What the agency says
In this document, the Commission seeks comment on measures to ensure that the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) rules that govern robocalls continue to evolve with changes in technology and industry practices. Specifically, we seek comment on reducing the timeframe callers must honor revocation requests, requirements for two- way texting functionality, requiring a revoke all method, and the treatment of affiliates.
