Abstract: 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: To implement the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act’s provisions related to caller ID authentication, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on March 30, 2020, which required voice service providers to implement the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication technology in the Internet Protocol portions of their phone networks by June 30, 2021. This Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes a limited role for the Commission to oversee certificate revocation decisions by the private STIR/SHAKEN governance system that would have the effect of placing providers in noncompliance with Commission rules.
