On March 30, 2023, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or
Commission) released an Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on international section 214 authorizations (the Draft Order and Draft
NPRM), which governs international telecommunications service. This is
the latest effort in the agency's evolving role in national security
issues. The Draft NPRM proposes “comprehensive changes” to the FCC's
rules, which it describes as “another important step to protect the
nation's telecommunications infrastructure from threats in an evolving
national security and law enforcement landscape.” Because the FCC's
proposals would affect any company offering international services
originating or terminating in the United States, a broad range of
entities could be impacted. This includes any telecommunications
provider, such as satellite and wireless providers, as well as private
equity firms and others investing capital in such entities.
