§ 64.1202 Public safety answering point do-not-call registry.
(a) As used in this section, the following terms are defined as:
(1) Operators of automatic dialing or robocall equipment. Any person or
entity who uses an automatic telephone dialing system, as defined in section
227(a)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to make telephone
calls with such equipment.
(2) Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). A facility that has been
designated to receive emergency calls and route them to emergency service
personnel pursuant to section 222(h)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended. As used in this section, this term includes both primary and
secondary PSAPs.
(3) Emergency purpose. A call made necessary in any situation affecting the
health and safety of any person.
(b) PSAP numbers and registration. Each PSAP may designate a representative
who shall be required to file a certification with the administrator of the
PSAP registry, under penalty of law, that they are authorized and eligible
to place numbers onto the PSAP Do-Not-Call registry on behalf of that PSAP.
The designated PSAP representative shall provide contact information,
including the PSAP represented, contact name, title, address, telephone
number, and email address. Verified PSAPs shall be permitted to upload to
the registry any PSAP telephone numbers associated with the provision of
emergency services or communications with other public safety agencies. On
an annual basis designated PSAP representatives shall access the registry,
review their numbers placed on the registry to ensure that they remain
eligible for inclusion on the registry, and remove ineligible numbers.
(c) Prohibiting the use of autodialers to contact registered PSAP numbers.
An operator of automatic dialing or robocall equipment is prohibited from
using such equipment to contact any telephone number registered on the PSAP
Do-Not-Call registry other than for an emergency purpose. This prohibition
encompasses both voice and text calls.
(d) Granting and tracking access to the PSAP registry. An operator of
automatic dialing or robocall equipment may not obtain access or use the
PSAP Do-Not-Call registry until it provides to the designated registry
administrator contact information that includes the operator's name and all
alternative names under which the registrant operates, a business address, a
contact person, the contact person's telephone number, the operator's email
address, and all outbound telephone numbers used to place autodialed calls,
including both actual originating numbers and numbers that are displayed on
caller identification services, and thereafter obtains a unique
identification number or password from the designated registry
administrator. All such contact information provided to the designated
registry administrator must be updated within 30 days of any change to such
information. In addition, an operator of automatic dialing equipment must
certify when it accesses the registry, under penalty of law, that it is
accessing the registry solely to prevent autodialed calls to numbers on the
registry.
(e) Accessing the registry. An operator of automatic dialing equipment or
robocall equipment shall, to prevent such calls to any telephone number on
the registry, access and employ a version of the PSAP Do-Not-Call registry
obtained from the registry administrator no more than 31 days prior to the
date any call is made, and shall maintain records documenting this process.
It shall not be a violation of paragraph (c) of this section to contact a
number added to the registry subsequent to the last required access to the
registry by operators of automatic dialing or robocall equipment.
(f) Restrictions on disclosing or dissemination of the PSAP registry. No
person or entity, including an operator of automatic dialing equipment or
robocall equipment, may sell, rent, lease, purchase, share, or use the PSAP
Do-Not-Call registry, or any part thereof, for any purpose except to comply
with this section and any such state or Federal law enacted to prevent
autodialed calls to telephone numbers in the PSAP registry.
