Reply Comments of the National Consumer Law Center

The National Consumer Law Center, on behalf of its low-income clients and Consumer Action, the Consumer Federation of America, Electronic Privacy Information Center, National Association of Consumer Advocates, National Consumers League, Public Knowledge, U.S. PIRG, and the Utility Reform Network, submitted reply comments to the Federal Communications Commission regarding the In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete request for comments. The remarks focus on consumer protections against robocalls. "In these Reply Comments, we urge the FCC not to weaken any of the protections in its regulations or declaratory rulings with respect to unwanted telephone calls or texts. Unwanted robocalls invade the privacy of Americans, diminish the usefulness of telephones, and threaten public safety by tying up telephone lines. We also address ancillary regulations which are targeted for deletion by the businesses that hope to evade current Commission requirements for prudent and fair business practices in the communications arena."
