The FTC released its Do Not Call Registry Data Book ("Data Book") on November 23, 2021, providing a look into statistical data about phone numbers on the Do Not Call Registry ("Registry"), telemarketers and sellers accessing phone numbers on the Registry, and consumer complaints.

As a bit of background, the Registry was created in 2003 with the goal of stopping unwanted sales calls. Consumers can register their home or cell phone number and have it added to the Registry the next day, and telemarketers and sellers must remove the number from their call lists within 31 days. This year's Data Book shows that consumers are increasingly eager to add their numbers to the Registry as robocalls and live telemarketers continue to inundate consumers with unwanted calls. Both the number of people registered and the number of complaints filed rose from 2020. The Registry now contains 244.3 million actively registered phone numbers, up from 241.5 million at the end of 2020.
