The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or the "Commission") continued its long-running fight against unwanted robocalls earlier this month, but the steps the Commission proposed may not make a significant impact immediately. On Friday, February 15th, the FCC released a notice of proposed rulemaking ("NPRM") seeking comment on issues associated with implementing new caller ID spoofing rules adopted by Congress as part of the 2018 RAY BAUM Act ("RB Act"). The proposals are part of a broader set of Commission actions targeting the scourge of robocalls.
