Needs and Uses: On March 11, 2003, 

the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act 

(Do-Not-Call Act) was signed into law 

requiring the Commission to issue a 

final rule in its ongoing TCPA 

proceeding within 180 days of March 

11, 2003, and to consult and coordinate 

with the Federal Trade Commission 

(FTC) to ‘‘maximize consistency’’ with 

the rule promulgated by the FTC in 

2002. On March 25, 2003, the FCC 

released a Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (FNPRM) seeking comment 

on the Commission’s requirements 

under the Do-Not-Call Act. On July 3, 

2003, the Commission released a Report 

and Order (2003 TCPA Order), the 

Commission revised the current TCPA 

rules and adopted new rules to provide 

consumers with several options for 

avoiding unwanted telephone 

solicitations. The Commission 

established a national do-not-call 

registry for consumers who wish to 

avoid most unwanted telemarketing 

calls. This national do-not-call registry 

will supplement the current companyspecific do-not-call rules for those 

consumers who wish to continue 

requesting that particular companies not 

call them. The FCC also adopted a new 

provision to permit consumers to 

provide permission to call to specific 

companies by an express written 

agreement. The TCPA rules exempt 

from the ‘‘do-not-call’’ requirements 

nonprofit organizations, companies with 

whom consumers have an established 

business relationship, and calls to 

persons with whom the telemarketer has 

a personal relationship. Any company, 

which is asked by a consumer, 

including an existing customer, not to 

call again must honor that request for 

five (5) years. 

The Commission retains the current 

calling time restrictions of 8 a.m. until 

9 p.m. On September 21, 2004, the 

Commission released an Order (2004 

Safe Harbor Order), establishing a 

limited safe harbor in which persons 

will not be liable for placing autodialed 

and prerecorded message calls to 

numbers ported from a wireline service 

within the previous 15 days. The 

Commission also amended its existing 

national do-not-call registry safe harbor 

to require telemarketers to scrub their 

lists against the do-not-call database 

every 31 days.
