Review - FCC Publishes IoT Device Labeling NPRM

Today the Federal Communications Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (88 FR 58211-58229) for “Cybersecurity Labeling for Internet of Things”. Today’s NPRM notice is a summary of the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), FCC 23–65, adopted August 6, 2023, and released August 10, 2023.

Public Comments

The FCC is soliciting public comments on this proposed rulemaking. Comments may be submitted via the Commission’s website (https://www.apps.fcc.gov/​ecfs/​; PS Docket No. 23-239). Comments should be submitted by September 25th, 2023, with replies to comments submitted by October 24th, 2023.

Commentary

The FCC rulemaking process is slightly different than what is normally covered in this blog. Today’s NPRM sounds more like what other agencies call an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, with the FCC outlining the scope of a potential rule and providing an outline of the information that the Commission is looking to receive from the public and regulated community.
