FCC Operations Suspended Due to U.S. Government Shutdown
On October 1, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) suspended most of its normal operations following the U.S. government shutdown.
Core services such as equipment authorization, licensing, and complaint processing are currently paused. Only activities with independent funding sources or those related to public safety remain active. This temporary suspension may affect market access timelines for manufacturers planning device approvals in the United States.
