Citation
Do-Not-Call Implementation Act of 2003, Pub. L. No. 108-10, 117 Stat. 557 (2003), codified at 15 U.S.C. §6101 (full-text).

Overview
Congress passed the Act to protect consumers from unwanted phone calls from telemarketers. The Act led to the creation of the Do Not Call Registry.

The Act provides that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) may establish fees sufficient to implement and enforce the provisions relating to the Do Not Call Registry of the Telemarketing Sales Rule, promulgated under the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act.

The Act further directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue a final rule pursuant to a rulemaking proceeding begun under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991; and to coordinate with the FTC to maximize consistency with the FTC's Do Not Call Registry.
