SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR 

or Rule), 16 CFR part 310. 

OMB Control Number: 3084–0097. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: As required by the 

Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and 

Abuse Prevention Act, 15 U.S.C. 6101– 

6108 (the ‘‘Telemarketing Act’’), the 

TSR mandates certain disclosures for 

telephone sales and requires 

telemarketers to retain certain records 

regarding advertising, sales, and 

employees. The required disclosures 

provide consumers with information 

necessary to make informed purchasing 

decisions. The required records are to be 

made available for inspection by the 

Commission and other law enforcement 

personnel to determine compliance with 

the Rule. Required records may also 

yield information helpful to measuring 

and redressing consumer injury 

stemming from Rule violations. 

Likely Respondents: Telemarketers to 

consumers. 

Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 

1,228,050 hours. 

• Disclosures (for live telemarketing 

calls and prerecorded calls): 1,215,946 

hours (which is derived from 826,389 

hours for pre-sales disclosures + 

363,048 hours for general sales 

disclosures + 26,509 hours for specific 

sales disclosures). 

• Reporting: 219 hours. 

• Recordkeeping: 11,885 hours. 

Estimated Annual Labor Cost Burden: 

$18,367,441 (which is derived from 

$441,169 (recordkeeping) + $17,923,044 

(disclosure) + $3,228 (reporting).1

Estimated Annual Non-Labor Cost: 

$4,619,156 (which is derived from 

$241,750 (office supplies) + $4,377,406 

(telephone charges)). 

As required by section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), the 

FTC is providing this opportunity for 

public comment before requesting that 

OMB extend the existing clearance for 

the information collection requirements 

contained in the TSR. 

Burden Estimates 

Brief description of the need for and 

proposed use of the information. 

Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 

1,228,050 Hours 

The estimated burden for 

recordkeeping compliance is 11,885 

hours for all industry members affected 

by the Rule. The estimated burden for 

the requisite disclosures for both live 

telemarketing calls and prerecorded 

calls is 1,215,946 hours for all affected 

industry members. Estimated burden for 

reporting requirements is 219 hours. 

Thus, the total PRA burden is 1,228,050 

hours. These estimates are explained 

below. 

Number of Respondents: 

In calendar year 2021, 11,756 

telemarketing entities accessed the Do 

Not Call Registry; however, 536 were 

‘‘exempt’’ entities obtaining access to 

data.2 Of the 11,220 non-exempt 

entities, 8,034 sellers and 3,186 

telemarketers accessed the Registry. Of 

those, however, 4,843 sellers and 1,992 

telemarketers obtained data for just one 

state. Staff assumes that these 6,835 

entities are operating solely intrastate, 

and thus would not be subject to the 

TSR.3 Therefore, Staff estimates that
