| 03-1921 | The Utility Service Cancellation Notices Exception to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act | Notice | Section 101 of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, Pub. L. No. 106-229, codified at 15 U.S.C. 7001 et seq. ("ESIGN" or "the Act"), preserves the legal effect, validity, and enforceability of signatures and contracts relating to electronic transactions and electronic signatures used in the formation of electronic contracts. 15 U.S.C. 7001(a). Section 103 (a) and (b) of the Act, however, provides that the provisions of section 101 do not apply to contracts and records governed by statutes and regulations regarding court documents; probate and domestic law matters; state commercial law; consumer law covering utility services, residential property foreclosures and defaults, and insurance benefits; product recall notices; and hazardous materials documents. Section 103 of the Act also requires the Secretary of Commerce, through the Assistant Secretary for Communications, to review the operation of these exceptions to evaluate whether they continue to be necessary for consumer protection, and to make recommendations to Congress based on this evaluation. 15 U.S.C. 7003(c)(1). This Notice is intended to solicit comments from interested parties for purposes of this evaluation, specifically on the utility cancellation notices exception to the ESIGN Act. See 15 U.S.C. 7003(a)(3). NTIA has published separate notices requesting comment on the other exceptions listed in section 103 of the ESIGN Act.\1\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 2003-01-28 | 2003 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/01/28/03-1921/the-utility-service-cancellation-notices-exception-to-the-electronic-signatures-in-global-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-01-28/pdf/03-1921.pdf | Commerce Department; National Telecommunications and Information Administration | 54,373 | Section 101 of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, Pub.
