Zorluk: OrtaNational Do Not Call Registry and TCPA

Sarah, an insurance producer based in New York (Eastern Time), receives an online quote request for an auto policy from a prospect residing in Los Angeles (Pacific Time) on June 1. The prospect's phone number is actively listed on the National Do Not Call Registry. Assuming no other contact or transactions occur, which of the following accurately describes Sarah's legal parameters for calling this prospect under federal telemarketing regulations?

  1. She may call the prospect without express written consent for up to three months from the inquiry date, provided she places the calls between 11:00 AM and 12:00 AM (midnight) Eastern Time.Cevap
  2. B
    She may call the prospect without express written consent for up to 18 months from the inquiry date, provided she places the calls between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM Eastern Time.
  3. C
    She is strictly prohibited from calling the prospect without first obtaining express written consent, because the prospect's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry.
  4. D
    She may call the prospect indefinitely without express written consent, provided her agency scrubs its internal calling lists against the National Registry every 31 days.

Cevap

The producer is permitted to call the prospect for up to three months based on the inquiry, as long as the calls are made between 11:00 AM and midnight Eastern Time (which correlates to 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM Pacific Time).
The correct answer accurately synthesizes two critical TCPA rules. First, under the Established Business Relationship (EBR) rules, a consumer inquiry (such as an online quote request) allows a business to call the consumer for up to three months, even if their number is on the National Do Not Call Registry. Second, telemarketing calls are restricted to between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM based on the recipient's local time. Since the prospect is in the Pacific Time zone and the producer is in the Eastern Time zone (a 3-hour difference), the producer must wait until 11:00 AM ET to call, and must stop calling by 12:00 AM (midnight) ET.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the applicable Established Business Relationship (EBR) exception timeframe.
An online quote request constitutes an inquiry, which allows for telemarketing calls for up to 3 months from the date of the request.
Federal TCPA regulations distinguish between existing clients (18 months) and consumer inquiries (3 months).
2
Identify the federally permissible calling hours.
Telemarketing calls may only be placed between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM local time at the called party's location.
The rule is strictly based on the recipient's time zone, not the caller's time zone.
3
Convert the recipient's time zone window to the producer's time zone.
8:00 AM to 9:00 PM Pacific Time is equivalent to 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight) Eastern Time.
The producer is in New York (Eastern Time) and needs to know their local parameters to ensure compliance when calling Los Angeles (Pacific Time).
