McLEAN, Va. -

The National Automobile Dealers Association included a reminder in its NADA Headlines e-newsletter on Tuesday to prompt dealers to take note of the impending increase in the registration fee for the National Do Not Call Registry. The Federal Trade Commission announced that the annual registration fee, which is currently $59 per area code of data, will increase to $60 per area code effective Oct. 1.

The maximum that any single entity will be charged has been increased from $16,228 to $16,482. Dealers accessing five or fewer area code listings can do so for free but will still need to register with the FTC. Dealerships that register more than five area codes will pay the revised fee when renewing their current subscriptions.
