(1888PressRelease) December 23, 2016 - The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: FCC's New TCPA Exemption Rules for U.S. Government Debts and Other Recent TCPA Developments: What You Need to Know LIVE Webcast.

Event Synopsis:
2016 was another year with significant developments for the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Recent regulatory updates and declaratory rulings were made that will have a significant impact to the Federal Government and contractors working on its behalf.

One of the most significant updates last year was the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) implementation of an amendment to the TCPA that exempted robocalls "made solely to collect a debt owed to or guaranteed by the United States." The new rules highlight three main amendments such as who can make covered calls, the number, duration and timing of calls, and to whom calls may be addressed.

The new rules and other developments last year are expected to take effect and be completely felt in 2017. As a result, companies contacting consumers regarding government-back debts or otherwise engaging consumers on behalf of the federal government have more options at their disposal, provided that they stay within the boundaries established by the FCC.

The Knowledge Group is producing a LIVE Webcast: FCC's New TCPA Exemption Rules for U.S. Government Debts and Other Recent TCPA Developments: What You Need to Know to help companies better understand their compliance obligations under this important law. This interactive course will provide crucial information regarding the latest and most significant developments surrounding these rule changes. Speakers will also offer significant insights and 2017 outlook on possible issues that might arise in the light of these developments
