In the case of an emergency involving an "immediate threat to strategic national interests", a new bill being composed by Sen. Jay Rockefeller may give the president "in coordination with relevant industry sectors" the authority to take temporary control over various private networks. There is also mention of periodic mapping of private networks deemed of high-level importance. Critics say the current draft (S.773) of this bill is too vague and does not have any clear limitations or boundaries for the state controls.
