AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Government Accountability Office (led by the Comptroller General) to study what the federal government has done to support the cybersecurity of privately owned, U.S.-licensed satellite systems and to report to Congress within 2 years. It requires the Secretary of Commerce, working with the Department of Homeland Security, to set up a public online clearinghouse of voluntary satellite cybersecurity resources within 180 days, including materials for small businesses. Commerce must also gather voluntary cybersecurity recommendations, report to Congress on this work every 2 years, and submit a federal coordination strategy within 120 days. The bill states that it does not authorize new regulations or license conditions and does not name satellites as a critical infrastructure sector.
