The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is seeking public comment on big data developments and how they impact the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights in light of the White House and President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology's reports on big data and consumer privacy.
On June 3, 2014, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) released a request for public comment on big data developments and how they impact the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights (see Legal Update, White House Releases Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights). The NTIA specifically seeks comments raised in:
  • The White House's May 1, 2014 big data report, Big Data: Seizing Opportunities, Preserving Values (Big Data Report) (see Legal Update, White House Releases Big Data Report).
  • The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology's May 1, 2014 report, Big Data and Privacy: A Technological Perspective (PCAST Report).
  • Submissions to the March 4, 2014 White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's March 4, 2014 Request for Information regarding big data.
  • Three big data workshops conducted by the White House.
These questions fall into three categories:
  • Broad questions raised by the Big Data Report and the PCAST Report.
  • Specific questions raised by the Big Data Report and the PCAST Report.
  • Possible approaches to big data suggested by the reports and the workshops.
NTIA will accept comments until 5 p.m. on August 5, 2014.
