On October 7, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released the agenda for October Commision open meeting which included a draft second report and order on the Covered List and a draft second further notice of proposed rulemaking. The main contents of the draft second report and order include:

• Clarifying module equipment is also a "covered" device;
• Device certification based on "covered" module equipment is prohibited;
• Establish procedures to prohibit the import and marketing of "covered" equipment that has been issued;
• Modifications to "covered" equipment are prohibited.

The second futher notice of proposed rulemaking will seek opinions on the definition of "critical infrastructure" and how to strengthen the prohibition of "covered" equipment entering the market.

Although the draft second report and order is not voted on and released, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said on October 10, 2025 that major e-commerce platforms had completed the cleanup of "covered" devices and that millions of affected devices had been removed from the shelves.
