Sunshine Act Meeting; Open Commission Meeting Wednesday, May 20, 2026

Abstract

The Commission will consider a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would propose to enhance the STIR/SHAKEN framework used by voice providers to combat illegal robocalls by improving know-your- upstream-provider (KYUP) requirements and oversight, raising standards for STIR/SHAKEN attestations, and closing implementation loopholes. 2.................. Broadband Data Task Title: Establishing the Force. Digital Opportunity Data Collection (WC Docket No. 11-10); Modernizing the FCC Form 477 Data Program (WC Docket No. 19-195); and Delete, Delete, Delete (GN Docket No. 25-133) Summary: The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would take several steps to streamline and improve the FCC's Broadband Data Collection (BDC). This item would alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens on service providers and challenge process participants by streamlining audits and verifications, improving challenge processes, and reducing regulatory burdens that add costs without a corresponding benefit to the quality of provider-reported data, all while ensuring that the data depicted on the National Broadband Map is accurate. 3.................. Public Safety & Title: Resilient Networks Homeland Security. (PS Docket No. 21-346); Amendments to Part 4 of the Commission's Rules Concerning Disruptions to Communications (PS Docket No. 15-80); and New Part 4 of the Commission's Rules Concerning Disruptions to Communications (ET Docket No. 04-35) Summary: The Commission will consider a Third Report and Order to modernize DIRS by enhancing its capabilities while eliminating unnecessary reporting burdens. These actions will provide better information to emergency managers during disasters and allow communications service providers to focus their resources on service restoration instead of redundant paperwork at times when every second counts. 4.................. Wireline Competition.. Title: Reforming the High- Cost Program for an All-IP Future (WC Docket No. 26- 96); and Connect America Fund: A National Broadband Plan for our Future High- Cost Universal Support (WC Docket No. 10-90) Summary: The Commission will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on how a High-Cost Modernization initiative could best ensure that all Americans, particularly those in rural areas, have access to next-generation services in an ever- changing environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
