 STATEMENT  OF  ENFORCEMENT  BUREAU  CHIEF  DAVID  H.  SOLOMON  ON  FIRST  FCC  ENFORCEMENT  ACTION  UNDER 
 THE  NATIONAL  DO  NOT  CALL  REGISTRY 
 Washington,  D.  C.  –  Today,  Federal  Communications  Commission  Enforcement  Bureau  Chief  David  H.  Solomon  issued  the  following  statement  regarding  a  citation  the  Bureau  issued  to  CPM 
 Funding,  Inc.  d/  b/  a  California  Pacific  Mortgage  for  failure  to  honor  the  FCC’s  National  Do  Not  Call  rules.  See  Citation  to  CPM  Funding,  Inc.,  DA  03-  4026  (Dec.  18,  2003). 


 “This  is  a  landmark  enforcement  step  –  the  first  FCC  action  to  enforce  our  new  National  Do  Not  Call  rules.  This  citation  demonstrates  our  resolve  to  ensure  that  consumers  are  not  bothered  by 
 unwanted,  intrusive  calls  to  their  homes.  Do  Not  Call  enforcement  is  the  FCC’s  top  consumer  protection  priority  and  we,  along  with  our  partners  at  the  FTC,  will  continue  to  be  vigilant  in  this 
 area  on  behalf  of  the  American  public.” 
 California  Pacific  Mortgage  may  be  subject  to  a  monetary  forfeiture  if  it  continues  to  violate  the  Do  Not  Call  rules.  The  Communications  Act,  however,  requires  that  the  FCC  issue  a  citation  as 
 a  first  step  when  dealing  with  a  company  that  does  not  hold  an  FCC  license  or  other  authorization.
