Enhancing Security of Public Safety Answering Point Communications

In this document, the Commission seeks to gather updated information and propose how best to fulfill Congress' goal of protecting Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) from disruptive robocalls in a manner that avoids the potential security risks of making registered PSAP numbers available to those claiming to be autodialer operators. Specifically, the Commission proposes that voice service providers be required to block autodialed calls made to PSAP telephone numbers on the PSAP Do-Not-Call registry. The Commission takes this action to satisfy its statutory obligations under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Tax Relief Act).
