seeks 30-day extension on FCC’s TCPA petition

NAFCU, with 10 other trade groups, has asked for a comment-period extension to April 10 on a rulemaking petition that would reverse the Federal Communications Commission’s interpretation that those who knowingly release their phone numbers have given consent to be called under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. “We believe that such a dramatic change would prevent consumers from receiving important communications from our members on their mobile phones, communications that provide critical information that consumers want and need to receive,” stated the letter sent to the FCC last week.
