Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.","document_number":"2026-20487","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/06/2026-20487/information-collection-being-reviewed-by-the-federal-communications-commission","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-10-06/pdf/2026-20487.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-20487.pdf?1791204321","publication_date":"2026-10-06","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number. \n \n OMB Control Number: \n 3060-1322.\n \n \n Title: \n Targeting and Eliminating Unlawful Text Messages, Implementation of the <span class=\"match\">Telephone Consumer Protection Act</span> of 1991.\n \n \n Form Number: \n N/A.\n \n \n Type of Review: \n Extension of a currently approved collection.\n \n \n Respondents: \n Business or other for profit entities, and state, local or tribal governments.\n \n \n Number of Respondents and Responses: \n 1,184 respondents;"},{"title":"Sunshine Act; Open Commission Meeting Wednesday, September 30, 2026","type":"Notice","abstract":"The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to overhaul the Commission's outdated National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) rules. These reforms will clarify the scope of Commission actions subject to environmental review and streamline and expedite the review process to ensure NEPA serves as a tool for informed decision- making rather than a barrier to investment, innovation, and connectivity. 2.................. Space................. Title: Satellite Spectrum Abundance (SB Docket No. 25-180); Spectrum Abundance for Weird Space Stuff (SB Docket No. 26- 54); Expanding Use of the 12.7-13.25 GHz Band for Mobile Broadband or Other Expanded Use (GN Docket No. 22-352); Shared Use of the 42-42.5 GHz Band (WT Docket No. 23-158); Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHz for Mobile Radio Services (GN Docket No. 14- 177). Summary: The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Order of Proposed Modification and two Further Notices of Proposed Rulemaking that would increase the amount of spectrum available in order to support innovation in the American space economy. The Order would unlock more than 1,000 megahertz of spectrum in the 12.7 GHz and 42 GHz bands to provide greater capacity for satellite broadband to the home or for in-flight connectivity and the like. One FNPRM would seek comment on unlocking an additional 1,175 megahertz of spectrum in the Ku- and Ka-bands and 138.25 gigahertz in the D-band for more intensive use by satellite communications. The other FNPRM would seek comment on three new bands across thousands of megahertz that might be able to be used to control spacecraft or to provide data communications in support of emergent space activities, such as in- space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing. 3.................. Office of Engineering Title: Unleashing the Power and Technology. of Unlicensed UWB Devices (ET Docket No. 26-245). Summary: The Commission will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would modernize the rules for unlicensed Ultra- Wideband (UWB) devices. UWB devices operate under part 15 of the Commission's rules and support a wide variety of applications, including automobile sensors, door locks, ground- and wall- penetrating radars, and location tracking for NFL players during games. The NPRM would modernize the UWB rules by updating definitions, measurement procedures, technical parameters, and outdated restrictions, while removing unnecessary coordination requirements. The NPRM would also create a new UWB device category for emerging applications like AI-enabled sensing and overall seek to future- proof UWB regulations for the next wave of innovation while maintaining protections for incumbent services. 4.................. Public Safety and Title: Modernizing the 911 Homeland Security. Framework (PS Docket No. 26-197). Summary: The Commission will consider a Notice of Inquiry exploring modernization of the 911 framework to ensure the public can continue to effectively and reliably access emergency services in this era of rapid technological change. 5..................

We also modernize our rules to ensure that consumers have clear, simple, and automated ways to revoke consent while streamlining callers' ability to process revocations. Specifically, we allow callers to interpret a revocation request as applying only to the specific category of informational robocalls to which the revocation was directed, allow callers to designate an exclusive means to revoke consent, and amend the exemption from the consent requirement for financial institutions to allow them to more easily alert customers to fraudulent activity on their account. In addition, we delegate authority to the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) in consultation with the Enforcement Bureau (EB) to review our robocall rules to ensure that those rules are clear and easy to read.","document_number":"2026-21821","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/26/2026-21821/enhancing-the-ability-of-consumers-to-control-the-robocalls","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-10-26/pdf/2026-21821.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-21821.pdf?1792759520","publication_date":"2026-10-26","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"collection requirements contained in the PRA, contact Cathy Williams \n Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov, \n Office of Managing Director, (202) 418-2918.\n \n \n \n \n SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: \n \n This is a synopsis of the Commission's Rules and Regulations Implementing the <span class=\"match\">Telephone Consumer Protection Act</span> of 1991, Report and Order (\n Order \n ) in CG Docket No. 02-278; FCC 26-67, adopted September 30, 2026 and released on October 1, 2026.
