Statement from DCC:
“Last week, the Data Center Coalition (DCC) submitted comments in response to the Request for Information on the AI Action Plan, issued by the Trump Administration.
As the membership association for the U.S. data center industry, DCC represents leading data center owners and operators, as well as companies that lease large amounts of data center capacity. DCC’s member companies provide the digital infrastructure that supports the applications, capabilities, and essential services that enable the modern economy, including cloud computing and AI. DCC member companies are making significant, multi-billion-dollar investments expanding U.S. data center infrastructure across the country.
DCC thanks the Trump Administration for its leadership in promoting a strong AI ecosystem here in the United States. Data centers are vital to enabling emerging technologies like AI, which are critical to U.S. national security and global economic competitiveness. DCC appreciates the administration’s recognition of the data center industry's important role in developing the digital infrastructure that will enable American AI dominance.
DCC’s comments provide over 30 policy recommendations and emphasize the need to unleash the infrastructure and workforce necessary to power, supply, and operate the nation’s data centers. These recommendations encompass potential federal agency and congressional action and focus on the removal of barriers to faster data center construction and operation, ranging from power access to supply chains to workforce development.
We look forward to continued engagement with the Trump Administration and Congress to identify and advance strategic actions and policies that support the efforts of the U.S. data center industry in building the digital infrastructure essential to winning the AI race.” – Josh Levi, President, Data Center Coalition.” – Josh Levi, President, Data Center Coalition.
