The FCC is correcting a typo in its cybersecurity labeling program, but the deadline is still tight.
What happened
The US communications regulator is fixing a mistake in its rules for a new cybersecurity labeling program. This correction changes the date for companies to apply to become administrators for the program.
Why it matters
This document is a minor correction to a larger regulatory effort. The US government wants to create a system where consumers can easily see if their smart devices meet certain cybersecurity standards. This specific correction just clarifies the application deadline for the companies that will run that labeling system.
The signal
Watch for the actual launch of the cybersecurity labeling program and how many consumer devices start displaying the new label.
