Last Thursday, Sens. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and John Thune (R-SD), Co-Chairs of the Universal Service Fund (USF) Working Group, announced that the public can now submit comments to the USF Working Group for a 30-day period closing August 25, 2023. The Working Group also includes Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Gary Peters (D-MI) and Jerry Moran (R-KS).
In May, Sens. Luján and Thune, Chairman and Ranking Member, respectively, of the Subcommittee on Communications, Media and Broadband, convened a Subcommittee hearing titled “The State of Universal Service” to hear from experts and stakeholders on the necessary reforms to federal programs funded through universal service. The Co-Chairs want to hear from advocates, industry and local communities to learn more about the current state of these programs to further inform the efforts of the USF Working Group.
