Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Strategic Subsea Cables Act of 2026 establishes a coordinated federal approach to protecting international subsea fiber-optic cables, which carry most global internet traffic. The bill creates an interagency committee to oversee cable security, installation, maintenance, and repair; authorizes sanctions against foreign persons who damage cables in ways that harm U.S. national security; and expands State Department expertise on subsea cable issues. It also directs increased U.S. engagement with the International Cable Protection Committee and mandates information sharing between federal agencies and private cable operators.
