FCC Adds Foreign-Produced Power Inverters and Advanced Robotic Devices to National Security Covered List

The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau has announced the addition of foreign-produced power inverters and advanced robotic devices to its Covered List, identifying them as posing an "unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of United States persons." This action follows National Security Determinations sent to the FCC by an Executive Branch interagency body on July 27, 2026, highlighting vulnerabilities in the U.S. supply chain and potential threats to the electrical grid.
