The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s notice of proposed rule making on “revocation of consent” was introduced in June 2023 and was passed on February 15, 2024.

Overview of the rule

This rule marks a pivotal shift in communication standards for revoking consent, emphasizing the importance of respecting consumer’s choices faster. Effective April 11, 2025, it enables consumers to revoke prior consent, through any reasonable means, within 10 days (or faster). Organizations must now ensure their systems support new consent revocation nuances.

What this means for your business

1. Impact on outreach: Businesses face reduced outreach capabilities, heightened risk of penalties, increased audits, and time-bound limitations on phone/text communications
2. Rules specific to wireless carriers: Subscribers may be able to revoke consent from their provider
3. Burden of proof: It is not enough to say you are compliant; telemarketers/solicitors and debt collectors have a legal obligation to prove it to protect their brand reputation and shareholders

There are a few things your organization can do to stay in compliance:

• Preparation is key: Utilize a compliance solution to perform a compliance health check to determine where gaps exist, and to expand missed opportunities in overall reach through exemptions like EBRs, prior express written consent, and others

• Leverage relationships: Strengthen existing customer relationships to potentially reduce further revocation of consent by initiating engagement campaigns, developing contact strategy, and being mindful of contact fatigue

• Efficient management: Manage and track customer contact preferences using an exemption/consent management engine

• Real-time guidance: Enhance conversations with real-time guidance during calls to make the most of every interaction 

• Real-time opt-outs: Enable real-time application of opt-outs via Web Service API layer and other methods
