FCC Wireline Competition Bureau Announces Posting of 2026 Tariff Review Plans for Exogenous Cost Filings of Rate-of-Return Carriers
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 -- The Federal Communications Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau issued the following public notice (WC Docket Nos. 26-50, 17-144) on Sept. 2, 2026:
* * *
By this Public Notice, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) announces the release of the 2026 tariff review plan (TRP) workbooks for rate-of-return local exchange carriers (carriers) that elected incentive regulation for their business data services (BDS) pursuant to the Rate-of-Return BDS Order to calculate exogenous cost adjustments to their tariffed BDS rates.1 The TRP workbooks are posted on the Commission's ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 -- The Federal Communications Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau issued the following public notice (WC Docket Nos. 26-50, 17-144) on Sept. 2, 2026: * * * By this Public Notice, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) announces the release of the 2026 tariff review plan (TRP) workbooks for rate-of-return local exchange carriers (carriers) that elected incentive regulation for their business data services (BDS) pursuant to the Rate-of-Return BDS Order to calculate exogenous cost adjustments to their tariffed BDS rates.1 The TRP workbooks are posted on the Commission'swebsite at: https://www.fcc.gov/wireline-competition/2026-2027-mid-course-bds-trpsincentive-regulation-ilecs.
The 2026 Tariff Review Plan Order requires rate-of-return carriers that elected BDS incentive regulation to file TRP workbooks reflecting any exogenous cost adjustment for Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS), North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA), and regulatory fees in BDS rates to be effective October 1, 2026.2 The TRP workbooks adjust BDS rates using the most recent factors for TRS contribution fees, NANPA contribution fees, and regulatory fees for interstate telecommunications service providers.3 The TRP workbooks gross-up the going-forward exogenous cost adjustment to BDS rates for TRS. As the Bureau explained in the 2026 Tariff Review Plan Order, the exogenous cost adjustment for TRS must be "grossed up" to spread the entire adjustment over the remaining months in the tariff year because the final contribution factor was not available by May 1, 2026, and the TRS fees are tariff-year obligations.4
The TRP workbooks posted on the Commission's website were prepared by the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) for electing carriers for which NECA files BDS rates and are designed to ensure that carriers make exogenous cost and rate adjustments in accordance with the Commission's rules.5 Carriers that do not participate in the NECA tariff should also file a TRP.6 Commission staff reviewed the TRP workbooks released today and carriers are encouraged to use them. Carriers may alternatively create and submit their own TRP workbooks, as long as those TRP workbooks comply with the Commission's rules and provide the same level of detail as the workbooks prepared by NECA. Carriers should submit their TRP workbooks, data, and formulas in an Excel format rather than a PDF format.7 For exogenous cost tariff filings to be effective October 1, 2026, tariff filings made on 15 days' notice are due on September 16, 2026 and tariff filings made on 7 days' notice are due on September 24, 2026.8
Consistent with the 2026 Tariff Review Plan Order, the October 1, 2026 exogenous cost filing and rate adjustment is optional for electing carriers if the total amount of such exogenous cost adjustments would either increase rates or equal or fall below the de minimis threshold of $1,040.00, which is the current standard tariff filing fee.9 Finally, we remind carriers submitting tariff revisions reflecting exogenous cost adjustments that they must pay the $1,040.00 standard tariff filing fee through the payment system in the Commission's Registration System (CORES).10

FCC Cuts Off Providers for Violating Robocall Rules
Fourteen Companies Will Be Blocked from Connecting to U.S. Phone Networks
-
Today, the Federal Communications Commission effectively prohibited 14 voice service providers from connecting to U.S. networks for failing to comply with FCC robocall rules. The FCC's Enforcement Bureau removed the companies from its Robocall Mitigation Database and ordered U.S. voice service providers and intermediate providers to block calls from ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 -- The Federal Communications Commission issued the following news release on Sept. 2, 2026: * * * FCC Cuts Off Providers for Violating Robocall Rules Fourteen Companies Will Be Blocked from Connecting to U.S. Phone Networks - Today, the Federal Communications Commission effectively prohibited 14 voice service providers from connecting to U.S. networks for failing to comply with FCC robocall rules. The FCC's Enforcement Bureau removed the companies from its Robocall Mitigation Database and ordered U.S. voice service providers and intermediate providers to block calls fromthese companies. All providers operating on U.S. networks have two days to begin blocking all traffic from these companies, in compliance with the Commission's Robocall Mitigation Database and call blocking rules.
