Rescheduling of the Eighth Meeting of the Advisory Committee for the 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07 Advisory Committee), 74016 [05-23857]

Download as PDF 74016 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 239 / Wednesday, December 14, 2005 / Notices Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (‘‘TCPA’’). Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, Public Law 102– 243, 105 Statute 2394 (1991), codified at 47 U.S.C. 227. In particular, the Coalition asks the Commission to: (1) Affirm that, under its general grant of exclusive authority to regulate interstate communications, the Commission has exclusive authority to regulate interstate commercial fax messages; and (2) find that section 17538.43 of the California Business and Professions Code, and all other State laws that purport to regulate interstate facsimile transmissions, are preempted by the federal TCPA, 47 U.S.C. 227. In this document, the Commission seeks comment on the issues raised in the Coalition’s joint petition. The Coalition asserts that States lack jurisdiction to regulate interstate fax communications. According to the Coalition, Congress granted exclusive jurisdiction to the Commission over ‘‘all interstate and foreign communication’’ under the Communications Act of 1934. The Coalition argues that exclusive federal regulation of interstate commercial fax transmissions is consistent with congressional intent, 47 U.S.C. 227(e)(1), and with prior Commission decisions. In addition, the Coalition contends that individual states’ attempts to regulate interstate communication have resulted in varying fax regulation that is not only inconsistent with Congressional intent and the optimal goals of the TCPA, but extremely burdensome to the individuals, companies and other organizations that rely heavily on fax technology to conduct business. Accordingly, the Coalition maintains the Commission should preempt all State laws purporting to regulate interstate fax transmissions and assert exclusive jurisdiction over such regulation. In addition, the Coalition argues that on October 7, 2005, California enacted a law that conflicts with the fax requirements of the TCPA. The Coalition contends that California’s new law contains the text of section 227 of the Communications Act, without the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005 (‘‘JFPA’’) amendments, and applies that language to any person sending faxes into or out of the state. Consequently, the Coalition maintains that the California law effectively eliminates the established business relationship (‘‘EBR’’) exception to the prohibition on unsolicited faxes in the JFPA. The Coalition urges the Commission to declare that the Commission has exclusive jurisdiction to regulate VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:29 Dec 13, 2005 Jkt 208001 interstate commercial fax messages and all State efforts to do so are preempted.
