According to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, how old must the National Do-Not-Call list be when screening potential recipients of cold calls?

  1. 21 days

  2. 31 days

  3. 41 days

  4. 51 days

The correct answer is: 31 days

The correct answer is based on the provisions of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which established specific guidelines for telemarketing practices to protect consumers from unwanted calls. According to the TCPA, telemarketers are required to consult the National Do-Not-Call Registry before making cold calls and must ensure that the list they are using is not older than 31 days. This means that if a telemarketer finds a number in the registry that is listed as a do-not-call, they must not contact that number if it has been on the do-not-call list for 31 days or more. This requirement aims to ensure that the registry is updated frequently enough to minimize the number of unwanted marketing calls consumers receive. The 31-day timeframe fosters compliance and enforcement of consumer privacy rights, which the TCPA seeks to uphold.
