  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, June 11, 2026 – The federal government is putting pressure on communications firms to disclose foreign influence.\n\nThe Federal Communications Commission is expanding its role in national security with a new transparency rule that requires communications companies to disclose whether they are subject to foreign adversary control.\n\nSee Breakfast Club Membership Options!\n\n\n                            See Breakfast Club Membership Options\n                        \n\nThe rule requires covered FCC licensees and authorization holders to disclose whether they are owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary. Covered entities include holders of wireless, satellite, broadcast, submarine cable, domestic and international telecommunications authorizations, VoIP numbering, and equipment authorization holders.\n\n“This is another evolution in the FCC’s responsibilities that it’s taken in the national security space,” said former FCC Enforcement Bureau Chief **Loyaan Egal** who is now an attorney with Morgan Lewis. “Initially, it was an agency that was giving advice. Through the Secure Networks Act and the Secure Equipment Act it has begun to get its own specific role in the national security space.”\n\nThe rule takes effect June 9, although companies will not have to file the core attestations and disclosures until the FCC announces a compliance date.\n\nAuthorizations are sorted by assessed risk. Obligations range from a required yes-or-no attestation on whether they are subject to foreign adversary control to being exempt from the reporting obligation altogether.\n\nThe rule reaches beyond traditional foreign ownership disclosures by also covering control, direction, or jurisdiction by a foreign adversary. If a covered entity reports itself to be subject to the direction of a foreign adversary, it must disclose its equity and voting interest holders of 5% or greater.\n\nEgal, who served from 2022 to 2025, said the rule will require companies to examine ownership and control structures closely to determine whether they fall under the FCC’s new reporting obligations.\n\n“I think the tiered approach at least provides some kind of understanding and certainty to know what the guidelines are and what they should be looking for,” he added.",
