How do the registries operated by the FTC, the, FCC, and the various states fit together?
On June 26, 2003, the FCC announced that it was joining the FTC in creating and enforcing one national registry. Together, the FTC and the FCC have jurisdiction over nearly all sales calls placed to U.S. consumers. Over half the States currently administer their own do not call lists. Most of these states will add the numbers on their registries to the National Do Not Call Registry. However, the TSR does NOT preempt state law, so sellers, telemarketers, and others who do telemarketing will have to check with various states to determine what is required for compliance at the state level. For information about the FCC’s telemarketing regulations, visit the FCC’s Web site at www.fcc.gov. A full copy of the FCC’s regulations can be found at: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-03-153A1.pdf. The FTC and FCC are working to harmonize state and federal do not call laws. The goal is to achieve a single national registry for the convenience and efficiency of consumers as well a
