Thanks for the notice, Quynh.

We provided the following high-level comments.
https://emanjon.github.io/NIST-comments/2026%20SP%20800-52.pdf

It is difficult to provide detailed feedback because the document is significantly outdated and remains heavily focused on TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2. We recommend that the next revision be refocused on TLS 1.3 and that all guidance specific to TLS 1.2 be removed.

Cheers,
John Preuß Mattsson
