On April 30, 2026, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to pass the latest proposal under Docket 24-136 "Ensuring the Integrity of the Equipment Authorization Program". According to FCC Document 26-28, released on May 1, 2026, the impact of the Act on testing agencies will mainly be divided into two parts:

• Proposed regulations will require disclosure of the geographic location and number of foreign employees, and establish a green channel for pre-certification technical programs (PAG) of "trusted laboratories" in the U.S. and its partner countries. This section is expected to take effect one month after publication on the Federal Register website and has not yet been released;
• For public comment on the new regulations, the FCC plans to completely ban all testing laboratories and certification agencies from countries that have not signed MRA or other equivalent reciprocal trade agreements with the U.S., affecting countries including China, India, Thailand, and the Philippines. The relevant policies will set a transition period, and the FCC press release described a description of a two-year transition period, but the formal proposal states a period of one year or more, meaning this period is also one of the main topics for soliciting comments. During the transition period, if companies choose to conduct testing in non-MRA countries, they must pay a fee of $20,000 per model, which far exceeds the full FCC testing and certification costs for most products. The solicitation of opinions is expected to take more than half a year before entering the proposed regulation issuance stage.

It is expected that the proposed regulation and the new regulation will be published as two separate documents on the Federal Register website. The related content is expected to have a significant impact on China's information and communication industry. All parties involved are encouraged to pay attention and actively submit feedback through the FCC electronic comment system.

It is recommended to wait for the publishment of the propose on the Federal Register website before submitting comments.
