Chairwoman Rosenworcel's Response to Members of Congress Regarding Data Breach Reporting Requirements

In December 2023, members of Congress wrote to Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel expressing concern that proposed data breach reporting requirements would violate the Congressional Review Act. On May 3, Chairwoman Rosenworcel responded and explained that the new requirements were a needed update, and consistent with the Congressional Review Act. "In taking this action, the Commission acted in a manner consistent with the Congressional Review Act ... In the order updating the Commission’s data breach policies that was adopted on December 13, 2023, the agency addressed why the decision does not take any action or issue any rules that are prohibited by the Congressional Review Act."
