The Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and 
Deterrence Act (TRACED Act) was signed into law on December 30, 2019.
Congress required the Federal Communications Commission, not later than 90 
days after that date, to “issue rules to establish a registration process 
for the registration of a single consortium that conducts private-led 
efforts to trace back the origin of suspected unlawful robocalls.”

The Commission adopted rules to require any consortium that seeks to be 
selected as the single registered consortium to file a Letter of Intent to 
conduct private traceback efforts and directed the Enforcement Bureau to 
issue a public notice to that effect no later than April 28th each year.
