Dear Congressman Hunter:
Thank you for your letter regarding the Petition for Declaratory Ruling filed with the
Federal Communications Commission (Commission) by Communication Innovators on
June 7, 2012. The Petition seeks clarification that predictive dialers that are not used for
marketing purposes and that do not have the current ability to generate and dial random
or sequential numbers do not fall within the definition of"automatic telephone dialing
system" as used in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which is codified as
47 U.S.C. § 227. In your letter, you encourage the Commission to consider the Petition
and issue a ruling on the merits.
A draft order to resolve the Petition is under consideration by the Commission, and
Communication Innovators has met with the staffrecentIy to discuss the matter. We take
seriously the issues raised in the Petition and the potential impact on consumers, and
expect the Commission to resolve it soon.
I appreciate your interest in this important matter. Should you have additional questions
or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
