The Department of Justice has released a notice about Utility Broadband Alliance, Inc. (UBBA) in the Federal Register on June 11, 2025.
On April 16, 2025, UBBA sent notifications under section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993. The notifications were sent at the same time to the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission. The law is found at 15 U.S.C. 4301 and is known as “the Act.”

No other changes have been made to the group’s membership or activities. UBBA membership stays open. UBBA will send more notifications if membership changes.
