Official abstract
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) proposes steps to strengthen the reliability, integrity, and effectiveness of the Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD or Database) as a core component of its illegal-call prevention framework. The Commission proposed measures aim to ensure that RMD filings are accurate, complete, and current, and to safeguard the Database so that only legitimate, transparent, and accountable providers may enter or remain listed. Specifically, the Commission proposes and seeks comment on measures to clarify which entities are required to file in the RMD, enhance the accuracy and completeness of submitted information, and specify which portions of filings may be publicly disclosed. Additionally, the Commission proposes and seeks comment on new tools to prevent bad actors and noncompliant providers from accessing or remaining in the RMD, including strengthened screening procedures for new filers, improved mechanisms for identifying noncompliant providers, expedited removal processes, and safeguards to prevent unauthorized re- entry into the Database.
