The National Do Not Call Registry was created to stop unwanted sales calls.

What the Registry Doesn’t Do
Will the Registry stop all unwanted calls?
No. The Do Not Call Registry stops sales calls from real companies. The Registry is a list that tells telemarketers what numbers not to call. The FTC does not and cannot block calls. The Registry can’t stop calls from scammers who ignore the Registry.

Are any other types of calls still allowed under FTC rules if I’m on the Registry?
The rules allow
•    political calls
•    charitable calls
•    debt collection calls
•    purely informational calls
•    surveys
But these calls can’t also include a sales pitch.

The DNC list, which is only a list and not a law was established by two actual laws which are Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 codified as 47 U.S.C § 227 and the Telemarketing Sales Rule  16 CFR 310

Do Not Call
Congress passed the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in 1991 in response to consumer concerns about the growing number of unsolicited telephone marketing calls to their homes and the increasing use of automated and prerecorded messages. In response, the Federal Communications Commission adopted rules requiring anyone making a solicitation call to your home to provide his or her name, the name of the person or entity on whose behalf the call is being made and a telephone number or address at which that person or entity can be contacted.
Working with the Federal Trade Commission, the agency developed the national Do Not Call Registry, which applies to all telemarketers and covers interstate and intrastate telemarketing calls. Commercial telemarketers are not allowed to call you if your number is on the registry, subject to certain exceptions.
