No products, services, quantities, OEMs, or vendors are identified.
Description
The final rule removes 47 CFR part 400, the regulations for the jointly administered 911 Grant Program. The agencies state that the program is no longer active, its authorization and funding expired, all funded projects are closed, and no open grants or applications exist. Removing the regulations is intended to eliminate obsolete language and reduce confusion about the availability of grant funds. The rule is effective October 6, 2026.
