How many days must a telemarketer or seller search the National Do Not Call Registry?

In order to comply with the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR), telemarketers or sellers are required to search the National Do Not Call Registry to ensure they do not contact individuals who have opted out of receiving telemarketing calls. This search must be conducted at least 31 days prior to making calls. This time frame is established to give telemarketers sufficient opportunity to review and comply with the requests from consumers who wish to limit unsolicited calls. Adhering to this requirement is crucial for maintaining compliance and avoiding potential penalties for infringing on consumers' privacy rights.
