The proposal seeks public comments and outlines procedures for appeals, emphasizing the importance of maintaining secure and trustworthy communications systems while considering the burden on small businesses.

The implementation period is set to allow entities time to comply with the new requirements.

    💰

    Citation:86 FR 44
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed rules to implement the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act). These rules aim to simplify how private entities can report illegal robocalls and caller ID spoofing to the FCC. The proposal includes setting up an online portal for submitting reports, which would be monitored by the FCC's Enforcement Bureau. The definition of "private entity" will exclude public entities, such as government agencies, ensuring the system is only used by individuals, companies, and organizations outside of the government.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to make it easier for people and businesses to tell on bad guys making fake phone calls that trick people. They're planning to build a website for this, but they're still figuring out some tricky parts.
