Washington, DC 20548 B-335395 July 5, 2023 The Honorable Maria Cantwell Chair The Honorable Ted Cruz Ranking Member Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate The Honorable Cathy McMorris Rodgers Chair The Honorable Frank Pallone, Jr. Ranking Member Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Federal Communications Commission: Call Authentication Trust Anchor Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) entitled Call Authentication Trust Anchor (FCC 23-18). We received the rule on March 30, 2023. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on June 21, 2023. 88 Fed. Reg. 40096. The effective date is August 21, 2023, except for the amendments codified at 47 C.F.R. § 64.6303(c) (amendatory instruction 9) and 64.6305(d), (e), (f), and (g) (amendatory instruction 12) which are delayed. FCC will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective dates for the delayed amendments to 47 C.F.R. § 64.6303(c) and 64.6305(d), (e), (f), (g). According to FCC, the final rule takes steps to combat illegally spoofed robocalls by strengthening and expanding caller ID authentication and robocall mitigation obligations and creating new mechanisms to hold providers accountable for violations of FCC's rules. Enclosed is our assessment of FCC's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. If you have any questions about this report or wish to contact GAO officials responsible for the evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule, please contact Shari Brewster, Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-6398.
