Telemarketing Sales Rule Fees
Federal Trade Commission.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Federal Trade
Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) 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-Not-Call Registry Fee
Extension Act of 2007.
DATES: This final rule (the revised fees)
is effective October 1, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Copies of this document are
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
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
$63 to $65 per area code; and increases
the maximum amount that will be
charged to any single entity for
accessing area codes of data from
$17,406 to $17,765. Entities may add
area codes during the second six months
of their annual subscription period, and
the fee for those additional area codes
of data remains $32.
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 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 since the last fee
increase 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 2019.
Accordingly, we calculated the change
in the CPI since last year, and the
increase was 2.07 percent. Because this
change is over the one percent
threshold, the fees will change for fiscal
year 2020.
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, 2018 to June 30,
2019 was 253.268, an increase of 19.63
percent. Applying the 19.63 percent
increase to the base amount from fiscal
year 2009, leads to a $65 fee for access
E:\FR\FM\27AUR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 27, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
to a single area code of data for a full
year for fiscal year 2020, an increase of
$2 from last year. The actual amount is
$64.60, but when rounded, pursuant to
the Act, $65 is the appropriate fee. The
fee for accessing an additional area code
for a half year remains $32 (rounded
from $32.30). The maximum amount
charged increases to $17,765 (rounded
from $17,765.06).
Administrative Procedure Act;
Regulatory Flexibility Act; Paperwork
Reduction Act. The revisions to the Fee
Rule are technical in nature and merely
incorporate statutory changes to the
TSR. These statutory changes have been
adopted without change or
interpretation, making public comment
unnecessary. Therefore, the Commission
has determined that the notice and
comment requirements of the
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 U.S.C. 3501–3521, the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’)
approved the information collection
requirements in the Amended TSR and
assigned the following existing OMB
Control Number: 3084–0169. The
amendments outlined in this Final Rule
pertain only to the fee provision
(§ 310.8) of the Amended TSR and will
not establish or alter any record
keeping, reporting, or third-party
disclosure requirements elsewhere in
the Amended TSR.

consumers and who is accessing area
codes of data in the National Do Not
Call Registry if the person is permitted
to access, but is not required to access,
the National Do Not Call Registry under
this Rule, 47 CFR 64.1200, or any other
Federal regulation or law. No person
may participate in any arrangement to
share the cost of accessing the National
Do Not Call Registry, including any
arrangement with any telemarketer or
service provider to divide the costs to
access the registry among various clients
of that telemarketer or service provider.
(d) Each person who pays, either
directly or through another person, the
annual fee set forth in paragraph (c) of
this section, each person excepted
under paragraph (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
paragraph (c) of this section must first
pay $65 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 paragraph (c) of this
section must first pay $32 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.

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission'') 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-Not-Call Registry Fee Extension Act of 2007.
DATES: This final rule (the revised fees) is effective October 1, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Copies of this document are available on the internet at the
Commission's website: https://www.ftc.gov.

of Consumer Protection, Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania
Avenue NW, Room CC-9225, Washington, DC 20580.
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 $63 to $65 per area code; and increases the maximum amount
that will be charged to any single entity for accessing area codes of
data from $17,406 to $17,765. Entities may add area codes during the
second six months of their annual subscription period, and the fee for
those additional area codes of data remains $32.
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 since the last fee increase 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 2019. Accordingly, we calculated the change in the
CPI since last year, and the increase was 2.07 percent. Because this
change is over the one percent threshold, the fees will change for
fiscal year 2020.
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, 2018 to June 30,
2019 was 253.268, an increase of 19.63 percent. Applying the 19.63
percent increase to the base amount from fiscal year 2009, leads to a
$65 fee for access
[[Page 44687]]
to a single area code of data for a full year for fiscal year 2020, an
increase of $2 from last year. The actual amount is $64.60, but when
rounded, pursuant to the Act, $65 is the appropriate fee. The fee for
accessing an additional area code for a half year remains $32 (rounded
from $32.30). The maximum amount charged increases to $17,765 (rounded
from $17,765.06).

changes have been adopted without change or interpretation, making
public comment unnecessary. Therefore, the Commission has determined
that the notice and comment requirements of the 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 U.S.C. 3501-3521, the
Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') approved the information
collection requirements in the Amended TSR and assigned the following
existing OMB Control Number: 3084-0169. The amendments outlined in this
