCC’s Covered List, unless the Department of War (DOW) transmits to the FCC
a specific determination that a given foreign-produced advanced robotic device, or a class of
such devices, does not pose such risks. The interagency group and the agencies comprising it
determined that foreign-produced advanced robotic devices presented the specific unacceptable
risks of (a) posing a supply chain vulnerability that could disrupt U.S. economic and national
security, and (b) creating a cybersecurity risk that threatens the security of critical infrastructure
and thus the safety and security of U.S. persons. > > To facilitate this transition period, entities that produce advanced robotic devices in a foreign
country are encouraged to apply for Conditional Approvals (Annex A) which, if approved, will
allow such producers to continue to receive FCC authorization for their products while they work
to onshore manufacturing and address the U.S. government’s national security concerns
described above. |
