Dahua Compliance Plan Should Be Public, Motorola Solutions Says

The FCC shouldn’t give China-based Dahua the confidential treatment it seeks for its compliance plan with FCC rules, Motorola Solutions said. Dahua, which is on the FCC’s covered list of companies deemed to pose a security risk, filed the plan with the FCC in April to show how its gear won’t affect public safety or other secure communications. The plan “contains sensitive business information regarding a privately-held company’s day-to-day operation,” Dahua said in an April filing. “Dahua’s request that its compliance plan be shielded in its entirety from public inspection should be denied because it runs afoul of Commission rules, which prohibit such blanket and overbroad claims of confidentiality,” Motorola said, posting Monday in docket 21-232: “Dahua has not made the substantive demonstration for confidential treatment as required by the Commission’s rules, doing little more than parroting the criteria for confidential treatment under those rules.”
