The bill also would direct the FCC to require voice service providers (VSPs) to implement- within 18 months of enactment-the framework known as STIR/SHAKEN (secure telephone identity revisited and signature-based handling of asserted information using tokens) to authenticate caller ID in their Internet protocol networks. The FCC would be required to assess the implementation and efficacy of the STIR/SHAKEN framework and periodically report to the Congress. S. 151 also would direct the Department of Justice to form an interagency working group to study prosecutions related to restrictions on the use of automated telephone equipment and report the findings to the Congress. 1. Robocallers use automatic dialing systems or artificial or prerecorded voices to place calls without the recipients' consent. Spoofers disguise their identities by altering or manipulating information shown on caller ID. Both actions are subject to enforcement by the FCC.