Chairman Brendan Carr issued the following statement:
"Today's action pushes more than a dozen providers off of U.S. networks for failing to abide by our robocall rules. The FCC continues to attack the problem of illegal robocalls at every point along the call path, and everyone in this ecosystem has an obligation to step up and do what they can to protect consumers against fraud and scammers."
Additional Background Information:
The 14 companies removed from the FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database today had been ordered to correct deficiencies in their database certifications and show cause why they should not be removed. But these companies failed to respond or take meaningful steps to update their database filings. The removed providers are: Apps Communications, CFX Business Solutions, Conference America, Convergence Technology Solutions, CSB Technologies, Digital Division, Dixie Net Communications, HIGHCOMM, Inatech Solutions, makrodepot, Opex Communications, Reachme.com, SECURE, and Skycom Healthcare.
The FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database was established to promote transparency and effective robocall mitigation. This database is a critical tool through which the agency ensures providers are actively combatting robocalls and implementing STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication. Providers are required to certify that they have implemented STIR/SHAKEN on all IP-based portions of their networks. All providers must also submit robocall mitigation plans. Failure to meet these obligations can result in removal from the database and blocking of the provider's traffic.

Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following remarks on Sept. 1, 2026, by Commissioner Hester M. Peirce on proposed transfer agent rules: * * * Time to Transfer I am delighted that the transfer agent rule proposal is seeing the light of day before I leave the Commission. Thank you to Jamie Selway, Elizabeth Fitzgerald, Moshe Rothman, and the rest of the staff in the Division of Trading and Markets and to others across the Commission, including staff in the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis and Office of General Counsel, for getting this proposal overthe finish line.
The transfer agent proposal has been rattling around the Commission corridors for a long time. In June 2015, Commissioners Luis Aguilar and Dan Gallagher noted the urgent need for updates to the transfer agent rules:
The Commission has not significantly revised its transfer agent rules in almost 30 years, a period that has witnessed sweeping changes in the securities industry, particularly in transfer agents' activities. As a result, the Commission's anachronistic transfer agent rules and the services that the nation's . . . transfer agents provide today are out of sync./1
The Commissioners recommended moving immediately to a proposal, rather than issuing a concept release, as the Commission did later that year, because "[a] lengthy delay in updating the Commission's transfer agent rules would be bad for the markets, investors, and issuers."/2 More than a decade and many additional "sweeping changes" later, the Commission is finally heeding the Commissioners' call and issuing a proposal. I am pleased to support it and, although I will not be here to assist, I will be cheering the Commission from the outside as it finalizes the rule.
Transfer agents perform a critical role in today's markets. They maintain the official record of ownership of an issuer's securities and facilitate the issuance, cancellation, and transfer of securities. When the Commission first adopted the rules governing transfer agents, holding paper share certificates was the norm. Now few paper certificates exist, and transfer agents and other market participants are looking to a future in which many shares will be tokenized. Our rules need to reflect the new realities of how shares are held and transferred.
In addition, we need to empower transfer agents to do a better job in combatting microcap fraud. To this end, the proposed rules include requirements for registered transfer agents to develop compliance policies and procedures and to refrain from improperly removing restrictive legends from shares. The proposal takes a balanced approach: it requires transfer agents to have a reasonable basis for their actions but does not ask them to take on a role that is outside their mandate.
I look forward to comments on all aspects of the proposal. Markets, technology, and regulation have changed so much since we issued our concept release, let alone since the rules currently on the books were written. Public comment, therefore, will be essential to enabling us to get these amendments right and sufficiently flexible to accommodate future developments. I am interested in public feedback on the following questions, among others in the proposing release:
1. The role of transfer agents may change over time. As securities move onchain, do you anticipate that transfer agents will perform more tasks or fewer? How should we adapt our rules to accommodate potential changes in the role of transfer agents?
2. Are there transfer agent rules, either in their current or proposed form, that should be adjusted to help facilitate onchain trading of tokenized securities? For example, should transfer agents continue to be required to collect names and physical addresses of securityholders or should the rule allow other identifiers, such as email and digital wallet addresses, to be collected instead?
3. Are the proposed amendments to Rule 17ad-17 appropriate given the recent adoption of inactivity standards in state escheatment laws and the increased use of electronic methods of communication and payment? Do these amendments properly protect investors without imposing unreasonable burdens on transfer agents and broker-dealers?
4. Are the proposed additional requirements, such as the requirement to disclose certain service providers on the Form TA-2, appropriate in light of the role played by transfer agents and what the Commission requires (or does not require) of other registrants?

