Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991
On July 26, 1995, the Commission adopted a Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) finalizing its rules implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA). In the MO&O, the Commission resolves a number of issues raised regarding the Report and Order. The Commission's actions clarify certain critical aspects of the regulations implementing TCPA and ensures that the costs of privacy protection are not borne by the residential subscriber. The MO&O balances the need to protect consumers' privacy with the imperative that telemarketing practices not be unreasonably hindered.
