Federal Communications Commission	"FCC  XX-XXX"


STATEMENT OF
ACTING CHAIRWOMAN JESSICA ROSENWORCEL

Re: 	In the Matter of John M. Burkman, Jacob Alexander Wohl, and J.M. Burkman & Associates LLC, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, File No. EB-TCD-21-00032652.

Across the board, the FCC is stepping up its efforts to combat illegal robocalls.  Today, we propose a fine of more than $5 million for robocalls made by a group of individuals that clearly violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.  I appreciate the unanimous support of my colleagues in this effort.  I also appreciate the work of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office for their work with us to gather evidence and build a case.  This kind of collaboration is vitally important in our work to combat illegal robocalls and I look forward to future collaboration like this with other law enforcement partners nationwide.
