Reminder: Robocall Mitigation Certifications Due in One Week
All voice service providers are reminded that they must file their Robocall Mitigation Program (RMP) certifications in the FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) by or before June 30,2021. This new requirement is part of the FCC’s efforts to solve the nation’s illegal robocall problem.
All companies must certify that they have either completed STIR/SHAKEN implementation in their networks, have partially implemented STIR/SHAKEN and are performing robocall mitigation, or that they have not yet implemented STIR/SHAKEN and are performing robocall mitigation. A provider’s robocall mitigation program must specify practices the company has deployed that can reasonably be expected to significantly reduce the origination of illegal robocalls on its network. In addition, carriers must provide a company contact who is responsible for addressing robocall mitigation-related issues. The RMP information must be filed in the Commission’s Robocall Mitigation Database.
Failure to file a certification in the RMD could result in calls originating on your company’s network to not be completed. Beginning September 28, 2021, intermediate providers and terminating voice service providers will be prohibited from accepting traffic from voice service providers not listed in the Robocall Mitigation Database.
