LINK Act

This bill would require the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior to make their information technology and cybersecurity systems work together so they can share information. The shared information would cover federal land management such as wildfire operations, disaster and emergency response, and related business activities like procurement, aviation, and workforce management. Tribal proprietary data, sensitive cave location data, and other legally protected sensitive information would be excluded, and the agencies would have to consult with Indian Tribes. The two departments would jointly write a plan, in consultation with firefighters, that includes phasing out older separate systems, and would have to carry out the plan within one year of the law's enactment.
