SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0519. 

Title: Rules and Regulations 

Implementing the Telephone Consumer 

Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991, CG 

Docket No. 02–278. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Individuals or 

households; Not-for-profit institutions. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 49,397 respondents; 

135,607,383 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .004 

hours (15 seconds) to 1 hour. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement; On 

occasion reporting requirement; Thirdparty disclosure requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 625,406 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $4,590,000. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits; the statutory 

authority for the information collection 

requirements is found in the Telephone 

Consumer Protection Act of 1991 

(TCPA), Public Law 102–243, December 

20, 1991, 105 Stat. 2394, which added 

Section 227 of the Communications Act 

of 1934 [47 U.S.C. 227], Restrictions on 

the Use of Telephone Equipment. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Confidentiality is an issue to the extent 

that individuals and households 

provide personally identifiable 

information, which is covered under the 

FCC’s system of records notice (SORN), 

FCC/CGB–1, ‘‘Informal Complaints and 

Inquiries.’’ A system of records for the 

do-not-call registry was created by the 

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under 

the Privacy Act. The FTC published a 

notice in the Federal Register 

describing the system. See 68 FR 37494, 

June 24, 2003. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The 

Privacy Impact Assessment was 

completed on June 28, 2007. It may be 

reviewed at: http://www.fcc.gov/omd/ 

privacyact/ 

Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html. 

Needs and Uses: The reporting 

requirements included under this OMB 

Control Number 3060–0519 enable the 

Commission to gather information 

regarding violations of the Do-Not-Call 

Implementation Act (Do-Not-Call Act). 

If the information collection was not 

conducted, the Commission would be 

unable to track and enforce violations of 

the Do-Not-Call Act. The Do-Not-Call 

rules provide consumers with several 

options for avoiding most unwanted 

telephone solicitations. 

This national do-not-call registry 

supplements the current companyspecific do-not-call rules for those 

consumers who wish to continue 

requesting that particular companies not 

call them. Any company, which is asked 

by a consumer, including an existing 

customer, not to call again must honor 

that request for five (5) years. 

However, a provision of the 

Commission’s rules allows consumers to 

give specific companies permission to 

call them through an express written 

agreement. Nonprofit organizations, 

companies with whom consumers have 

an established business relationship, 

and calls to persons with whom the 

telemarketer has a personal relationship 

are exempt from the ‘‘do-not-call’’ 

registry requirements. 

On September 21, 2004, the 

Commission released the 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. 

On December 4, 2007, the 

Commission released the DNC NPRM 

seeking comment on its tentative 

conclusion that registrations with the 

Registry should be honored indefinitely, 

unless a number is disconnected or 

reassigned or the consumer cancels his 

registration. 

On June 17, 2008, the Commission 

released a Report and Order in CG 

Docket No. 02–278, FCC 08–147, 

amending the Commission’s rules under 

the Telephone Consumer Protection Act 

(TCPA) to require sellers and/or 

telemarketers to honor registrations with 

the National Do-Not-Call Registry so 

that registrations will not automatically 

expire based on the current five-year 

registration period. Specifically, the 

Commission modifies § 64.1200(c)(2) of 

its rules to require sellers and/or 

telemarketers to honor numbers 

registered on the Registry indefinitely or 

until the number is removed by the 

database administrator or the 

registration is cancelled by the 

consumer. 

In accordance with the Do-Not-Call 

Improvement Act of 2007, the 

Commission revises its rules to 

minimize the inconvenience to 

consumers of having to re-register their 

preferences not to receive telemarketing 

calls and to further the underlying goal 

of the National Do-Not-Call Registry to 

protect consumer privacy rights.
