Today, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer announced that the Universal Service Fund (USF) Working Group request for comment portal is officially open on her website. The comment portal will allow for the submission of updated comments regarding the outlook of the USF.

“As a co-chair of the Universal Service Fund Working Group, I’m committed to working toward a long-term solution for the Universal Service Fund and the communications services it supports. With our comment portal now open, I look forward to reviewing feedback with the goal of closing the digital divide for unserved and underserved communities across America,” Fischer said.

The portal is on Fischer’s website at fischer.senate.gov/usf.

Submission of comments are due on Monday, September 15, 2025.
