    (VII) foreign activities in the development and deployment of distributed ledger technologies and their associated tools and infrastructure; and
    (VIII) environmental, sustainability, and economic impacts of the computational resources required for distributed ledger technologies.
    (C) Potential uses for distributed ledger technologies that could improve the operations and delivery of services by Federal agencies, taking into account the potential of digital ledger technologies to—
    (i) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of privacy-preserving data sharing among Federal agencies and with State, local, territorial, and Tribal governments;
    (ii) promote government transparency by improving data sharing with the public;
    (iii) introduce or mitigate risks that may threaten individuals’ rights or broad access to Federal services;
    (iv) automate and modernize processes for assessing and ensuring regulatory compliance; and
    (v) facilitate broad access to financial services for underserved and underbanked populations.
    (D) Ways to support public and private sector dialogue on areas of research that could enhance the efficiency, scalability, interoperability, security, and privacy of applications using distributed ledger technologies.
    (E) The need for increased coordination of the public and private sectors on the development of voluntary standards in order to promote research and development, including standards regarding security, smart contracts, cryptographic protocols, virtual routing and forwarding, interoperability, zero-knowledge proofs, and privacy, for distributed ledger technologies and their applications.
    (F) Applications of distributed ledger technologies that could positively benefit society but that receive relatively little private sector investment.
    (G) The United States position in global leadership and competitiveness across research, development, and deployment of distributed ledger technologies.
