The Telemarketing Sales Rule requires
certain disclosures in telemarketing calls for the sale of good or
services or the solicitation of charitable contributions by sellers
and/or telemarketers. The disclosures provide consumers or
prospective donors with information necessary to make informed
decisions. The current OMB approval for the information collection
requirements in the TSR expires on August 31, 2013.
US Code:
15 USC 6101-6108 Name of Law: Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud
and Abuse Prevention Act
The instant reductions in
estimated burden hours and costs are largely attributable to
staff's reduced estimates for the number of telemarketing entities
subject to the TSR, based on updated National Registry data.
