National Do Not Call Registry to Be Available to Telemarketers Beginning September 2, 2003: "National Do Not Call Registry to Be Available to Telemarketers Beginning September 2, 2003


The Federal Trade Commission today announced that telemarketing organizations will have access to the National Do Not Call Registry on September 2, 2003, one day later than the opening date originally announced. The URL to access telephone numbers in the registry, www.telemarketing.donotcall.gov, will NOT be available until September 2, 2003. From that date forward, organizations that complete application information, pay any applicable fees, and certify under penalty of law that they are accessing the registry solely to prevent telephone calls to telephone numbers on the registry, will be granted access to the consumer telephone numbers included in the registry.

Specific information about accessing telephone numbers and downloading files from the national registry is available at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/08/tmkraccessinfo.htm.. Additional information will be provided on the telemarketer Web site, www.telemarketing.donotcall.gov ."