SEC Charges Former CEO of Lugano Diamonds in Alleged Massive Accounting and Offering Fraud
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:
* * *
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Ferder, et al., No. 8:26-cv-02492 (C.D. Cal. filed Aug. 31, 2026)
On August 31, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges against Mordechai Ferder, the founder and former CEO of Lugano Diamonds & Jewelry, Inc., for allegedly running a fraud scheme that caused Lugano and its public parent company, Compass Diversified Holdings ("CODI"), to recognize more than a billion dollars of fictitious revenue.
According to the SEC's complaint, ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release: * * * Securities and Exchange Commission v. Ferder, et al., No. 8:26-cv-02492 (C.D. Cal. filed Aug. 31, 2026) On August 31, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges against Mordechai Ferder, the founder and former CEO of Lugano Diamonds & Jewelry, Inc., for allegedly running a fraud scheme that caused Lugano and its public parent company, Compass Diversified Holdings ("CODI"), to recognize more than a billion dollars of fictitious revenue. According to the SEC's complaint,filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Ferder orchestrated a fraud scheme from 2021 to 2025 that centered on him convincing individuals to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in diamonds that Ferder and Lugano never owned. As alleged, Ferder made material misrepresentations to investors, including false claims that he or Lugano would acquire the diamonds that were the subject of the investment contracts, that he would identify a buyer for the diamond underpinning an investment contract, and that he would create a piece of jewelry from the diamond or otherwise try to increase the value of the investment. In reality, Ferder and Lugano neither bought nor took any steps to increase the value of the investment contract diamonds, instead making Ponzi-like payments back to the investors. The complaint further alleges that Ferder directed Lugano to fraudulently record investor funds as revenue--causing Lugano and CODI, which acquired Lugano in 2021, to recognize over a billion dollars of fictitious revenue--and to disguise repayments to the investors as inventory purchases. According to the complaint, after Ferder's conduct was discovered in 2025, CODI restated its financial statements to correct the value of Lugano's net identifiable assets at the time of the acquisition from $179 million to just $5 million, and erased over 85% of Lugano's revenue that CODI reported after the acquisition.
The SEC's complaint charges Ferder with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5 and 13b2-1 thereunder, and Simba IL Holdings LLC, an entity controlled by Ferder, with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement with prejudgment interest, and civil money penalties against Ferder and Simba, as well as an officer and director bar against Ferder. The complaint also names Ferder and his wife, Edit Ferder, as relief defendants in their capacities as trustees of three family trusts, which the complaint alleges received proceeds of the fraud.
The SEC's investigation, which is continuing, was conducted by Nishchay Maskay, John Archfield, and Mark Oh, with assistance from trial counsel Chris Carney, bankruptcy counsel David Baddley, and Alex Lefferts of the Enforcement Division's Office of Investigative and Market Analytics, under the supervision of Jeff Leasure, Kristen Dieter, Jim Connor, and Michael Brennan. The SEC's litigation will be conducted by Mr. Carney and Mr. Maskay under the supervision of Mr. Connor.

Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 -- The Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued the following news release: * * * CFTC Issues Final Rule to Modify Clearing Requirement for Canadian Dollar- and Mexican Peso-Denominated Interest Rate Swaps * WASHINGTON -The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today issued a final rule to modify its interest rate swap clearing requirement. The final rule updates the swaps required to be submitted for clearing to a derivatives clearing organization or an exempt DCO under part 50 of the CFTC's regulations. The final rule amends the regulations to remove the requirementto clear interest rate swaps referencing the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate and the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate, also known as TIIE, and replace it with a requirement to clear Canadian dollar (CAD)- and Mexican peso (MXN)-denominated interest rate swaps referencing overnight, nearly risk-free rates.
The final rule amends CFTC Regulations 50.4 and 50.26 to include a new set of swaps required to be cleared, removes swaps no longer required to be cleared, and amends associated compliance dates.
Specifically, the amendments:
* Change the stated termination date range for swaps denominated in CAD that reference the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average as a floating rate index in the overnight index swap (OIS) class to be seven days to 30 years.
* Add to the OIS class swaps denominated in MXN that reference the Overnight TIIE Funding Rate as a floating rate index with a stated termination date range of 28 days to 21 years.
* Remove swaps denominated in CAD that reference CDOR as a floating rate index from the fixed-to-floating swap class.
* Remove swaps denominated in MXN that reference TIIE as a floating rate index from the fixed-to-floating swap class.
The final rule will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
