Specifically, the Commission proposes establishing baseline KYUP information-collection, compliance review, verification, monitoring, and responsive-action requirements to ensure providers can identify and cut off bad-actor upstream providers. The Commission also proposes measures to expand the Governance Authority's vetting, enforcement, and reporting responsibilities to prevent misuse of STIR/SHAKEN certificates and to remove noncompliant providers from the authentication ecosystem. The Commission further proposes clarifying and strengthening STIR/SHAKEN attestation rules, including codifying attestation levels, defining improper attestations, and specifying permissible mechanisms for verifying number-to-customer associations. Additionally, the Commission proposes and seeks comment on additional steps to close caller ID authentication gaps, such as refining provider definitions, reconsidering exemptions, requiring providers serving end users to assign STIR/SHAKEN attestations, and ensuring calls maintain authentication information. The Commission also seeks comment on special circumstances, including addressing issues with foreign- originated calls.","document_number":"2026-13874","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/09/2026-13874/enhancing-know-your-upstream-provider-requirements-and-strengthening-stirshaken-call-authentication","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-09/pdf/2026-13874.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-13874.pdf?1783514714","publication_date":"2026-07-09","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":"for the issuance of SPC tokens and selection of Certification Authorities. \n We propose to direct the Governance Authority to revise its SPC token access policy to include baseline vetting requirements prior to the issuance of SPC tokens that are modeled off the KYUP requirements we propose above, and that these requirements should also be applied to existing SPC token holders.

This proposed rule would also make several updates to certification criteria and implementation specifications recognized by the Program, including a revised certification criterion for decision support and revised certification criteria for patient demographics and observations and electronic case reporting. This proposed rule would establish a new baseline version of the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI). Additionally, this proposed rule would provide enhancements to support information sharing under the information blocking regulations. The implementation of these provisions would advance interoperability, improve transparency, and support the access, exchange, and use of electronic health information.
