Breaking news...🚨 🚨 🚨 This is an exciting time for the #BEAD program. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) just released the framework for #BABA self-certification and compliance for manufacturers and subgrantees. What became clear, is while manufacturers are not required to self-certify and it's a voluntary mechanism to limit fraudulent claims of BABA-compliance, it certainly would provide a lot of visibility for subgrantees if manufacturers choose to participate - streamlining the BABA-compliance process. The NTIA will release this first list in the coming weeks and will house compliant manufacturers and their products on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s website. However, manufacturers are required to provide a BABA certification letter to a subgrantee for equipment that requires domestic production in the BEAD BABA waiver. Subgrantees are required to maintain this certification letter in the event of an audit from their respective state broadband office.
