Data Center Resource Disclosure Act

This bill would require the federal official who leads the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to survey data center operators in the United States every year, starting within 180 days of the law taking effect. The survey would ask operators to share, on a voluntary basis, how much energy and water each data center used in the past year. The public, including utility boards, labor groups, state regulators, and consumer groups, could submit comments on the survey. Within 180 days after each survey, the results would be posted online with an interactive map, a list of data centers that did not give complete information, and a summary of comments, and a report with recommendations on regulating data centers would be sent to Congress.
