FCC FRN Monitoring
Your FCC Registration Number is the foundation of your regulatory identity. We continuously monitor your registration information to ensure company details remain accurate and current.
Compliance monitoring
Your filing was accepted.
That isn't the same as correct.
FCC obligations don't end when you hit submit. Regulations evolve, revenue classifications change, contribution requirements are adjusted, and government databases need maintaining. One mistake on a Form 499, an outdated RMD filing, a missed CPNI certification — that's how audits, penalties and overpayments start.
StirShield is monthly FCC compliance monitoring, auditing and remediation. We watch all of it, year-round.
The most expensive FCC filing is
the one that was done wrong.
A company can spend years overpaying USF contributions, billing customers improperly, missing available exemptions, or carrying inaccurate regulatory records — and never know until an audit says so. Doing nothing is not neutral. It compounds.
What StirShield monitors
Six obligations. One team watching all of them.
We don't enter numbers into forms and click submit. We review your business, your services, your revenue streams, your customers and your obligations — so the filing is accurate, optimised and defensible.
Robocall Mitigation Database
The RMD is not a file-it-once-and-forget-it requirement. Certifications must be updated whenever your operations, mitigation practices or contact details materially change — and traceback requests need a timely, documented response.
FCC Form 499-A & 499-Q
The most financially important filings you make. Providers routinely overpay into the USF, misclassify revenue, apply the wrong contribution methodology, invoice customers incorrectly, and miss exemptions they were entitled to.
Annual CPNI Compliance
CPNI compliance is more than an annual certification. Procedures, employee training records, documentation and internal safeguards all have to hold up year-round — not just on filing day.
USF Contribution Review
We review revenue classifications, contribution methodology and customer invoicing to determine the maximum lawful exemptions available to you — and to stop you paying for ones you never owed.
Regulator Communications
FCC questions, USAC inquiries, audit requests and traceback issues. We help gather what is needed and manage the correspondence, so it does not land on your desk cold.
Refunds & revisions
Already filed? That doesn't mean the numbers are right.
We review historical filings for errors, overpayments and opportunities to correct. Consulting work has helped some providers cut unnecessary costs by over $1,000,000 annually — by fixing inaccurate Form 499 reporting, optimising revenue classification and recovering USF overpayments.
