FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 
WASHINGTON 
OFFICE OF 
THE CHAIRMAN 
The Honorable Charles E. Schumer 
United States Senate 
322 Hart Senate Office Building 
Washington, D.C. 20510 
Dear Senator Schumer: 
July 18, 2017 
Thank you for your letter regarding a petition for declaratory ruling filed by All About 
the Message, LLC (AA TM). In its petition, AA TM requests that the Commission declare that 
the delivery of voice messages directly to a voicemail box does not constitute a call that is 
subject to the protections of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Your views about the 
petition are very important and will be included in the record of the proceeding. 
The Commission' s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau released a Public Notice 
seeking public commem on AATM's petition, and the comment periods on the matter closed on 
June 2. 2017. Subsequently, AATM filed a letter withdrawing its petition on June 20, 2017. 
1 appreciate your interest in this matter. Please let me know if I can be of any further 
assistance. 
Sincerely, 
v. 
Ajit V. Pai
