Which agency is responsible for administering the Do Not Call Registry?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the agency responsible for administering the Do Not Call Registry. This registry was created to help consumers avoid unwanted telemarketing calls and to protect their privacy. The FTC implements regulations pertaining to telemarketing practices and enforces compliance with the Do Not Call rules. The registry allows individuals to add their phone numbers to a list that telemarketers are required to check to avoid calling those who have opted out of such communications.

The other agencies listed do not have the authority over the Do Not Call Registry. The FBI primarily focuses on national security and law enforcement matters, while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) deals with consumer financial protections, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) is involved in legal issues and enforcing federal laws. Each of these agencies has distinct responsibilities that do not include the management of the Do Not Call Registry.
