What Is
What Is the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)?
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. 227, and the Federal Communications Commission's rules at 47 C.F.R. 64.1200 govern covered call and text consent, revocation, and do-not-call practices. The rules reach callers and texters subject to the Act. DA 26-12, issued January 6, 2026, extended the earlier revoke-all waiver to January 31, 2027.
FCC 26-67, adopted September 30, 2026 and released October 1, 2026, amends the revocation rules at 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(10). It permits revocation of an informational robocall or robotext to be limited to that category, while a telemarketing revocation reaches future telemarketing from the caller, and it permits a caller to designate an exclusive revocation method. The amendments were published in the Federal Register on October 26, 2026 (91 FR 67214) and are effective November 25, 2026, and once effective they supersede the January 31, 2027 delay of the earlier revoke-all provision.
