The Objection Period for the California Public Utilities Commission Federal Funding Account’s (FFA) second application window opens on Monday, June 23, 2025, and will close on July 7, 2025, at 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. The objection process is an opportunity for interested persons to review grant applications and file written comments objecting to an application under review. The Federal Funding Account’s Application Resources webpage will display a link to the Broadband Grant Portal’s Objection page.
Submitting Objections and Responses to Objections
During the Objection Period, interested parties may review Federal Funding Account application project summaries and submit objections. An objection must meet the criteria in Decision 22-04-055, Appendix A, section 12, including identifying and discussing errors of fact, policy, or statutory requirements that the application has contravened.
Responses to objections are due at 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, 14 days from the service date of any objection. Responses to objections should provide evidence refuting the objection, including identifying and discussing errors of fact, policy, or statutory requirements in the objection.
All objections, responses, and uploads of supporting information must be made through the Broadband Grant Portal, which will serve notice of the objection or response to the California Advance Services Fund distribution list. An objection or response made outside the Broadband Grant Portal or after the deadline will not be considered.

Further information about the objection process is available on the 2025 Federal Funding Account Objections webpage, Guidelines for Submitting Federal Funding Account Objection Data, and the Administrative Manual.
