Scrape SCRP Recipient Directory via FCC Public Disbursement Database

Intel / Context Summary

The FCC proposes mandatory fraud disclosure requirements for SCRP recipients under 2 CFR 200.113, creating a $1.3 billion compliance gap where telecom carriers must implement new fraud detection and reporting systems by May 2026.

Catalyst: Why Now

The FCC has approved ~$1.3B in SCRP disbursements but doesn't publish a clean, machine-readable directory of recipients with contact information. This data exists across multiple FCC public databases but requires extraction and consolidation.

Friction: The Bottleneck

• Vulnerability: The FCC has approved ~$1.3B in SCRP disbursements but doesn't publish a clean, machine-readable directory of recipients with contact information. This data exists across multiple FCC public databases but requires extraction and consolidation.
• Capital yield: Sell dataset for $499-$999 to compliance consultants; 10 sales = $5k-$10k
• Resource capture: Proprietary SCRP recipient database (first-mover advantage)
• Required vectors: Vector: Web Scraping & Data Extraction

Wedge: Execution Protocol

Phase 1: Locate and Map Data Sources: Search FCC.gov for SCRP disbursement databases. Primary targets: (1) FCC Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) funding data portal, (2) FCC Wireline Competition Bureau press releases announcing SCRP approvals, (3) FOIA reading room for SCRP-related documents. Document exact URLs and data formats (CSV, PDF, HTML tables). → Phase 2: Extract and Consolidate Data: Write Python scripts using requests and BeautifulSoup to scrape HTML tables. For PDFs, use pdfplumber or tabula-py. Extract: company name, address, disbursement amount, approval date. Clean and deduplicate records. Export to CSV with standardized columns.
