On January 29, 2026, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) discussed and adopted the draft regulation No. 25-166 "Promoting Transparency in Foreign Adversary Control to Protect Communications Networks" at its January open meeting, and officially issued the report and order No. 26-2 on January 30. The new regulations propose to establish a "Foreign Adversary Control System" (FACS), requiring all FCC authorization holders to declare whether they are controlled by a counterparty country based on their risk level (Schedules A, B, C). The regulations establish a 10% presumption of control, and controlled entities must disclose interest holders holding 5% or more through a penetrating review. If a business fails to file on time or provides misrepresentation, the FCC will initiate a simplified process to revoke its business license.
