CPUC Seeking Comment on FCC Copper Preemption Order
The state wants input on whether federal rules impact its regulations.
WASHINGTON, June 1, 2026 – California’s telecom regulator is seeking input on whether its copper retirement policies could be preempted by federal rules.
The California Public Utilities Commission put out a notice soliciting comment on the issue May 28. It said commenters should “provide a detailed explanation” of how Federal Communications Commission rules impact the CPUC, and whether the agency should change its rules to harmonize with FCC regulations.
