Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 30, 2010 / Notices
completing calls to certain persons
dialed by prison inmates.
According to the Petition, correctional
facilities contract with Global Tel to
provide out-bound communication
services for incarcerated persons. When
an inmate without a pre-paid calling
card or debit calling account sanctioned
by the correctional facility attempts to
call an individual for the first time, and
that individual is not served by a local
exchange carrier with which Global Tel
has a billing arrangement or the inmate
has dialed a called party’s cell phone,
the call cannot be completed unless and
until a billing arrangement with the
called party is established. Once the
inmate dials the desired number, Global
Tel captures the number and initiates an
automated interactive voice response
notification to inform the called party
that an incarcerated person is
attempting to contact him or her and the
called party must establish an account
in order to receive the call. Global Tel
makes three attempts to notify the called
party to establish an account to receive
inmate calls. Without the relief
requested in the Petition, according to
Global Tel, it is exposed to risk of
unnecessary litigation from persons
bringing private actions under the
TCPA.
In relevant part, the TCPA regulates
the use of automated telephone
equipment. Section 227(b)(1)(B) of the
TCPA makes it unlawful to place a nonemergency telephone call to a
residential line ‘‘using an artificial or
prerecorded voice’’ without the
recipient’s consent unless the call is
‘‘exempted by rule or order of the
Commission under paragraph (2)(B).’’
Paragraph (2)(B), in turn, authorizes the
Commission to enact limited
exemptions from this ban, including an
exemption for calls ‘‘that are not made
for a commercial purpose’’ or ‘‘do not
include the transmission of any
unsolicited advertisement.’’ Further,
section 227(b)(1)(A) of the TCPA
prohibits the use of any automatic
telephone dialing system or an artificial
or prerecorded voice to call any
telephone number assigned to a cellular
telephone service absent an emergency
purpose or the ‘‘prior express consent of
the called party.’’ Section 227(b)(2)(C)
gives the Commission authority to
exempt from this prohibition only those
‘‘calls to a telephone number assigned to
a cellular telephone service that are not
charged to the called party, subject to
such conditions as the Commission may
prescribe as necessary in the interest of
the privacy rights the provision is
intended to protect.’’
Global Tel presents several arguments
to support its request for a declaratory
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
ruling. First, Global Tel argues that the
automated notification calls that it
places to inform a called party that an
incarcerated person has dialed the
party’s telephone number and that a
payment account is required to receive
the call are not solicitation or
telemarketing calls, but instead simply
inform a called party how to establish
an account for the purpose of receiving
calls from an inmate. Global Tel asserts
its notification calls should be exempt
pursuant to section 227(b)(2)(B) of the
TCPA because the calls are not made for
a commercial purpose and do not
transmit an unsolicited advertisement.
Global Tel further asserts that the
Commission’s ruling that autodialed
and prerecorded message calls to
wireless numbers that are provided by
the called party to a creditor in
connection with an existing debt are
permissible as calls made with the
‘‘prior express consent’’ of the called
party makes its prerecorded message
calls to parties called by inmates
permissible. Global Tel contends that
the inmate possesses the prior express
consent of the called party to be
contacted at the number provided.
Global Tel states that its interactive
voice recognition platform is neither a
predictive dialer nor a form of
autodialing as contemplated by the
TCPA. Lastly, Global Tel argues that
although the TCPA should not apply to
its notification calls and practices, these
calls and practices meet the technical
and procedural standards for artificial or
prerecorded voice systems set forth in
section 227(d)(3) of the TCPA.
