2,411 Robocall Mitigation Database Filers Directed to Cure Certification Deficiencies

On December 10, 2024, the Enforcement Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission released an Order directing 2,411 filers in the Robocall Mitigation Database to cure deficiencies in their filing. Per the Order, the certifications of the identified companies were deficient because (a) a robocall mitigation plan was not provided or lacked newly-required information, and (b) the certification lacked newly-required information. Identified companies must respond to the Order within 14 days of publication of the Order in the Federal Register. Companies that fail to respond by the deadline face removal from the Robocall Mitigation Database, resulting in voice providers and intermediate providers being prohibited from accepting calls directly from the company.

The newly-required information referenced in the Order refers to updated certification and expanded robocall mitigation plan filing requirements that were required to be posted in the Robocall Mitigation Database by all providers in the call chain as of February 26, 2024.

Identified companies must cure the deficiencies in their filing and file a written response with the Enforcement Bureau notifying the Bureau that the deficiency has been cured or explaining why the Bureau should not remove the Company from the Robocall Mitigation Database.
