A BILL

To amend the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act to require the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology to advance the principles of openness, transparency, due process, appeals, and consensus in the development of international standards, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Utilize Standards for All Act” or the “USA Act”.

SEC. 2. Importance of international standards development.

Section 10245 of the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act (Public Law 117–167; 42 U.S.C. 18951) is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:

“(a) Importance of international standards development.—The Director shall carry out the following:

“(1) Advance the principles of openness, transparency, due process, appeals, and consensus in the development of international standards.

“(2) Shall promote voluntary consensus standards, developed through a private sector-led process (domestically and internationally) in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 271 et seq.), as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of this subsection, which are the cornerstone of the United States standardization system and serve as the basis for a sound national economy and the key to global market access.

“(3) Strengthen the unique United States public-private partnerships approach to advance United States interests in standards development, as such is critical to United States economic competitiveness.

“(4) In coordination with the heads of relevant Federal agencies, ensure cooperation and coordination across Federal agencies to partner with and support private sector stakeholders regarding standards development for emerging technologies.”.
