FCC Policy
The FCC is seeking comment on its proposal to implement the “voluntarily share” clause of the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act by establishing an online web portal for submitting anonymous tips on alleged robocalls. Pursuant to statutory language, only “private entities”, which the FCC tentatively defines as non-governmental entities, may use the portal. The Enforcement Bureau would monitor the portal, but the existing complaint process managed by the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau will remain in place. Comments and Reply Comments are due 30 and 45 days after Federal Register publication, respectively.
