SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Authority
In September 2024, NTIA launched an inquiry into how the federal
government may support the growth of data centers to meet the coming
demand from artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.
NTIA's RFC sought input on challenges and opportunities to bolster data
center growth, resilience, and security. NTIA issued the RFC in
coordination with the Department of Energy (DOE), given DOE's mission
to ensure American's security and prosperity through addressing energy
challenges with

report.
