Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC, Commission, or Agency) proposes to add a new system of records, FCC/WCB-5, Robocall Mitigation Database to its inventory of records systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This action is necessary to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the existence and character of records maintained by the Agency. The FCC requires voice service providers to certify that they have implemented the Secure Telephone Identity Revisited and Signature- based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs (STIR/SHAKEN) caller ID authentication framework and/or a robocall mitigation program. These certifications will be uploaded to the Robocall Mitigation Database and include the personally identifiable information (PII) of individual representatives of the service providers, such as contact information. Once service providers submit their certifications to the FCC, the certifications will then be made available for download via a public website to ensure transparency and accountability for implementing robocall mitigation programs.
