Description
I. INTRODUCTION In 2003, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") revised its Telemarketing Sales Rule ("TSR") to establish a national Do-Not-Call Registry for commercial telemarketing. (1) Thereafter, Congress directed the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to coordinate its telemarketing regulations under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") of 1991 (2) to achieve maximum consistency between the two agencies' telemarketing restrictions. (3) Now, the two agencies enforce a single list containing the personal telephone numbers of consumers who do not wish to receive calls from telemarketers. (4) Based on the agencies' different statutory authorities, some parties are exempt from the FTC rule (banks and insurance companies for example) but are covered by the FCC rules. Nonprofit solicitation is exempt from the national Do-Not-Call Registry, (5) but is covered by other provisions of the FTC rule. (6) The TSR created a new in-house no-call list requirement and imposed additional restrictions not previously known for nonprofit solicitors. (7) These restrictions apply, however, only if a commercial telemarketer is conducting the solicitation call. (8)
