On Monday, October 28, SAFE’s Coalition for Reimagined Mobility (ReMo) submitted comments in response to the Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain: Connected Vehicles Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Department) Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
ReMo supports the Department of Commerce’s proposal to secure connected vehicle supply chains from foreign adversaries and furthermore commends measures to address the national security risks posed by foreign adversaries, particularly the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Russia.
ReMo’s response outlines several areas where the proposed rule can be refined to strengthen its protections, particularly around clarifying definitions of key terms, addressing supply chain complexities, and ensuring the rule’s scope is comprehensive without disproportionately impacting U.S. businesses.
Moreover, ReMo emphasizes the importance of clear, actionable guidance that addresses the evolving threats posed by foreign adversaries and the need to protect critical sectors like transportation from exploitation.
The proposed rule is a significant step forward, and ReMo urges the Department to continue identifying additional actions necessary to secure not only the transportation sector but also other key industries that are integral to national security.
The rapid evolution of connected vehicle technologies, combined with the complexities of global supply chains, will require ongoing vigilance and adaptability. ReMo commits to ongoing collaboration to bolster supply chain security and meaningfully mitigate national security implications across the connected vehicle ecosystem.
