H.R. 1766 creates a new Office of Policy Development and Cybersecurity at NTIA to centralize federal internet, communications, and cybersecurity policy work. The office would coordinate open stakeholder processes for cybersecurity guidance, promote innovation, and ensure small and rural providers have a voice in policy decisions.

Who this affects: This bill primarily affects the federal agencies that shape internet and communications policy, the companies that build and operate communications networks, and the researchers who study cybersecurity. It also has implications for small and rural internet providers who may gain a stronger voice in policy decisions, and for everyday Americans whose internet, phone, and digital services depend on secure, well-coordinated federal policy.
Why this matters: Right now, federal internet and cybersecurity policy work is spread across multiple agencies without a single clear lead within NTIA. This bill would change that by creating a dedicated office to coordinate policy, bring stakeholders together, and push for stronger cybersecurity protections across communications networks. With cyber threats to phone systems, internet infrastructure, and digital services growing, having a focused office could help the government respond faster and more effectively. The bill also ties cybersecurity work to economic goals like innovation and removing barriers for smaller providers, which could shape how Americans access technology in the years ahead.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
