Sixth Circuit to Rehear Case on FCC Data Breach Rules Case

The U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals will rehear a case involving expanded Federal Communications Commission (FCC) data breach rules for telecommunications companies. The Republican-led FCC has signaled it may reverse the rules administratively, but industry groups and Republican lawmakers are seeking to eliminate the legal precedent supporting them entirely.

Why it matters: Telecom service providers and their vendors face uncertainty about data breach notification obligations; practitioners should monitor this case and potential FCC rulemaking for changes to breach reporting timelines and notification requirements.
