Requires the Federal Communications Commission to publish and keep an online list of entities that hold FCC licenses or authorizations and that are owned or controlled, in whole or in part, by persons or governments on a specified covered-country list. The agency must define key terms, complete rulemaking to identify additional affected entities, and update the list at least once a year.
The law exempts the information collection from the Paperwork Reduction Act, sets deadlines for initial publication and for the rulemaking to identify more entities, and directs ongoing maintenance of the online list to increase transparency about foreign ownership or control of FCC-authorized entities.
