4 CCR 723-2-2892 - Administrative Procedures

(a) Telephone solicitor registration fee. Persons or entities that wish to make telephone solicitations or otherwise access the database of telephone numbers and zip codes included in the Colorado No-call List database shall pay to the designated agent the annual registration fee set by the Commission. Persons or entities with fewer than five employees shall pay no fee. Conforming list brokers or nonprofit corporations, as defined in § 7-121-401(26), C.R.S., shall pay no fee. The maximum fee set by the Commission shall be charged only to persons or entities with more than 1,000 employees.

(b) Determination of annual registration fee. The Commission will set the annual registration fee on a sliding scale. The sliding scale ranges from zero for persons or entities with fewer than five employees to the maximum fee of no more than $500 for persons or entities with more than 1,000 employees. The sliding scale between five and 1,000 employees is directly related to the number of employees a particular entity has within that range. The designated agent shall use monies from such fees to cover the direct and indirect costs for the operation of the Colorado No-call List. Monies from such fees shall be collected and paid directly to the designated agent. The Commission may adjust the fees annually based on the revenue history of the fees received by the designated agent. The annually adjusted fees will become effective on January 1 of each year.

(c) Audit and inspection of records. The designated agent shall permit the Commission to audit, inspect, examine, excerpt, copy or transcribe any of its records relating to the No-call List program. The designated agent shall make all requested information available to Commission Staff for audit on request including, but not limited to: salaries and benefits associated with both operators and managerial employees, local exchange access charges, operating expenses, building rent and utilities costs, equipment depreciation, corporate overhead allocations, advertising and marketing expenses, expenses for consultants and temporary employees, and expenses for account management.
