Cybersecurity Policy Report, Robocall Rulemaking Backed by Banking Association, (Jul 16, 2026)

By Lynn Stanton

The American Bankers Association has offered its support for the draft further notice of proposed rulemaking on the robocall mitigation database (RMD) that the FCC is expected to vote on next week in WC dockets 24-213 and 17-97 and CG docket 17-59.

“It is critical that providers file robust plans describing how they will prevent criminal callers from accessing the provider’s network, and that the Commission hold providers accountable for following their plans and prevent bad actors from reentering the RMD under a new corporate identity,” the ABA said.

“We encourage the Commission to continue exploring measures that reduce the time required to identify and remove from the RMD providers that, based on objective evidence, appear to exist primarily to facilitate unlawful calling campaigns or other fraudulent communications,” it added.
