Telemarketing fees for the Do Not Call Registry will rise a year later than planned
What happened
The Federal Trade Commission corrected a date error in its rule updating fees for accessing the National Do Not Call Registry. This means the new fees will take effect on October 1, 2025, instead of October 1, 2024.
Why it matters
This document is a correction to a previous rule, not a new rule itself. It delays a fee increase for telemarketing companies by one year. This gives telemarketers more time before they have to pay higher costs to access the list of people they are not allowed to call.
The signal
Watch for any further corrections or delays to the fee implementation date, or if telemarketing companies adjust their budgets in anticipation of the 2025 increase.
