    Citation:90 FR 13416
    Reading Time:about 42 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a final rule to modify its call blocking policies to better combat illegal robocalls. This rule requires all domestic voice service providers to use a do-not-originate (DNO) list to block calls that are likely illegal, ensuring comprehensive consumer protection. Furthermore, the rule mandates that providers use the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) code 603+ to inform callers when their calls are blocked due to analytics, helping them understand why their call was blocked and providing a mechanism for redress. This initiative aims to curb unwanted and fraudulent calls, enhancing consumer trust and security.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants phone companies to stop bad robocalls by using a special list that says which calls shouldn't be made. When a call is stopped because it seems bad, they'll send a little message that says why, so people know what happened.

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing a new rule to oversee certificate revocation decisions within the STIR/SHAKEN governance system, which aims to combat illegal robocalls by authenticating caller IDs. The FCC wants to ensure that if a voice service provider's certificate is revoked, making them noncompliant with regulations, they have a fair chance to appeal the decision. 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.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants to make sure that phone companies have a fair chance to explain themselves if they lose a special certificate that helps stop bad robocalls, and they're asking people what they think about this idea.

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued new rules to address robocalls under the TRACED Act, amending exemptions in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The rules limit the number of non-commercial, commercial, nonprofit, and HIPAA-related calls to residential lines to a maximum number within a specified period and require an opt-out mechanism for consumers. These regulations aim to reduce unwanted robocalls, balancing consumer protection with the need for legitimate communications. The implementation period is set to allow entities time to comply with the new requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC made new rules to help stop unwanted phone calls by setting limits on how often different groups, like businesses or charities, can call people at home. They also made sure people can easily tell these callers to stop calling them if they want.
