The FCC, led by Chairman Brendan Carr, will consider a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to tighten know-your-upstream-provider requirements under the STIR/SHAKEN framework. The agenda also includes a Report and Order and Further Notice on reforming the Broadband Data Collection process (audits, verification, and challenge mechanisms), a Third Report and Order to update the Disaster Information Reporting System, and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to solicit input on High‑Cost Program modernization. Drafts and summaries will be posted in advance and the meeting will be livestreamed from FCC headquarters on May 20.

FCC Proposes Stricter Rules to Halt Robocalls
On May 20, 2026 the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed new, more specific rules to hold voice service providers accountable for illegal robocalls and to strengthen the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID framework. The proposal would require all providers in a call path to vet customers, collect and verify user information, monitor traffic, and suspend service for confirmed illegal callers. The FCC says the measures aim to expose providers that enable illegal calls, improve caller ID accuracy, and reduce consumer exposure to unlawful robocalls. The proposal builds on existing requirements but seeks tougher enforcement and broader implementation of caller-authentication standards.
