The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeking comment on initiatives to enhance caller identification information for consumers. The proposal focuses on improving call authentication, particularly for calls with A-level STIR/SHAKEN attestations, and addressing robocalls originating from outside the United States.
On December 5, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), identified as Federal Register document 2025-22063, titled "Advanced Methods To Target and Eliminate Robocalls." This proposed rule is part of CG Docket Nos. 17-59, 02-278, 25-307, and WC Docket No. 17-97. The FCC proposes steps to improve the availability and accuracy of caller identification information presented to consumers. Key proposals include requiring terminating providers to transmit verified caller name or other identity information when a call has an A-level STIR/SHAKEN attestation. The Commission also seeks comment on requiring providers to use Rich Call Data (RCD) for transmitting verified caller name on IP networks and implementing RCD for all calls. Additionally, the NPRM proposes to require voice service providers to implement measures to identify calls originating from outside the United States, prohibit spoofing of U.S. numbers for such calls, and use foreign origination as a factor in call blocking analytics. The FCC also seeks comment on simplifying, streamlining, or eliminating outdated calling-related rules. Comments on the NPRM are due by January 5, 2026, and reply comments by February 3, 2026.
This FCC proposal could significantly alter how consent, revocation, and do-not-call compliance are managed for calls and texts. Requiring verified caller identity information alongside STIR/SHAKEN attestations aims to increase consumer trust, which could impact answer rates for legitimate businesses. The focus on foreign-originated calls and number spoofing from outside the U.S. highlights an evolving area of regulatory scrutiny. Businesses should understand these potential changes to ensure their communication practices remain compliant and effective, especially regarding caller ID presentation and international calling campaigns.
