Request for Information on Implementation of the United States Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information on behalf of the US Department of Commerce and the US Government to support the development of an implementation plan for the US Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology (USG NSSCET). The USG NSSCET is intended to support and complement existing private sector-led activities and plans, including the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) United States Standards Strategy (USSS), with a focus on critical and emerging technology(ies) (CET). To inform the USG NSSCET implementation, including how to best partner with relevant stakeholders, NIST is requesting information that will support the identification and prioritization of key activities that will optimize the USG NSSCET implementation and further enhance the US Government’s ability to support a private sector-led, open, consensus-based international standards system, to which the US Government is an active stakeholder and participant. CET includes Communication and Networking Technologies; Semiconductors and Microelectronics; Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning; Digital Identity Infrastructure; Automated and Connected Infrastructure; Automated, Connected, and Electrified Transportation; and Cybersecurity and Privacy.
