Agency Rulemaking Highlights
Notable ActionsArtificial Intelligence and Robocalls
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a proposed rule to provide steps to protect consumers from the abuse of artificial intelligence (AI) in robocalls, while also clearing the path for positive uses of AI, which include its ability to improve access to the telephone network for disabled people. The proposed rule would define AI-generated calls, adopt new rules for callers to disclose AI-generated calls to consumers, and adopt protections to protect the positive uses of AI for telephone network access from Telephone Consumer Protection Act liability. Comments due October 10, with reply comments due October 25.
Emergency Alert System
FCC issued a final rule amending regulations governing the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts to add a new event code, MEP, to alert the public about missing and endangered persons (MEP) whose circumstances do not meet the criteria for AMBER alerts. Effective September 8, 2025.
Standards of Fill for Wine and Distilled Spirits
