INTRODUCTION
The National Do Not Call Registry (Registry) provides consumers with an easy and efficient way to
register their preference not to receive most telemarketing sales calls.
The Registry has continued to grow since its inception in the summer of 2003. As of September 30,
2016, there were 226 million active registrations.1 Consumers can register their phone number(s) on
the Registry by either calling a toll-free number (888-382-1222) from the telephone number(s) they
wish to register or using the do-not-call website (https://www.donotcall.gov). The do-not-call rules
require telemarketers and sellers to remove the numbers on the Registry from their call lists at least
every 31 days. Telemarketers can access the Registry through a website
(https://telemarketing.donotcall.gov) dedicated to that purpose.
Consumers notify law enforcement of violations of the do-not-call rules by submitting complaints to
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) via either the toll-free number or the website. Law
enforcement officials can then review these complaints, as well as consumer registration information
and telemarketer access information, through the Consumer Sentinel Network (CSN), a secure
Internet website maintained by the FTC. For more information about CSN, please visit
www.FTC.gov/sentinel. Law enforcement personnel may join CSN at
https://register.consumersentinel.gov.
The National Do Not Call Registry Data Book contains statistical data regarding the registrations on
the Registry, the subscriptions of entities (e.g., telemarketers and sellers) accessing phone numbers
on the Registry, and the complaints consumers submit to the FTC about companies allegedly
violating the do-not-call rules.
The National Do Not Call Registry Data Book for Fiscal Year 2016 is based on unverified complaints
reported by consumers. This report is not based on a consumer survey.
1 For the purposes of this report, “active registrations” are those registrations consumers have placed on the Registry and have not been
subsequently deleted by the consumer or removed by the FTC because the number was disconnected and reassigned. If a telemarketer
downloaded the Registry on the reported day, this is the number of registrations that would have appeared.

1 Complaint types refer to National Do Not Call Registry complaints in which the consumer responded affirmatively to either or both of two

questions: “Have you asked this company to stop calling you?” or “Was the call a recorded message?” Consumers may also file a complaint
without responding affirmatively to these questions. On September 1, 2009, the National Registry began accepting all complaints regarding calls
using a recorded message, regardless of the registration status of the called number.

on the National Do Not Call Registry as of September 30, 2016.

2 Population estimates are based on the 2015 U.S. Census population estimates (Table NST-EST2015-01 – Annual Estimates of the Population

for the United States, Regions, States, and Puerto Rico: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2015).

3 Numbers for the District of Columbia are as follows: Active Registrations = 605,725; and Active Registrations per 100,000 Population = 90,107.

1 “Entities Who Paid” are telemarketers, sellers and other entities who paid fees to access the Registry. “5 or Fewer Area Codes” includes those

entities who accessed five or fewer area codes; the first five area codes are provided to entities at no cost. “Exempt Entities” include
organizations that engage in outbound telephone calls to consumers that do not involve the sale of goods or services, such as calls to induce
charitable contributions, to raise funds for political purposes, or to conduct surveys. “Exempt Entities” also include those who are engaged solely
in calls to persons with whom they have an established business relationship or from whom they have obtained express written agreement to call
and who do not access the National Registry for any other purpose.
