 FCC’s  AMENDED  SAFE  HARBOR  FOR  THE  NATIONAL  DO-  NOT-  CALL  REGISTRY  APPROVED  BY  OMB 


 CG  Docket  No.  02-  278 
 The  Office  of  Management  and  Budget  (OMB)  has  approved  for  three  years  the  information  collections  associated  with  the  amended  safe  harbor  for  the  national  do-  not-  call  registry  as 
 adopted  in  the  Commission’s  Order,  Rules  and  Regulations  Implementing  the  Telephone  Consumer  Protection  Act  of  1991,  CG  Docket  No.  02-  278,  FCC  04-  204  (rel.  September  21, 
 2004).  The  Order  amended  the  existing  safe  harbor  rules  for  telemarketers  subject  to  the  national  do-  not-  call  registry  to  require  them  to  access  the  do-  not-  call  list  no  more  than  31  days  prior  to 
 making  any  telemarketing  call.  Consistent  with  the  recent  decision  of  the  Federal  Trade  Commission  (FTC),  the  FCC’s  rule  change  reduces  from  three  months  to  31  days  the  maximum 
 period  in  which  telemarketers  must  update  their  call  lists  using  the  national  do-  not-  call  list  in  order  to  qualify  for  the  safe  harbor  protections.  A  summary  of  the  Order  was  published  in  the 
 Federal  Register  at  69  FR  60311  (October  8,  2004).  The  information  collections  contained  in  section  64.1200(  c)(  2)(  i)(  D)  were  approved  by  OMB  on  December  21,  2004.  OMB  Control  No.
