FCC Issues Call Volume and Opt-Out Rules for Calls Exempted From TCPA’s Consent Requirements

Written by Artin Betpera

Over the years, the FCC has established a number of exemptions to the TCPA’s prohibition on unconsented autodialed and pre-recorded or artificial voice calls. Last year, Congress directed the FCC under the TRACED Act to revisit those exemptions to ensure each exemption delineates: (1) the classes of parties that may make such calls; (2) the classes of parties that may be called; and (3) the number of calls that may be made to a particular called party. On December 30, 2020, the FCC issued a Report and Order addressing its obligations under TRACED.
