The FCC’s Office of Economics and Analytics, in conjunction with the Wireline Competition Bureau, has announced the biennial recertification deadline for study area boundary data, which is June 30, 2025. Incumbent local exchange carriers and state commissions, who have agreed to file study area boundary data on behalf of some or all ILECs within their jurisdictions, must review and recertify study area boundary data every two years. ILECs and state commissions that uploaded and certified new boundaries between December 31, 2024, and March 15, 2025, are not required to recertify this year.
The current study area boundary data can be found here. ILECs can recertify on the FCC’s website here and state commissions can complete and sign the recertification form available here.
