Stopping Bad Robocalls Act

 
This bill amends the Communications Act of 1934 to expand prohibitions against autodialed calls to include the making of robocalls. A &quot;robocall&quot; is a call or text message made: (1) using equipment that makes a series of calls to stored telephone numbers, including numbers stored on a list, or to telephone numbers produced using a random or sequential number generator; or (2) using an artificial or prerecorded voice. The definition does not include calls made on equipment that requires substantial additional human intervention to dial or place a call after a human initiates the series of calls.
 
The bill also: 
 
 
allows consumers to revoke prior express consent for receiving calls at any time and in any reasonable manner,
 
requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to apply certain consumer protections to exempted classes of robocalls, and
 
extends the statute of limitations to four years for violations of prohibitions on robocalls. 
 
 
The FCC must: (1) establish a nationwide database of consumer telephone numbers that have been reassigned to other consumers and safe harbor provisions to protect voice service providers against errors in the database, (2) make annual reports to Congress on its progress in stopping robocalls, and (3) prescribe regulations requiring voice service providers to implement caller identification information authentication standards.

Protecting Rational Incentives in Newsprint Trade Act of 2018 or the PRINT Act

 
This bill directs the Department of Commerce to conduct a study of, and to report to Congress regarding, the economic well-being, health, and vitality of the newsprint industry and the local newspaper publishing industry in the United States, including an assessment of:
 
 
the trends in demand for newsprint and traditional printed newspapers, in demand for digital or online consumption of news, and in the U.S. pulp and paper industry and the effect of declining demand for newsprint on the health of such industry;
 
measures undertaken by printers and newspaper publishers to reduce costs in response to increased costs for newsprint in the United States, and whether such measures have harmed local news coverage or reduced employment in the newspaper and publishing industries;
 
whether measures undertaken by publishers and printers to reduce costs have harmed local businesses that advertise in local newspapers; and
 
the global production capacity for newsprint in light of the declining demand for newsprint.
 
 
 Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission may not give effect to an affirmative determination in an antidumping or countervailing duty investigation relating to imports of uncoated groundwood paper until the President certifies that he has received the report and has concluded that giving effect to the determination is in the economic interest of the United States.
 
Until such time as the President issues the certification, the administering authority shall order a rate of zero for deposits posted in such an investigation.
