Once bulk Fabric challenges have been reviewed, processed, and resolved, the challenge results will be provided in the BDC system for challenge filers as downloadable CSV files. The CSV files include a response code field, indicating how each challenge included in that batch of results was addressed. Further information about the response codes, including detailed descriptions about each code, can be found at Fabric Challenge Response Codes.
Results of challenges that are accepted will be posted around the time an updated Fabric version is released to Fabric licensees, typically every June and December, and those results will be incorporated into that next version of the Fabric dataset.
Results reflecting a Fabric challenge that has been rejected may be provided earlier in the process, before the next version of the Fabric is released. Parties can refile a challenge if they wish using a different challenge type or submitting other information in their file upload.
See How to Submit a Successful Bulk Fabric Challenge and the correct challenge types to use when submitting a challenge.
