Submit comments by July 12, 2024, on the draft U.S. Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology (USG NSSCET) Implementation Roadmap.

In response to the stakeholder feedback received, United States Government (USG) departments and agencies worked to generate a draft Implementation Roadmap. The roadmap sets forth actions and outcomes for the USG to increase investment in pre-standards development activities for critical and emerging technologies (CETs), broaden CET standards participation, grow a CET standards-savvy workforce, and ensure inclusivity and integrity in developing CET standards. The Implementation Roadmap is intended to guide USG actions. Actual implementation of the roadmap will require extensive coordination and engagement with variety of stakeholders. NIST requests public review and comment to further support the development and application of the USG NSSCET Implementation Roadmap.  

Actions and outcomes spelled out in the USG NSSCET Implementation Roadmap define how the USG can bolster support for the private sector-led system in the United States and the U.S. Standards Strategy (USSS) published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The roadmap supports, complements, and further communicates USG priorities for CET standards development.
