The FCC’s Gateway Order, released on May 20, was published on July 18, that triggering certain compliance deadlines:

The Order imposes a number of new obligations on Gateway Providers designed to prevent foreign-originated illegal robocalls from entering U.S. networks. The Order defines Gateway Providers as a U.S.-based intermediate provider that receives a call directly from a foreign originating provider or a foreign intermediate provider. In other words, Gateway Providers are the entities whose U.S.-based facilities are the entry point into the U.S. for foreign-originated traffic.

By September 16, 2022, Gateway Providers must block traffic that the FCC has notified the provider constitutes potentially illegal robocalls. Providers immediately downstream from the Gateway Provider must block all traffic from the identified Gateway Provider if notified by the FCC that the Gateway Provider failed to meet its obligation to block illegal traffic.

In addition, the order mandated that by June 30, 2023, Gateway Providers must have implement STIR/SHAKEN in the IP portions of their network and authenticate unauthenticated foreign-originated calls using U.S. numbers in caller ID.
