FCC proposes data sharing with FTC to enhance consumer protection

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposes modifying its Privacy Act system of records, FCC/CGB-1, to allow sharing of anonymized or de-identified complaint data with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Consumer Sentinel Network. This change, effective August 11, 2026, aims to improve inter-agency cooperation on consumer protection efforts. It streamlines information exchange to better address consumer issues.
