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.

Our modernization allows manual filers to submit a single, dynamic form instead of multiple worksheets, and enables them to use a \"one-click\" option to easily indicate there is no change from the previous day's report. Further, unnecessary fields and worksheets will be eliminated to ensure that DIRS is collecting the information that is most important for emergency response. This modernization also eliminates the requirement for service providers to file a DIRS final report within 24 hours of DIRS' deactivation, and exempts non-facilities-based providers from DIRS reporting. This document also recognizes the emergence of public safety voice and broadband networks and the critical connectivity they provide to public safety stakeholders by requiring providers of these services to submit DIRS reports on the status of their public safety network infrastructure. Finally, we augment providers' ability to voluntarily submit geospatial information on infrastructure affected by disasters. Together, these changes provide public safety officials with the additional information they need, while also making it easier for service providers to satisfy their reporting obligations.","document_number":"2026-13155","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/06/30/2026-13155/resilient-networks-concerning-disruptions-to-communications","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-06-30/pdf/2026-13155.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-13155.pdf?1782737115","publication_date":"2026-06-30","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":"end of the DIRS reporting period,” which prevent providers from offering reliable, actionable service restoration estimates.

NG911 is replacing legacy 911 technology across the country with Internet Protocol (IP)-based infrastructure that will support new 911 capabilities, including text, video, and data. However, for NG911 to be fully effective, NG911 networks must safeguard the reliability of critical components and support the interoperability needed to seamlessly transfer 911 calls and data from one network to another. When the Commission first adopted 911 reliability rules in 2013, the transition to NG911 was in its very early stages. Since then, many state and local 911 Authorities have made significant progress in deploying NG911 capabilities in their jurisdictions. This Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) is the next step in fulfilling the Commission's commitment to facilitate the NG911 transition and to ensure that the transition does not inadvertently create vulnerabilities in the nation's critical public safety networks. The FNPRM proposes to update the definition of \"covered 911 service provider\" in the Commission's existing 911 reliability rules to ensure that the rules apply to service providers that control or operate critical pathways and components in NG911 networks. It also proposes to update the reliability standards for providers of critical NG911 functions to ensure the reliable delivery of 911 traffic to NG911 delivery points, and proposes to establish NG911 interoperability requirements for interstate transfer of 911 traffic between Emergency Services IP Networks (ESInets). In addition, the FNPRM proposes to modify the certification and oversight mechanisms in the current 911 reliability rules to improve reliability and interoperability in NG911 systems while minimizing burdens on service providers, and proposes to empower state and local 911 Authorities to obtain reliability and interoperability certifications directly from covered 911 service providers.","document_number":"2025-09279","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/06/04/2025-09279/facilitating-implementation-of-next-generation-911-services-ng911-improving-911-reliability","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-06-04/pdf/2025-09279.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-09279.pdf?1748954707","publication_date":"2025-06-04","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":"911 calling for a service provider's VoIP customers in much of the South, and another service provider experienced two outages in 2022 disrupting 911 service to thousands in North Dakota and South Dakota for several hours. \n • In February 2024, a provider experienced a nationwide wireless service outage that lasted at least twelve hours and rendered all voice and 5G data services unavailable for all users.

Through these proposals, the Commission aims to align TRS with today's communications landscape, better serve the needs of relay users, ensure the continued availability of TRS through the transition from legacy communications network, to modern, IP-based networks, and continue to protect the integrity of the TRS program through the prevention of waste, fraud, and abuse.","document_number":"2025-24210","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/01/02/2025-24210/analog-telecommunications-relay-service-modernization","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-01-02/pdf/2025-24210.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-24210.pdf?1767188718","publication_date":"2026-01-02","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":"ensuring native captions are accessible and usable?

It also seeks comment on requiring providers to use Rich Call Data (RCD) to transmit verified caller name on IP networks, whether to permit or require use of other solutions, and an alternative option to require that providers implement RCD in their IP networks for all calls. The Commission further proposes to require voice service providers to implement measures to ensure that consumers know which calls originate from outside of the United States and to prohibit spoofing of United States telephone numbers for calls that originate from outside of the United States.
