Title: Telemarketing Sales Rule | |
Abstract:
On August 11, 2014, the Commission initiated periodic review of the Telemarketing Sales Rule and solicited public comments. 79 FR 46732 (Aug. 11, 2014). The comment period as extended closed on November 13, 2014. 79 FR 61267 (Oct. 10, 2014). On June 3, 2022, the Commission issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking public comment on whether the Rule should continue to exempt telemarketing calls to businesses, whether the Rule should require a notice and cancellation mechanism with negative option sales, and whether to extend the Rule to apply to telemarketing calls that consumers initiate to a telemarketer (i.e. inbound telemarketing calls) regarding computer technical support services. 87 FR 33662 (June 3, 2022). The comment period closed on August 2, 2022. On April 16, 2024, the Commission issued a proposal to amend the TSR to extend its coverage to inbound telemarketing calls that consumers place to telemarketers selling technical support services i.e., calls that consumers make in response to an advertisement through any medium or to a direct mail solicitation. 89 FR 26798 (April 16, 2024) The comment period closed on June 17, 2024. Staff are reviewing the comments. |
