    In the proposed rule by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the focus is on addressing privacy issues related to the georouting of text messages to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The Wireline Competition Bureau is seeking comments on proposed rules that would require text providers to support georouting, ensuring messages are directed to local crisis centers. The proposal highlights privacy concerns, potential risks, and possible safeguards for transmitting 988 text messages while maintaining user confidentiality. The FCC aims to balance user privacy with the effectiveness of the 988 Lifeline by exploring various technical solutions and ensuring sensitive information remains secure.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants to make sure that text messages sent to the 988 crisis hotline go to the right local help center, but they also want to keep people's information private and safe. They are asking people to share their thoughts on how to do this best.

Initially, the comment period for this proposal was scheduled to end on February 28, 2025, but it has now been extended by 60 days, giving the public until April 29, 2025, to submit their feedback. The purpose of this extension is to allow stakeholders more time to review the materials and provide their comments. To participate, the public can submit comments online at regulations.gov and should refer to the ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2021-0277.
