Justification for non-substantive change request

NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE REQUEST JUSTIFICATION

OMB CONTROL NO. 3060-1287

Secure Telephone Identity Governance Authority Token Revocation Review Process

The Commission submits this non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of minor, non-substantive changes to rules.

On August 5, 2021, the Commission adopted Call Authentication Trust Anchor; Appeals of the STIR/SHAKEN Governance Authority Token Revocation Decisions, Third Report and Order, FCC 21-93 (rel. Aug. 6, 2021). The Commission adopted new rules creating a process for voice service providers to appeal token revocation decisions made by the private STIR/SHAKEN Governance Authority that have the effect of placing the voice service provider out of compliance with our rules. To ensure Commission oversight of the Governance Authority and ensure voice service providers aggrieved by an adverse token revocation decision due process the Commission established that parties seeking review must file their requests for review in the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) Docket No. 21-291, Appeals of the STIR/SHAKEN Governance Authority Token Revocation Decisions. This rule change will allow public notice and opportunity to comment by third parties. These rule changes deviate slightly and non-substantively from the rules the Office of Management and Budget pre-approved on June 3, 2021.

Change – Parties seeking commission review of a Governance Authority token revocation decision must file their requests for review in the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) Docket No. 21-291, Appeals of the STIR/SHAKEN Governance Authority Token Revocation Decisions:

Rule 47 CFR § 64.6308(c)(1) is amended to read:

(1) A request for review of a Governance Authority decision to revoke a voice service provider’s or intermediate provider’s SPC token by the Commission shall be filed in WC Docket No. 21-291, Appeals of the STIR/SHAKEN Governance Authority Token Revocation Decisions, in the Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS). The request for review shall be captioned “In the matter of Request for Review by (name of party seeking review) of Decision of the Governance Authority to Revoke an SPC Token.”

This change will not impact the burdens and no costs are associated with this information collection.
