## Abstract

In this document, the Commission announces that it will terminate and close CC Docket No. 92-90. On September 12, 2002, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on its rules implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA). The NPRM seeks comment on whether the Commission's rules governing unsolicited advertising using the telephone and facsimile machine need to be revised in order to more effectively carry out Congress's directives in the TCPA. The Commission will close and terminate CC Docket No. 92-90 and open a new docket to address the issues raised in this proceeding.
