USTelecom Seeks Redesignation as Traceback Consortium

USTelecom sought redesignation of its Industry Traceback Group as the FCC's registered traceback consortium, in a letter posted Friday in docket 20-22 (see 2208220055). The group said its tracebacks "aid in the ongoing fight against fraudulent, abusive, and unlawful robocalls in several ways," noting ITG data resulted in "an eight-fold decline in the number of student loan robocalls over the course of 2022." The ITG "continues successfully to meet the criteria established in the Traced Act for the registered consortium" and its track record "demonstrates that it remains the right entity for the role," USTelecom said.
