Section 13(d)(1) of the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act) directed the the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) to establish a process for registering a "single consortium that conducts private-led efforts to trace back the origin of suspected unlawful robocalls." The FCC is required to consider new interested consortia on an annual basis.
On April 20, 2022, the FCC's Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) issued a Public Notice requesting parties interested in serving as the consortium to submit Letters of Intent (LOI). The current registered consortium - the USTelecom - The Broadband Association's Industry Traceback Group (ITG) - need not submit such an LOI.
