Letter to The Honorable William P. Barr Letter to The Honorable Ajit Pai Page2 the TRACED Act directed the Chief of the Enforcement Bureau of the Commission to provide any evidence it obtains suggesting a willful, knowing, and repeated robocall violation with an intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value, to the Attorney General.4 While this provision, combined with the increase in civil penalties of up to $10,000 per call on people who intentionally cause a robocall violation, is a strong deterrent, ultimately, DOJ must carry out the collection of those penalties. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, we urge you to go after these illegal robocallers aggressively and use all the tools Congress has given you to deter and enforce violations of the law effectively. Please let us know what steps the FCC and DOJ will be taking to address the increase in robocalls related to the COVID-19 Pandemic no later than April 14, 2020. If you have any questions, please contact Phil Murphy 0f Chairman Doyle's staff at (202) 225-2135 or Evan Viau of the Minority Staff at (202) 225-3641. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
