Authorizes the FTC to check telephone numbers listed on the do-not-call registry against national databases periodically and purge numbers that have been disconnected and reassigned.

Requires the FTC to report to Congress on FTC efforts taken after enactment of this Act to improve the accuracy of the registry.
