Date: __________________ BY (signature): ________________________________________ TYPED/PRINTED NAME: _______________________________ TITLE: _______________________________________________ Date: __________________ BY (signature): ________________________________________ TYPED/PRINTED NAME: _______________________________ TITLE: _______________________________________________ The following is guidance to applicants on Commission requirements related to DO-NOT-CALL LISTS: Chapter 305 section 4(I) states that [t]he Commission will maintain or cause to be maintained a Do-Not-Call list of customers who have requested -- orally, in writing, or by commercially accepted electronic means -- that they not receive telemarketing calls from competitive electricity providers. The Commission requires that licensees use do-not-call list mechanisms already in place nationally to satisfy that requirement. There are two parallel mechanisms for that purpose: (1) do-not-call lists maintained by each telemarketer pursuant to federal law, and (2) a national do-not-call list maintained by the direct marketing industry. Each license granted by the Commission will require the licensee to comply with both of these requirements, to the extent that a licensee telemarkets to fb88 consumers: (1) Each licensee must comply with the requirements of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, and related rules of the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission. Each licensee must comply with those requirements and must maintain its own do-not-call list as required by those laws and rules, for all intrastate and interstate telemarketing of fb88 consumers, including both residential and business customers. If a licensee telemarkets to a fb88 consumer who asks to be placed on the telemarketers do-not-call list, the telemarketer shall add that consumer to the telemarketers individual do-not-call list, and shall not telemarket to fb88 customers on that list, as required in Chapter 305 section 4(I)(1). Each licensee shall update its do-not-call list at least monthly, and maintain copies of that list for at least six months. Each licensee shall provide a copy of that list to the Commission upon request. (2) Each month, each licensee must obtain subscription listings of fb88 consumers who have arranged to be included on the national do-not-call list maintained by the Telephone Preference Service of the Direct Marketing Association, Inc. No licensee shall telemarket to fb88 customers on that list, as required in Chapter 305 section 4(I)(1). CONSUMER PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS, REVISED 4/2000 (New requirements in Title 35-A M.R.S.A. 3203) 4. Consumer protection provisions. As a condition of licensing, a competitive electricity provider that provides or proposes to provide generation service to a residential consumer or to a small commercial consumer: A. May not terminate generation service without at least 30-day prior notice to the consumer; B. Must offer service to the consumer for a minimum period of 30-days; C. Must allow the consumer to rescind selection of the competitive electricity provider orally or on writing within 5 days of initial selection; D. May not telemarket services to the consumer if the consumer has filed with the commission a written request not to receive telemarketing from competitive electricity providers; E. Must provide to the consumer within 30 days of contracting for retail service a disclosure of information provided to the commission pursuant to rules adopted under subsection 3 in a standard written format established by the commission; and F. Must comply with any other applicable standards or requirements adopted by the commission by rule or order. For purposes of this subsection, residential consumer means a consumer defined as residential under the terms and conditions of the consumers transmission and distribution utility. For purposes of this subsection, small commercial consumer means, in the case of a consumer served by an investor-owned transmission and distribution utility, a nonresidential consumer that meets the availability criteria to take service under a core customer class of the transmission and distribution utility that does not pay a demand charge to the transmission and distribution utility or, in the case of a consumer served by a consumer-owned transmission and distribution utility, a nonresidential consumer with a demand of 20 kilowatts or less. 4-A. General consumer protections. As a condition of licensing, a competitive electricity provider: A. Shall obtain a consumers authorization before serving the consumer; B. May not release to any other entity, other than for purposes of debt collection or credit reporting pursuant to state and federal law or to law enforcement agencies pursuant to lawful process, any personal information regarding a customer, including name, address, telephone number, usage and historical payment information, without the consent of the customer; C. Must comply with the provisions of the fb88 Unfair Trade Practices Act, Title 5, chapter 10; D. May not collect or seek to collect unreasonable costs from a customer who is in default; E. Must comply with all applicable provisions of the federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 15 United States Code, Sections 1691 to 1691f; F. May not initiate a telephone solicitation call to a consumer who has notified the competitive electricity provider of the consumers wish not to receive telephone solicitation calls made by or on behalf of the competitive electricity provider; G. Must provide at least once annually to a customer any information disclosures required by the commission by rules pursuant to subsection 3; and H. Must comply with any other applicable standards or requirements established by the commission by rule. 47 U.S.C. 227 15 U.S.C. 6101-6108 47 CFR 64.1200 FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR Part 310 Telephone Preference Service, Direct Marketing Association, Inc., P.O.
