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, maintain and be ready to provide the Commission upon request with documented proof that they are working to develop a non-internet Protocol caller identification authentication solution, or actively testing such a solution, and maintain a written agreement if they choose to work with a third party to perform the technological act of signing calls. 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.

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting program changes and adjustments in this revised information collection. The Commission is reporting program changes due to the Eighth Report and Order and RMD Report and Order. The total number of respondents and annual responses each increased by 13,800 (from 12,800 to 26,600 respondents) and the total annual burden hours increased by 6,900 hours (from 39,663 to 46,563 hours). The Commission is also reporting adjustments to this information collection which are due to the Commission re-evaluating the previous figures used in this collection to better reflect experience in administering the collection. For these adjustments, the total number of respondents and annual responses each increased by 800 (from 26,600 to 27,400) and total annual burden hours decreased by 7,113 (from 46,563 to 39,450). Together, this resulted in an increase to the total number of respondents/total annual responses of +14,600 and a decrease to the total annual burden hours of -213.
