WASHINGTON, Oct 6 (Reuters) - The Federal Communications

Commission will vote this month to tighten restrictions on

equipment made by Chinese companies deemed national security

risks, the latest in a series of U.S. actions targeting Beijing.

The U.S. telecom regulator previously named companies

including Huawei Technologies, ZTE (Shenzhen:000063), Hangzhou

Hikvision, China Mobile and China

Telecom to the so-called "Covered List," which bars

the FCC from authorizing for import or sale new equipment from

those companies. FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the agency will

vote to prohibit authorization of devices containing component

parts that are on the Covered List and authorize the FCC to

prohibit sale of previously-authorized Covered List equipment in

specific cases.
