NTIA is repealing its regulations governing the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program (PTFP). The PTFP was a competitive grant program that helped public broadcasting stations, state and local governments, Indian Tribes, and nonprofit organizations to construct public television and radio stations. As of Fiscal Year 2011, no funds have been available for PTFP grants.

This report identifies the common themes found in the responses to NTIA’s “Request for Comments on Promoting Stakeholder Action Against Botnets and Other Automated Threats.” It is not a comprehensive discussion of all comments, nor does it reflect a government decision. The full text of all comments is available here.

These documents were drafted by stakeholders in an open and transparent process to address key aspects of Internet of Things (IoT) security, and were approved by a consensus of participating stakeholders.

Congress authorized the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), an independent authority within NTIA, to assess and collect, among other funds, three specific types of fees. By law, NTIA must review and approve these fees on an annual basis. This final rule describes NTIA’s overarching scope, boundaries, and guidelines for its FirstNet fee review and approval process as mandated by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 and is effective on August 29, 2017.
