Enhancing Know-Your-Upstream-Provider Requirements
Re: Call Authentication Trust Anchor; Advanced Methods to Target and Eliminate Unlawful Robocalls, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, WC Docket No. 17-97; CG Docket No. 17-59 (May 20, 2026).
Over the past year, the FCC has adopted new tactics in our long-running effort to end the scourge of illegal robocalls. We're focused on hardening every portion of the call path against bad actor scammers.
Today'sitem is another example of that approach. For one, we're seeking comment on ways to ensure providers are taking reasonable steps to know their customers and upstream providers. This will prevent many bad actors from accessing the network in the first place. For another, we're proposing that carriers respond much more quickly to traceback requests. This will help us excise robocallers that gain network access.
For still another, we're seeking comment on requiring carriers to cooperate fully with law enforcement and industry efforts to stop illegal robocalls before they reach consumers. Taken together, these steps would strengthen our robocall mitigation framework by driving greater transparency and more meaningful accountability from providers.
At the end of the day, stopping illegal robocalls is going to require everyone in the voice ecosystem to do their part and be held accountable for the traffic they allow on their networks.
For their great work on this item, I want to thank Joseph Calascione, Cara Voth, Jodie May, Chris Laughlin, Mason Shefa, John Menges, Merry Wulff, Aaron Garza, Michael Scott, Dan Stepanicich, and Jonathan Lechter.

FCC Grants WXBU License Renewal After HSH Lancaster Agrees to $41,000 Contribution Over Public File Lapses
WASHINGTON, May 22 -- The Federal Communications Commission has approved a consent decree with HSH Lancaster (WLYH) Licensee LLC resolving an inquiry into the station's license renewal filing for WXBU, Lancaster, Pennsylvania (File No.: 0000212902). The Media Bureau's Video Division adopted the decree on May 21, 2026 and granted the station's renewal application, conditioned on the licensee's compliance with the agreement.

WASHINGTON, May 22 -- The Federal Communications Commission has approved a consent decree with HSH Lancaster (WLYH) Licensee LLC resolving an inquiry into the station's license renewal filing for WXBU, Lancaster, Pennsylvania (File No.: 0000212902). The Media Bureau's Video Division adopted the decree on May 21, 2026 and granted the station's renewal application, conditioned on the licensee's compliance with the agreement.
The Bureau's review of the renewal application found the licensee answered inaccurately to a certification about timely uploads to the station's online public inspection file(OPIF). The application, filed March 23, 2023, initially indicated that required materials had been uploaded when staff records showed a number of missing or late filings. After staff identified the discrepancies and suspended processing, the licensee amended its application on February 9, 2026 to disclose the late OPIF entries. The OPIF has since been brought up to date.
The Investigation centered on compliance with two rule provisions: the requirement to provide complete and accurate information to the Commission under section 1.17(a)(2), and the OPIF obligations for full service television stations under section 73.3526(e)(11). Division staff found multiple late or missing entries across three OPIF categories: quarterly TV issues/programs lists, commercial limits records for children's programming, and children's television programming reports.
Specifically, staff identified 12 TV issues/programs lists that were either missing or uploaded late. The station's late TV issues/programs lists included one filed under one month late, five filed between one month and one year late, and six filed over one year late. For commercial limits certifications, Division staff found 14 entries that were missing or late; those comprised 12 quarterly filings and two annual filings, with six between one month and one year late and eight over one year late. For children's television programming reports, 11 entries were missing or late, including four filed less than one month late, five between one month and one year late, and two over one year late. Some of these timing issues reflect transitions in filing frequency established in prior FCC rulemaking, which moved certain submissions from quarterly to annual filings beginning in 2020.
The consent decree reflects the parties' negotiated resolution: HSH Lancaster will make a voluntary contribution of $41,000 to the U.S. Treasury. The Video Division agreed to terminate its Investigation in exchange for the payment and other commitments in the consent decree. In entering the agreement, the Bureau determined grant of the renewal application for an eight-year term, from the prior license expiration date, serves the public interest under section 309(k)(1) of the Communications Act.
Under terms of the agreement, the licensee admitted the factual description in the consent decree concerning its late and missing OPIF filings but did not admit liability for violations of the Communications Laws. The Bureau stated it found no evidence of an intent to mislead; rather, the failures were attributed to administrative oversight. The consent decree requires the licensee to place a copy of the agreement into the station's OPIF within 15 days of the effective date, in the folder titled "FCC Investigations or Complaints," and to retain it until grant of the station's next renewal application.
The agreement also specifies payment mechanics and deadlines. The voluntary contribution is due within 15 days after the effective date; failure to pay when due constitutes an Event of Default that will accelerate the debt, trigger interest at the U.S. Prime Rate plus 4.75 percent, and expose the licensee to collection costs and other remedies. Payment must be made through the Commission's CORES system or by wire transfer, and the licensee must notify the Video Division upon payment.
The Bureau committed that, absent new material evidence, it will not use the facts developed in the Investigation through the effective date of the consent decree, or the existence of the consent decree itself, to initiate new adverse proceedings or to question the licensee's basic qualifications. The consent decree does not preclude investigation of subsequent evidence of noncompliance or adjudication of third-party complaints based on matters occurring after the effective date.
The consent decree will be incorporated into an adopting order without change and will be enforceable as an FCC order. The adopting order and the consent decree will be mailed to Armstrong Williams at the licensee's listed address and emailed to designated contacts. The Video Division's action was issued by Chief David J. Brown.
