The Telemarketing Sales Rule ("TSR") requires certain disclosures in telemarketing calls for the sale of goods 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 September 30, 2022.

The burden estimate of 1,228,050 hours is slightly reduced from the FTC’s prior cleared burden estimate in 2019 of 1,233,817 hours. Estimated annual labor cost increased slightly from $17,181,914 (2019) to $18,367,441 (2022). Estimated annual non-labor cost is reduced from $4,717,991 (2019) to $4,596,656 (2022). The reductions are largely attributable to staff’s reduced estimates for the number of telemarketing entities subject to the TSR, based on updated National Registry data. The increase of annual labor costs is associated with higher average wage rates offsetting the decrease in annual burden hours.
