Specifically, the Commission proposes to enhance the effectiveness of STIR/SHAKEN by requiring terminating providers to transmit verified caller name or other caller identity information for presentation on a consumer's handset whenever they transmit an indication that a call has received an A-level attestation. 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. Finally, the Commission seeks comment on whether some of its calling-related rules can be simplified, streamlined, or eliminated, perhaps because they are outdated or have not been enforced for a substantial amount of time.","document_number":"2025-22063","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22063/advanced-methods-to-target-and-eliminate-robocalls","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-05/pdf/2025-22063.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22063.pdf?1764855925","publication_date":"2025-12-05","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":"whenever they transmit an indication that a call has received an A-level attestation.

The current rule states that individual components of air fare, like taxes and fees, may not be displayed prominently. The Department is also proposing to eliminate a prescriptive advertising regulation stating that components of a fare may not be presented in the same or larger size as the total price. These proposed changes would ensure greater flexibility in how air fare is displayed while ensuring information is presented clearly to consumers, and in conformity with the intent of Congress as articulated in a provision of the Internal Revenue Code establishing standards for the display of taxes in advertisements for air transportation. In addition, the Department is proposing to rescind nine air fare price advertising guidance documents.
