47 CFR Parts 64 and 68 of the
Commission's rules contain procedures for avoiding unwanted
telephone solicitations to residences, and to regulate the use of
automatic telephone dialing systems, artificial or prerecorded
voice messages, and telephone facsimile machines. The Commission
believes that the recordkeeping requirement is the best means of
preventing unwanted telephone solicitations. On January 22, 2010,
the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (2010 NPRM)
in CG Docket No. 02-278, FCC 10-18, proposing amendments to the
Commissions rules under the TCPA that would harmonize the
Commissions rules with those of the Federal Trade Commission. In
particular, the 2010 NPRM proposes to amend section 64.1200(a)(1)
and section 64.1200(a)(2) of the Commissions TCPA rules by
requiring sellers and telemarketers, when obtaining telephone
subscribers prior express consent to receive prerecorded
telemarketing calls, to obtain such prior express consent in
writing (including electronic methods of consent).
US Code:

USC 227 Name of Law: Communications Act of 1934, as amended
With the release of the 2010
NPRM, the Commission proposed to increase the total annual hourly
burden and the total annual number of responses as described
herein: (1) The Commissions estimate for the total annual burden
hours has increased from 625,406 hours to 650,906 hours. Therefore,
there is a program change of +25,500 hours to the annual burden
hours. (2) The Commissions estimate for the total annual number of
responses has increased from 135,607,383 to 135,632,883 responses.
Therefore, there is a program change of +25,500 to the annual
number of responses.
