[VoiceOps] STIR SHAKEN requirement due by June 30th

[Mary Lou Carey]

Just wanted to give everyone an update on STIR/SHAKEN because the due 
date to be compliant is June 30th and a few changes have been made to 
the process recently (Last one was May 10th). I just spoke with Michael 
Nemcik at the FCC on Friday and with Brent Struthers with the STI-GA 
this morning to verify all this information because there's been a lot 
of confusion about the process.

The first change is that EVERY CARRIER needs to sign up for the 
mitigation database! Before you can comply with this final mitigation 
database step, you'll need:

1. 499 account (and FRNs for each associated company)

2. Company Code (aka OCN)

3. Robocall Mitigation Database plan

NOTE: If you have not gotten a STIR/SHAKEN certificate AND/OR are not 
100% compliant yet you'll have to submit the Robocall Mitigation Plan 
when you register for the database. There are only guidelines as to what 
your plan must include so you can write your own or get a consultant to 
help you! Follow the process below to sign up for the Mitigation 
Database.

There is no pre-registration process to qualify for a token. You'll 
register and note that you are either fully compliant, partially 
compliant or not compliant at all. Don't tell them what you plan to be 
on June 30th - list what you are today. ONCE YOU ARE FULLY COMPLIANT, 
THEN YOU CAN LOG BACK IN AND CHANGE YOUR STATUS!

Second change made earlier this year is that your company no longer 
needs to be certified as a CLEC, ILEC, IPES, or Wireless Carrier to get 
a STIR/SHAKEN certificate! If you' file 499s and have an agreement with 
a DID provider, you can get an OCN assigned and qualify for the 
STIR/SHAKEN certificate by completing the mitigation database process. 
Once your name has been published on the FCC site for the mitigation 
database, you can register with the STI-PA and work with a Certificate 
Authority to get a token and test your traffic.

                   1). Answer your current status: (fully compliant, 
partially compliant, non-compliant)

                   2). Submit your "Robocall Mitigation Plan"

4. Register with the STI-PA

5. Select a Certificate Authority to assign your token and test with:
https://authenticate.iconectiv.com/certification-authority-authenticate

6. If you have not filed as 100% compliant, go back into the mitigation 
database when you are done testing and revise your status to "100% 
compliant!"

If you have any questions, just give me a call!
