FCC Revises TCPA Rules For Informational Calls, Seeks Comment On Further Changes
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted significant revisions to its Telephone Consumer Protection Act rules governing opt-out requests for informational calls, allowing consumers to opt out of specific categories while giving callers the option to designate exclusive opt-out methods. These changes, effective November 25, 2026, also include modifications to fraud alert restrictions for financial institutions and propose further amendments to streamline consent revocation processes.

Key changes to the FCC’s complex Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) rules are on the horizon:
- First, the FCC has adopted significant revisions to its TCPA rules governing opt-out requests for TCPA-covered informational calls. The changes will allow consumers to opt out of specific categories of informational calls covered by the TCPA and will give callers the option to designate an exclusive means by which consumers may revoke their TCPA consent. These new rules are set to take effect on November 25, 2026.
- Second, the FCC is also amending its rules governing certain informational calls from financial institutions to better facilitate fraud alerts. Like the opt-out rule changes, this change will also go into effect on November 25, 2026.
