Subject: FCC To Propose Sweeping Changes To Regulation Of
International Telecommunications Service
by Daniel P. Brooks, Megan L. Brown, Edgar Classxs, Wayne D. Johnsen,
Eve Klindera Reed and Kevin G. Rupy
On March 30, 2023, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or
Commission) released an Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on
international section 214 authorizations (the Draft Order and Draft
NPRM), which governs international telecommunications service. This is
the latest effort in the agency's evolving role in national security
issues. The Draft NPRM proposes “comprehensive changes” to the FCC's
rules, which it describes as “another important step to protect the
nation's telecommunications infrastructure from threats in an evolving
national security and law enforcement landscape.” Because the FCC's
proposals would affect any company offering international services
originating or terminating in the United States, a broad range of
entities could be impacted. This includes any telecommunications
provider, such as satellite and wireless providers, as well as private
equity firms and others investing capital in such entities.

Subject: New TCPA Requirements For Non-Marketing Calls
by David O. Klein
On January 20, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
announced the implementation of new rules governing non-marketing
calls. The new rules were implemented pursuant to the Telephone
Consumer Protect Act ("TCPA") Exemptions Order published on February
25, 2021. The TCPA protects consumers against the receipt of certain
unsolicited telemarketing calls and text messages. Traditionally, the
FCC has focused on preventing marketing calls to consumers who have
not provided their consent to receive such calls. The Exemptions Order
is noteworthy because it places limits on the use of artificial and
prerecorded voice in non-marketing calls, which currently do not
require the recipient's consent under the TCPA. These new regulations
create numerous requirements and are scheduled to take effect on July
20, 2023.

Subject: Telephone And Texting Compliance News - March
By Russell H. Fox and Jonathan P. Garvin
We are pleased to present our latest edition of Telephone and Texting
Compliance News, providing insights and news related to the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). In this month's newsletter, we report
on the Federal Communications Commission's Sixth Caller ID Authenti-
cation Report and Order (Report and Order), which seeks to address
unlawful robocalling and caller ID spoofing. In adopting the Report
and Order, the Commission added a call authentication requirement for
the first (non-gateway) intermediate provider in the path of an
unauthenticated (Session Initiation Protocol) SIP call, extended
several Robocall Mitigation Database filing requirements to all
providers, and gave the Commission's Enforcement Bureau new tools to
combat robocalling. We also cover the Industry Traceback Group's
recent report on the progress the ITG, working with law enforcement,
including the Commission, made against illegal robocalling in 2022.
