Telemarketing Sales Rule Fees
Federal Trade Commission.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Federal Trade
Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’ or
‘‘FTC’’) is amending its Telemarketing
Sales Rule (‘‘TSR’’) by updating the fees
charged to entities accessing the
National Do Not Call Registry (the
‘‘Registry’’) as required by the Do-NotCall Registry Fee Extension Act of 2007.
DATES: Effective Date: The revised fees
will become effective October 1, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of this
document should be sent to: Public
Reference Branch, Federal Trade
Commission, Room 130, 600
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington,
DC 20580. Copies of this document are
also available on the Internet at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply
with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee
Extension Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–188,
122 Stat. 635) (‘‘Act’’), the Commission
is amending the TSR by updating the
fees entities are charged for accessing
the Registry as follows: the revised rule
increases the annual fee for access to the
Registry for each area code of data from
$58 to $59 per area code; increases the
fee per area code of data during the
second six months of an entity’s annual
subscription period from $29 to $30;
and increases the maximum amount
that will be charged to any single entity
for accessing area codes of data from
$15,962 to $16,228.
These increases are in accordance
with the Act, which specifies that
beginning after fiscal year 2009, the
dollar amounts charged shall be
increased by an amount equal to the
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
amounts specified in the Act, multiplied
by the percentage (if any) by which the
average of the monthly consumer price
index (for all urban consumers
published by the Department of Labor)
(‘‘CPI’’) for the most recently ended 12month period ending on June 30
exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period
ending June 30, 2008. The Act also
states that any increase shall be rounded
to the nearest dollar and that there shall
be no increase in the dollar amounts if
the change in the CPI is less than one
percent. For fiscal year 2009, the Act
specified that the original annual fee for
access to the Registry for each area code
of data was $54 per area code, or $27
per area code of data during the second
six months of an entity’s annual
subscription period, and that the
maximum amount that would be
charged to any single entity for
accessing area codes of data would be
$14,850.
The determination whether a fee
change is required and the amount of
the fee change involves a two-step
process. First, to determine whether a
fee change is required, we measure the
change in the CPI from the time of the
previous increase in fees. There was an
increase in the fees for fiscal year 2013.
Accordingly, we calculated the change
in the CPI since last year, and the
increase was 1.66 percent. Because this
change is over the one percent
threshold, the fees will change for fiscal
year 2014.
Second, to determine how much the
fees should increase this fiscal year, we
use the calculation specified by the Act
set forth above, the percentage change in
the baseline CPI applied to the original
fees for fiscal year 2009. The average
value of the CPI for July 1, 2007 to June
30, 2008 was 211.702; the average value
for July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 was
231.352, an increase of 9.28 percent.
Applying the 9.28 percent increase to
the base amount from fiscal year 2009,
leads to an increase from $58 to $59 in
the fee from last year for access to a
single area code of data for a full year
for fiscal year 2014. The actual amount
is $59.01, but when rounded, pursuant
to the Act, the amount is $59. The fee
for accessing an additional area code for
a half year increases to $29.51 (rounded
to $30). The maximum amount charged
increases to $16,228.08 (rounded to
$16,228).
Administrative Procedure Act;

The revisions to the Fee Rule are
technical in nature and merely
incorporate statutory changes to the

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
adopted without change or

unnecessary. Therefore, the Commission
has determined that the notice and

Administrative Procedure Act do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). For this
reason, the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act also do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 603, 604. Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’)
approved the information collection
requirements in the Amended TSR and
assigned the following existing OMB
Control Number: 3084–0097. The
amendments outlined in this Final Rule
pertain only to the fee provision

(d) Each person who pays, either
directly or through another person, the
annual fee set forth in § 310.8(c), each
person excepted under § 310.8(c) from
paying the annual fee, and each person
excepted from paying an annual fee
under § 310.4(b)(1)(iii)(B), will be
provided a unique account number that
will allow that person to access the
registry data for the selected area codes
at any time for the twelve month period
beginning on the first day of the month
in which the person paid the fee (‘‘the
annual period’’). To obtain access to
additional area codes of data during the
first six months of the annual period,
each person required to pay the fee
under § 310.8(c) must first pay $59 for
each additional area code of data not
initially selected. To obtain access to
additional area codes of data during the
second six months of the annual period,
each person required to pay the fee
under § 310.8(c) must first pay $30 for
each additional area code of data not
initially selected. The payment of the
additional fee will permit the person to
access the additional area codes of data
for the remainder of the annual period.

permit time for consideration of public
comments sought in conjunction with
an interim final rule published April 24,
2013, 78 FR 24047. The 2011 Wage Rule
revised the methodology by which the
Department calculates the prevailing
wages to be paid to H–2B workers and
United States workers recruited in
connection with a temporary labor
certification for use in petitioning the
Department of Homeland Security to
employ a nonimmigrant worker in H–2B
status. The 2011 Wage Rule was
originally scheduled to become effective

date has been extended a number of
times, most recently to October 1, 2013.
We are now delaying the effective date
of the 2011 Wage Rule indefinitely. This
rule does not affect the Interim Final
Rule, 78 FR 24047, published on April
24, 2013, establishing the current
prevailing wage methodology for the H–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee
Extension Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-188, 122 Stat. 635) (``Act''), the
Commission is amending the TSR by updating the fees entities are
charged for accessing the Registry as follows: the revised rule
increases the annual fee for access to the Registry for each area code
of data from $58 to $59 per area code; increases the fee per area code
of data during the second six months of an entity's annual subscription
period from $29 to $30; and increases the maximum amount that will be
charged to any single entity for accessing area codes of data from
$15,962 to $16,228.
These increases are in accordance with the Act, which specifies
that beginning after fiscal year 2009, the dollar amounts charged shall
be increased by an amount equal to the amounts specified in the Act,
multiplied by the percentage (if any) by which the average of the
monthly consumer price index (for all urban consumers published by the
Department of Labor) (``CPI'') for the most recently ended 12-month
period ending on June 30 exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period ending
June 30, 2008. The Act also states that any increase shall be rounded
to the nearest dollar and that there shall be no increase in the dollar
amounts if the change in the CPI is less than one percent. For fiscal
year 2009, the Act specified that the original annual fee for access to
the Registry for each area code of data was $54 per area code, or $27
per area code of data during the second six months of an entity's
annual subscription period, and that the maximum amount that would be
charged to any single entity for accessing area codes of data would be
$14,850.
The determination whether a fee change is required and the amount
of the fee change involves a two-step process. First, to determine
whether a fee change is required, we measure the change in the CPI from
the time of the previous increase in fees. There was an increase in the
fees for fiscal year 2013. Accordingly, we calculated the change in the
CPI since last year, and the increase was 1.66 percent. Because this
change is over the one percent threshold, the fees will change for
fiscal year 2014.
Second, to determine how much the fees should increase this fiscal
year, we use the calculation specified by the Act set forth above, the
percentage change in the baseline CPI applied to the original fees for
fiscal year 2009. The average value of the CPI for July 1, 2007 to June
30, 2008 was 211.702; the average value for July 1, 2012 to June 30,
2013 was 231.352, an increase of 9.28 percent. Applying the 9.28
percent increase to the base amount from fiscal year 2009, leads to an
increase from $58 to $59 in the fee from last year for access to a
single area code of data for a full year for fiscal year 2014. The
actual amount is $59.01, but when rounded, pursuant to the Act, the
amount is $59. The fee for accessing an additional area code for a half
year increases to $29.51 (rounded to $30). The maximum amount charged
increases to $16,228.08 (rounded to $16,228).
