Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 147 / Tuesday, July 31, 2012 / Notices
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-NotCall Registry so that registrations will
not automatically expire based on the
current five year registration period.
Specifically, the Commission modified
§ 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.
Most recently, on February 15, 2012,
the Commission released a Report and
Order in CG Docket No. 02–278, FCC
12–21, revising its rules to: (1) Require
prior express written consent for all
autodialed or prerecorded telemarketing
calls to wireless numbers and for all
prerecorded telemarketing calls to
residential lines; (2) eliminate the
established business relationship
exception to the consent requirement for
prerecorded telemarketing calls to
residential lines; (3) require
telemarketers to include an automated,
interactive opt-out mechanism in all
prerecorded telemarketing calls, to
allow consumers more easily to opt out
of future robocalls during a robocall
itself; and (4) require telemarketers to
comply with the 3% limit on abandoned
calls during each calling campaign, in
order to discourage intrusive calling
campaigns.
Finally, the Commission also
exempted from the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act requirements
prerecorded calls to residential lines
made by health care-related entities
governed by the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of
1996.
