History

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) publishes a list of equipment and services deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to national security as covered by the Secure Networks Act (FCC).

The Bureau of Industry and Security within the United States Department of Commerce (USDC) maintains an entity list of federally banned corporations that restricts over 1,000 foreign entities from acquiring U.S. technology (USDC).

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) works in coordination with the FCC and other agencies to enforce bands on telecommunications and video surveillance equipment from companies deemed a threat to national security (CISA).

The Federal Acquisition Security Council (FASC) identifies and recommends the removal of information technology and services from the federal supply chain that pose national security risks (FASC).
