The FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) has released a Public Notice seeking comment on two recurring statutory obligations under the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act). First, as required annually, the Bureau seeks comment on whether the extensions granted by the Commission for implementation of the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication framework should be revised or extended. Second, the Bureau seeks comment to inform the Commission’s second triennial assessment of the efficacy of the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication framework as a tool to combat illegal robocalls. Comments will be due 30 days after the Public Notice is published in the Federal Register, which has yet to occur. Reply comments will be due 45 days after that date of publication.
