On July 23, 2024, the FCC released document DA-24-712A1 to include Russia's Kaspersky company's cybersecurity and antivirus software in the covered list. So far, Kaspersky is still the only company on the covered list in terms of software. On February 12, 2025, the Telecommunications Certification Bodies Council (TCBC) published a best practice guidance document for software coverage lists. This document is intended to help guide manufacturers, laboratories, and TCBs in conducting due diligence to determine compliance with the requirements of the Covered List. The guide gives three examples of recommended declarations, how to assess compliance if the inherent compliance condition is not met, and how to deal with modular products.
