Summary: The Commission will consider an Order, Further Notice, and Notice of Inquiry that would expand our call blocking requirements to ensure even greater protections for consumers. The item would enlist service providers in the fight against
unwanted robocalls by extending our 24-hour traceback requirement to cover all
voice service providers in the call path, enhancing existing requirements to effectively mitigate illegal traffic upon Commission notification and expanding our knowyour-upstream-provider requirements to all voice service providers. The item would
also seek comment on several other options to further enhance consumer protections, including a proposal to require terminating providers to offer analytics-based
call blocking.
Title: Restricted Adjudicatory Matter.
Summary: The Commission will consider a restricted adjudicatory matter.

Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
Comments are requested concerning:
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,

further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it

Management and Budget (OMB) control
number. No person shall be subject to

applicant to provide verification that the
applicant is deafblind.
