Modernization Levers

Medium

Digital case/grant/service workflows, interoperable data, risk-based oversight, and shared services where the parent department can supply them without erasing mission expertise.

Administrative Burden Review

Medium

Identify who is forced to learn this bureau's rules: beneficiaries, applicants, regulated entities, grantees, state partners, researchers, or frontline staff. Reduce that burden through reusable evidence and clearer status information.

Duplication & Coordination Review

Medium

Coordinate with sibling bureaus before proposing consolidation. Some overlap is useful when it supplies checks, field presence, or resilience.

Risk & Guardrails

Medium

Do not cut mission-critical inspectors, adjudicators, scientists, field staff, or technical experts before the replacement process has proved it can preserve accuracy and rights.

Innovation Party Proposal

Research draft

Improve NTIA through Broadband-map validation, grant reporting simplification, shared infrastructure data, and milestones based on served locations, not obligated dollars.
