Protecting Our Communications Networks by Promoting Transparency Regarding Foreign Adversary Control

Document 2026-06992 is a Final Rule published by the Federal Communications Commission in the Federal Register on April 10, 2026, with an effective date of June 9, 2026. In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) addresses the risks of foreign adversary control of Commission-granted licenses and authorizations by adopting rules requiring a broad range of holders of such licenses, authorizations, or approvals to attest whether they are owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary, and, if so, to disclose additional information about such foreign adversary control. Among other things, the Commission defines categories of licenses and authorizations that are subject to the rules, and establishes a streamlined process by which license and authorization holders should file their foreign adversary control attestations and disclosures.
