The rules authorize providers with a STIR/ SHAKEN implementation obligation to engage third parties to perform the technological act of digitally \"signing\" calls consistent with the requirements of the STIR/SHAKEN technical standards so long as: the provider with the implementation obligation makes the \"attestation- level\" decisions for authenticating caller ID information; and all calls are signed using the certificate of the provider with the implementation obligation--not the certificate of a third party. The rules also explicitly require all providers with a STIR/SHAKEN implementation obligation to obtain a Service Provider Code (SPC) token from the STIR/SHAKEN Policy Administrator and present that token to a STIR/SHAKEN Certificate Authority to obtain a digital certificate. Additionally, the rules include recordkeeping requirements for third- party authentication arrangements to enable the Commission to monitor compliance with and enforce Commission rules.","document_number":"2025-15809","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/08/19/2025-15809/call-authentication-trust-anchor","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-08-19/pdf/2025-15809.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-15809.pdf?1755521150","publication_date":"2025-08-19","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":"STIR/SHAKEN <span class=\"match\">implementation</span> obligation, we mean those <span class=\"match\">providers</span> that are subject to an <span class=\"match\">implementation</span> extension, such as a <span class=\"match\">provider</span> with an entirely non-IP network or one that is unable to obtain the necessary SPC token to <span class=\"match\">authenticate</span> caller ID information, or that are exempted from our caller ID <span class=\"match\">authentication</span> requirements because they lack control over the network infrastructure necessary to <span class=\"match\">implement</span> STIR/SHAKEN.

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 be designed to safeguard the reliability of critical components and support the interoperability needed to seamlessly transfer 911 calls and data from one network to another. The rules require entities essential to delivering emergency calls in the NG911 environment to implement common sense measures to safeguard the reliability of NG911 networks and reduce the risk of 911 outages, and require certain entities to report on their support for NG911 interoperability.

We are also proposing to extend many existing interoperability requirements for the prior authorization of non-drug items and services to include prior authorizations for drugs to further reduce patient and provider burden.

Specifically, these proposed rules would improve the standardization, accuracy, and accessibility of public pricing disclosures in line with the goals of the Executive Order 14221. With respect to the in-network rate and out-of-network allowed amount machine-readable files, these proposed rules would achieve these goals by adding new contextual files and additional data elements like product type, network name, and enrollment counts; changing the reporting level for aggregation of data; removing in-network rates for unlikely provider-to-service mappings; increasing the reporting period and lowering the claims threshold for out-of-network historical data; and reducing the reporting cadence. These proposed rules would also improve the findability of all of the publicly disclosed machine- readable files required under the Transparency in Coverage rules, including the prescription drug file, by requiring a text file and footer with website URLs and contact information for the files. These proposed rules would also require pricing information that is made available through an online consumer tool and paper (upon request), to also be made available by phone, and establish that the satisfaction of such requirement also satisfies the requirements of section 114 of the No Surprises Act (including for grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage that are not otherwise subject to these proposed rules).","document_number":"2025-23693","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/23/2025-23693/transparency-in-coverage","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-23/pdf/2025-23693.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-23693.pdf?1766178909","publication_date":"2025-12-23","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","name":"Treasury Department","id":497,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/treasury-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/497","parent_id":null,"slug":"treasury-department"},{"raw_name":"Internal Revenue Service","name":"Internal Revenue Service","id":254,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/internal-revenue-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/254","parent_id":497,"slug":"internal-revenue-service"},{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","name":"Labor Department","id":271,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/271","parent_id":null,"slug":"labor-department"},{"raw_name":"Employee Benefits Security Administration","name":"Employee Benefits Security Administration","id":131,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/employee-benefits-security-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/131","parent_id":271,"slug":"employee-benefits-security-administration"},{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"}],"excerpts":"under <span class=\"match\">section</span> 2707(b) of the PHS Act) (as applicable), respectively (and these in-network deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums must be applied) in the same manner as if such cost-sharing payments were made with respect to services furnished by a participating <span class=\"match\">provider</span> or facility.\n 50 \n \n \n \n \n 48 \n  Codified in Code <span class=\"match\">section</span> 9816, ERISA <span class=\"match\">section</span> 716, and PHS Act <span class=\"match\">section</span> 2799A-1.\n \n \n \n \n 49 \n  Codified in Code <span class=\"match\">section</span> 9817, ERISA <span class=\"match\">section</span> 717, and PHS Act <span class=\"match\">section</span> 2799A-2.\n \n \n \n \n 50 \n  Codified in Code <span class=\"match\">sections</span> 9816 and 9817, ERISA <span class=\"match\">sections</span> 716 and"},{"title":"Medicare Program; Strengthening Oversight of Accrediting Organizations (AOs) and Preventing AO Conflicts of Interest, and Related Provisions","type":"Rule","abstract":"This final rule with comment period sets forth provisions to strengthen the oversight of Medicare national accrediting organizations by addressing conflicts of interest, establishing consistent standards, processes, and definitions, and updating the validation and performance standards systems.
