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. At the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 (October 1, 2011 –

September 30, 2012), there were more than 217 million active

registrations. 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 tollfree 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 violating the do-not-call rules.

The National Do Not Call Registry Data Book for Fiscal Year 2012 is based on

unverified complaints reported by consumers. This report is not based on a

consumer survey.

number.

“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 Registry for any other purpose.
