Abstract: The Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act and subsequent Commission orders require voice service providers, gateway providers and certain non-gateway intermediate providers to implement STIR/SHAKEN on their networks unless they are subject to an extension or exemption and, and maintain and be ready to provide the Commission upon request with documented proof that it working to develop a non-internet Protocol caller identification authentication solution, or actively testing such a solution. These providers are also required to submit identifying information as well as information regarding their efforts to mitigate illegal robocalls to the FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database. The Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act obligates the Commission to require voice service providers (i) take reasonable steps to find a non-IP call authentication solution and (ii) if receiving an extension to the STIR/SHAKEN implementation deadline, create a robocall mitigation program. The Commission also required gateway providers to take reasonable steps to find a non-IP call authentication solution and (ii) create a robocall mitigation program.
