The U.S. Chamber of Commerce welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Federal Communications Commission’s (the FCC’s or the Commission’s) proposed rule on Cybersecurity Labeling for Internet of Things (IoT), including the short extension of the comment and reply comment periods.

For several years, the Chamber has advocated for the development, sales, and use of strong IoT in public and private markets. We appreciate the White House’s efforts this summer to encourage leading electronics and appliance manufacturers and retailers to make voluntary commitments to increase the cybersecurity of smart devices and help consumers choose products that are less vulnerable to cyberattack.

  1. Remarkable Progress Is Being Made Toward Strengthening IoT Cybersecurity
  2. The Commission Should Interpret Its Authority to Set Requirements With Humility
  3. Protections and Preemption Are Missing From the FCC’s Proposal
