Wave 1 of CyberPilot FCDLs Released

December 17, 2025

Great news!  Today USAC issued Wave 1 of the Cybersecurity Pilot Funding Commitment Decision Letters (FCDLs).  If you were funded in Wave 1,  your service provider should have also received a copy of the FCDL, but you may wish to forward it to them, just in case.

We should know by Friday morning which applicants, specifically, have been funded and I will send a separate message to the listserve as soon as we have that data.

The next step is to purchase the equipment.  Note:  there is no Form 486 requirement for CPP.

As I receive more information about CPP next steps, the invoicing process, and how to submit the new Form 488 (to modify dates and make other post-commitment modifications, such as service substitutions and SPIN changes) I will let you know. 

In the meantime, congratulations to everyone who was funded in Wave 1.  If you were not funded, don’t worry as USAC will be issuing regular funding waves.
