FCC Moves To Scale Back ‘Revoke All’ Robocall Rule
By CU Today Staff —
WASHINGTON--The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Wednesday issued a draft order and further notice of proposed rulemaking (FNPRM) on the "revoke all" portion of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), America's Credit Unions reported.
This language allows consumers to universally revoke consent to all types of future robocalls or robotexts, even if they opted out of only one type.
“The FCC’s draft order is a major win for credit unions and their 146 million members. We have worked closely with the Commission across multiple administrations to secure practical standards that ensure credit unions can reach members when security matters most. We appreciate the Commission listening to our advocacy, and we will stay actively engaged to get these common-sense rules across the finish line,” stated America’s Credit Unions President/CEO Scott Simpson.
America’s Credit Unions expressed numerous concerns with the previous “revoke all” rule, and noted it successfully advocated for a delay in implementation (from the original issued April 11, 2026).
"This allowed additional advocacy efforts with the FCC to construct this current rulemaking, which addresses many of those concerns," ACU explained.
The finalized order, would revise TCPA rules to ensure that consumers have easily accessible ways to revoke consent while streamlining callers' ability to process revocation requests.
It includes the following relief requested by America’s Credit Unions, the Defense Credit Union Council, and other organizations in a January letter:
The FCC will vote on the draft order at its Sept. 30 meeting. If approved, the Federal Register will publish the order and it takes effect 30 days later. The new date then supersedes the current Jan. 31, 2027 compliance date, ACU noted.
The order is also paired with a FNPRM which seeks comment on updating various TCPA-related rules, including revisiting the timeframe for callers to honor revocation requests, requiring two-way texting functionality to allow for revocation via text reply, requiring callers to provide a method to revoke consent to all robocalls, and the treatment of affiliates.
The notice was published on the FCC’s website, but not in the Federal Register yet, ACU said.
