House Communications Resets Supply Chain Security, Spectrum Bill Hearing for Friday

The House Communications Subcommittee rescheduled to Friday its postponed hearing on supply chain security and spectrum legislation (see 1909190044), the House Commerce Committee said. The panel will begin at 9:30 a.m. in 2123 Rayburn. It's 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).
