House Communications Supply Chain Security, Spectrum Legislative Hearing Postponed

The House Commerce Committee said it's postponing the Communications Subcommittee's planned Tuesday hearing on supply chain security and spectrum legislation “due to a change in the House schedule.” Commerce didn't detail when it plans to reschedule. It was expected to showcase a likely bill to help smaller carriers address equipment on their networks that may be a security risk (see 1909180031). House Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone, D-N.J., has been leading work on coming legislation expected to provide funding to rural carriers to remove equipment from Chinese equipment makers Huawei and ZTE (see 1909120003).
