(3) The Commission shall include in such rules re-
specting other abusive telemarketing acts or practices—
(A) a requirement that telemarketers may not
undertake a pattern of unsolicited telephone calls
which the reasonable consumer would consider coer-
cive or abusive of such consumer’s right to privacy,
(B) restrictions on the hours of the day and
night when unsolicited telephone calls can be made
to consumers, and
(C) a requirement that any person engaged in
telemarketing for the sale of goods or services shall
promptly and clearly disclose to the person receiving
the call that the purpose of the call is to sell goods
or services and make such other disclosures as the
Commission deems appropriate, including the na-
ture and price of the goods and services.
In prescribing the rules described in this paragraph, the
Commission shall also consider recordkeeping require-
ments.
(b) RULEMAKING.—The Commission shall prescribe the
rules under subsection (a) within 365 days after the date of
enactment of this Act. Such rules shall be prescribed in ac-
cordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code.
(c) ENFORCEMENT.—Any violation of any rule pre-
scribed under subsection (a) shall be treated as a violation of
(1) Tourism, including conventions and meet-
ings, is an important part of the United States econ-
omy that generates billions of dollars in tax revenues 
for many localities. 
(2) Analysts estimate that approximately 90 
percent of employers in the travel industry are small 
businesses and more than 12 percent of United 
States employees are employed by the travel indus-
try. 
(3) Many local economies around the country 
have developed into destinations for vacationers and 
conventioneers alike, and those local economies de-
pend on the travel industry to support local employ-
ment, create new jobs, and generate tax revenues for 
critical public services. 
(4) These same destinations are home to large 
and small businesses that have unique skills, amen-
ities, and resources for planning and facilitating 
meetings and conventions for all purposes and, con-
sequently, may deliver value and convenience for in-
dividuals and organizations in need of a location for 
an official event. 
(5) Locating an official event in such a city fre-
quently may save taxpayer dollars, as compared to 
other locations.

(6) Agencies and departments of the United 
States have a responsibility to find ways to maximize 
taxpayer dollars in conducting official business, in-
cluding planning and conducting official meetings 
attended by Federal employees. 
(7) In deciding where to locate an official gov-
ernment meeting by applying this principle of maxi-
mizing taxpayer dollars, government officials often 
will conclude that many locations known as resort 
destinations also will provide the best value and con-
venience for official meetings and business. 
(8) Resort and vacation destination cities tend 
to be affected disproportionally during economic 
downturns and, therefore, are especially vulnerable 
to discrimination by meeting and convention plan-
ners, which could exacerbate unemployment and re-
lated demands on United States taxpayers.
